    Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

    If you use SSID of NZ@McD1, I think you will get streetpasses regardless of MAC. I haven't got any cycler running, just using the single prime MAC from the spreadsheet with NZ@McD1 and I get several hits per day.

    Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

    Yes, OpenWrt has cron (can even edit crontab in the webui) and can change mac/ssid at any time, not only boot. I haven't implemented anything functional yet, only the UI. I'd very much like to use your script rather than reproduce the function myself. Since I don't have your script running...

    Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

    Probably don't want to change the cooldown, but I would like a way to control the minimum cycle time, rather than just (8hrs) / (#MACS to cycle). If I'm cycling a lot of MACs, I don't want wifi restarting every 30 seconds. I'll get you that additional info when next I'm at home. I'm still...

    Tutorial [HOW-TO] Have a homemade Streetpass Relay

    Does SSID impact who you tag with? I've seen some indication that it does, based on the comments in the spreadsheet about APs at the Nintendo World store in NYC. For example on the GBATEMP prime MACs, is there any reason to alternate between using NZ@McD1 and attwifi for the SSID? (assuming I...

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    It's working for me now. I must have been mistaken. Something else I was doing may have been replacing the correct signature before I moved the flash to the WiiU.

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    This is not working for me on a flash drive. I still get prompted to format when the Wii U restarts. Zeroing out the backup GPT also didn't work for me; still got the Wii U format prompt. Perhaps what KDH saw before was a result of the HPA... the location of the backup GPT specified in the...

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    I absolutely agree either solution (yours or mine) involves something of a risky hack and isn't for everyone. I just want it to work for me :) But: XP 64-bit can read GPT. XP 32-bit can read the hybrid, GPT protective MBR used by BootCamp for dual-booting Windows on a Mac...

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    Doh! I wish I'd caught that before I spent yesterday evening recompiling kernel to re-enable IDE_TASK_IOCTL for hdparm. Based on his previous tests, maybe another solution is a GPT'd drive with the backup table zeroed out? Using a hybrid MBR so unmodified usb loaders can find the partitions...

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    Actually, it occurs to me: The posts in the previous thread indicated that any drive with HPA enabled was ignored by the Wii U. That's possibly one solution for a vWii-only drive for USB loaders while eliminating the formatting prompt. USB loaders shouldn't have any trouble using a HPA enabled...

    Hacking Recover formatted hard drive?

    Has anyone experimented with a GUID partition table? My initial thought (haven't tested anything) is to use a GPT with the legacy MBR table zeroed out. That might make it readable on most PCs, but unrecognizable to Wii U, to stop the formatting prompt from appearing. EDIT: I found the old...

    Hacking Running Sam & Max with USB Loader

    Based on what you understand about it, is it possible that patching it to use IOS222 and enabling the ISO Reload Block in Hermes cIOS would get it runnning off of usb? I intend to try, but haven't got there yet.
