Hacking Wii U System Update 5.5.3 released

[Deleted member 373223]

Was anything patched in this update?

No, just updated stuff for GPDR regulations

Maybe Just Dance 2019 requires you to update when it releases on 10/23?

Those asses... Why are they afraid of exploiting?
You’ve already terminated rom sites, there’s no reason to emulate games!

What a time to be alive.

But really now that we have all moved on from the Wii name, seeing the wiiu get a final firm ware update reminds me how much I'm going to miss the Wii as a household name.

good to see its a minimal update. i thought for sure that they would terminate wii u online play with the switch pay service coming soon.

Check if you have a custom DNS enabled or enabled website blocking in your modem settings. Maybe you forgot about those

just update and then click on the CBHC icon, launch homebrew launcher and from there launch CBHC installer again. It's that simple

Hey Kumikochan,

There is no CBHC icon, just the Homebrew Launcher one as you say (and from there launch CBHC installer again) plus the former Haxchi that is the one that we shouldn't touch.

For those who have already done it having the FW 99.99.99, did the FW now says 5.5.3 after the update installation?

Regards

I don't have any of those. The only thing I remember is editing one system file through FTP, but I can't remember which one was.

CBHC App in the Homebrew Launcher, not the system menu.

The one you shouldn't touch works as haxchi. You select that, then you load homebrew channel and from there run cbhc installer again

I wasn't understanding you properly...

So you already did it and the new FW is still the 99.99.99?

Yeah i did. I updated then i opened up the cbhc tile " do not touch " and then i opened up the homebrew channel and used cbhc installer again and works perfectly fine. Even had the 99.99.99 thing and still do

Interesting... I wouldn't say to touch the "do not touch" one...Just open HBL and install the CBHC over again.

HBL wouldn't open without that. The cbhc tile just works the same as haxchi so it ain't a problem. Needed to run that to even open HBL because i would get an error if i didn't. I assume everybody would since therr are no sig patches anymore after the update

The do not touch icon is perfectly fine to launch. It just puts you into cbhc settings where you can select them so you can select homebrew if needed.

The only people who need to reinstall cbhc are people with EUR systems. USA and JPN never had the system.xml overwritten so they will just work as normal after the update.

So in summary, having the EUR WiiU in 5.5.2, with CBHC installed with the FW 99.99.99:

• We don't need to "prepare" the WiiU, like uninstalling, or deactivating anything as the CBHC or Haxsi or whatever.
• After upgrading, we just go to the "do not touch", select Homebrew Launcher, and from there install CBHC over again.
• Everything will keep working and the FW 99.99.99 maintained.

Is this right?

Thanks in advance,

Best

Yes that is correct

Oh, Nintendo remembered that the Wii U exists. :o (At other hand, I'm relieved that this update doesn't include any hidden message like 'The online servers are being terminated' or some shit)

I don't understand why the Wii U still hasn't removed the Miiverse with an update, they didn't hesitate to remove TVii when that service was ended. I think a change to the homescreen might be nice too, kinda lame to see all these Miis still gathering but not actually be real Miis with real posts from users. I mean I get that doing anything on the Wii U is a waste of time and resources, but it'd be nice if they could make it a little cleaner for those of us that still regularly use our Wii Us.

Man, they even didn't patch some games that used the Miiverse in some crucial way (Art Academy crashes if you don't disable the Miiverse in the console settings!).
