    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    Can you plug your adapter into a computer and show me what the vendor ID is? The one I purchased is also supposed to be AX88772C, but the vendor ID specifically shows up as B.

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    I have not started support for AX88179 specifically yet, I was just working on the AX88772D variant.

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    1. This patcher is not for Wii, it's for vWii, which is a separate mode inside of the Wii U. 2. The AX88179 flagging as the AX88772D makes sense, considering we are identifying the adapters by their Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID). The AX88179 and AX88772D report the same exact VID|PID. I...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    My thoughts 30 minutes ago: > "Wow it's been like a week since I said I would work on the patcher, I might as well get around to it since I have free time" > *Checks the date of my last post* > *1 month has passed by* Okay! Time to actually work on this. Goals remain the same! I can also test...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    Sorry guys, kind of forgot about this thread! I'll make an effort to: - Add compatibility (rather than a hard replacement) - Add a Wii version (if I can get my Wii working) - Add more adapters and maybe try to even tackle the AX88179 since they seem to be selling these more commonly.

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    To be clear you CAN do the internet connection on the vWii after using the patcher, but it doesn't work in some apps/games? If so I believe I already know the reason for this - I didn't patch every IOS's content to make it work throughout every game/app, just IOS 36 and 80 (so Mario Kart...

    I just need to document more of IOS to understand what I'm doing really... especially since this time around I'm going to try to do compatibility rather than a standalone replacement.

    I'll look into both today! I'm always down for a challenge :P The worst scenario I can see right now is the USB not reacting as USB 2.0 when plugging it in.

    The patcher only works for the B/C version currently. I wouldn't mind looking into the D variant, but I don't have my own adapter to test myself.

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    This patch OVERWRITES the existing AX88772 instructions to be compatible with the B/C variant of the AX88772. This is not for multi-adapter compatibility. Use vWii Decaffeinator to uninstall the patched IOS's, and then do a system update to get the stock IOS's back.

    Hacking Hardware We can now use the AX88772B on the Wii U

    It is not a region specific patch, and it's patched at runtime via homebrew. Patching the file directly, or even unpacking, patching, and repacking - caused more issues than I want to actually try tackling (I thought I bricked my Wii permanently like twice :P) Keep in mind this is my first ever...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    If you bought an ethernet adapter for your Wii and it doesn't work, this is probably why: The Wii and Wii U only supports the original AX88772 chip, and most ASIX adapters sold today use newer versions (AX88772B, 772C, or 772D) that aren't supported. This app fixes that by patching the system...

    Hacking Hardware We can now use the AX88772B on the Wii U

    Hey, really appreciate the help. I actually spent a while trying to patch the vWii IOSes directly... found the PID in IOS58's binary VID-PID table and the two ASCII device path strings in IOS80's ethernet module, wrote a script to patch them inside the WAD (decrypt, patch, update TMD hash...
