    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    Personally, I'd guess it's the EXI wires, make sure you have the 4 pins bridged well because the Wii U EXI lines sink a lot of current and sre hard to override to get the SD boot to trigger. If you have one of those 00 error number sequences, that'd also tell you if it's running any of the SD...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    C3 can mean it's overshooting the reset sweep, loading too many OTP bytes and hitting SEEPROM CRC32 errors. Which could mean a few things: - The nRST wire is too long - The SD card isn't actually working and it swept past the right reset offsets (try watching the output from first power-on to...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    ok that's useful, the order of LED indications is basically like: boot0 - solid red boot1 - blink red, RTC has not been read yet boot1 - blink yellow (standby)/blue (normal boot), RTC has read and the console is initializing DRAM, verifying fw.img, reading PRSH, etc boot1 - solid blue, disk...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    nah that's just something I had done and needed to make note of in the release. If PRSHhax is still not working after re-flashing the Pico, then I might have to brainstorm some more. Maybe one thing to double-check, dump `BOOT1_SLC.RAW` and check what the hash of it is? It should be MD5...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    Maybe try this release? It will require re-flashing your Pico. https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/wii_u_modchip/releases/tag/v0.8 There was a theoretical edge case on the PRSHhax reset where it could get stuck in a de_Fused state, and your console seems to be a bit weird with its timing. is...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    yes, and minute does have a vWii boot1 flasher (however, I haven't pushed a release which has that change yet, I only just got it to work 3 weeks ago). In theory an alternative process could be like, hack Wii U normally -> run some program which flashes NAND -> install Pico w/ or w/o EXI wires...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    you'll want to see 0x1E ... 0x21 in the numbers before 0x25, so that's either EXI CLK is borked, or you didn't bridge the 4 pins correctly and it can't overcome the Wii U SoC's internal pull-up/down (forget which off the top of my head but it's very strong and the pin bridge is required) Edit...

    Tutorial How To: Upgrading / Rebuilding Wii U Internal Memory (MLC)

    apparently the boot1.img I released in v0.7 was bugged and would stall when reading the SD card, it should be resolved in v0.7.1 now.

    de_Fuse, a Wii U modchip in development by ShinyQuagsire

    It's worth noting, any console with a blue light can be recovered to *at least* the functionality of an online-banned console or a devkit (unless it's blinking blue bc the DRAM is bad I guess lol, in that case you can at least pull the drive key and fix a broken drive Wii U). But if the light...

    Hacking Kodi on the Switch

    I'll take rando-coders over "ecosystems" trying to ploy people into only one solution. Homebrew is cool but I think the ability to choose between HOS and Linux or whatever else comes later is great and I'm personally staking my claims on Linux after one of my units got banned, way safer here and...

    Hacking WIP Audio Driver (We don't know if it works)

    Drivers won't really do anything without device tree modifications to tell the drivers which registers/devices to use and link together. Otherwise it won't know, say, which GPIO the headphone detect is.

    Hacking Arch Linux to be Released soon ...Shots Fired against ReSwitched & F0F

    Yeah there's the Pixel C (also X1) but I already have a Switch and wanted porting experience. It was a good exercise and will be something I can point at for jobs or w/e. Also just curious to bring in an intersection of Linux kernel hackers (think XDA) into Switch stuff as well, it's no fun with...

    Hacking Do we even need team salt's exploit at this point?

    I think I've mentioned this elsewhere but the reason things dropped off was nobody really cared too much, I kinda tried to keep things chugging along with makefst and by getting WUT up to steam but for the most part interest fell quickly even after we picked up more people to go for a release...

    Hardware Want to trade my Switch for PS4 VR what are your guys views?

    All these people saying VR is going to die off, smh. VR is in its infancy and it's got plenty of time to go, there wouldn't be companies going into things like OpenXR if it was just going to off and die out of nowhere. Personally though I can agree that it's a bit clunky right now, can't quite...
