    Hacking (vWii) - Tri-Core Linux

    IOSU doesn't get you anything in linux that we didn't already have. We already have linux running at full speed with all cores available. We had that when I was working with TSK well over a year ago. What we didn't have was a kernel that took advantage of it. The graphics were framebuffer based...

    Hacking WUPinstaller (Update/Title installer) - modded to work on 5.4

    Sorry about that, had to sleep for work this morning. Yeah its in the mcppatch.S. I was referencing the first event of it at line 57 because you said it failed rather quickly; however if its taking a bit longer to fail I can look into why it would fail during the install later.

    Hacking WUPinstaller (Update/Title installer) - modded to work on 5.4

    I'm actually more curious about why it is failing than anything else but I don't have a development platform setup right now to test things. I'm not questioning whether it works or not, mostly just trying to understand the changes that were made and why they work. Based on what you changed it...

    Hacking WUPinstaller (Update/Title installer) - modded to work on 5.4

    At a quick glance of code, I tend to agree with @crediar on this front. There isn't anything that you've done to "fix" any problems with what crediar did in the master to make things work initially. Its much more likely that changes made to the way the race for ksploit is handled changed timings...

    Hacking 5.4.0 progress

    As for why the addresses are in different places, when a image is assembled every binary is shifted to a location, if one binary changes, all subsequent binary locations will change. A pretty easy to understand analogy is making pb&j sandwich. Once you've made it, now make another one. Notice...

    Hacking Coding vWii 3-core support - everything you need to know.

    All this code does is enable the hardware at the most basic hardware level. To my knowledge, you'd still have to have a thread handler (the xbox 360 code is a very good example), among other things. The current code doesn't actually kickstart the other cores (note the cmpwi r3,0 then beq...

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    From what I understand, it really didn't have much to do with doing it this way over the other. At some point can someone find a different entry point, probably, but is it really worth the time to invest when there are literally thousands of unpatched webkit bugs? The reason that they didn't...

    Hacking Gateway 3.0.1 Ultra

    It was the blue card that wasn't working but the problem was that I had ninjhax still installed from 9.2 which was breaking things. Future note to others, uninstall that (or delete the gamesave) first.

    Hacking Gateway 3.0.1 Ultra

    Downgraded mine but the blue card won't show at all anymore. Anyone have that issue?

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    Pretty much any incomplete update could brick a wii; however, 4.2 updated boot2 to boot2v4 which is why it was known as being notoriously bad. Its why they recommended bootmii so heavily because it was safer.

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    To be fair to the hackers though, twiizers pretty much claimed that every wii update was dangerous because of how notoriously brickable the wii is.

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    Yeah I wasn't quite right and you both explained it much better than I could on the amount of beer that I was consuming on Christmas eve. Merry Christmas all (and Happy Holidays to everyone else).

    Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

    They were using the gecko for debugging purposes. The wiring is to an internal wii memory card bus. All they have to do is use the old gecko debug methods and they get a working high-speed hardware debugger. Wiring it up serves no greater access than people do on 5.1 with the web browser hack...

    Hacking Why GW 2.6 Launcher.dat still not cracked for there EMU?

    Strictly speaking, its just obfuscated. In looking at it in IDA Pro, as long as you have the entry point, you can pretty much figure out what its doing if you have decent knowledge of arm assembly. The issue is that the people who do have the knowledge to do it have no interest in it because its...
