hello everyone, just signed up here as i am looking to buy wii u and seems like the only hack compatible version is 5.3.2 - so i will ask the obvious dumb questions

- by chance if the console i get has a higher version, is there anyway to downgrade? yes/no?
- if the version is lower than 5.3.2 is there way a to bring it to 5.3.2 .. because obviously going to Nintendo server will directly push the latest version.
- someone has any tips on buying wii u? which bundle/version might have 5.3.2?

i have a bunch of JTAG and Xkey360 xboxes and now looking to get a wii u but would want to be able to jailbreak. thanks to all the champs who are making it possible.

any help is greatly appreciated!
1) No
2) Yes. The OP discusses how to do this. It's not too complicated.
3) I would start by searching eBay for consoles that advertise 5.3.2. If not, then try some of the earlier bundles if you wanna buy new. It's better to get a system that is pre-5.3.2 and then update it than it is to get a later firmware which will screw you.

Thank you sir, time to craigslist. Ebay is just plain clean

Did you guys figure out why WWHD doesn't work?

Thanks.

Well kind of yeah. I reversed the stack dump I got on Kirby and saw it fails on memory allocation. So I added some debug messages to the creation and allocation of/from expanded heap and it seems several games have the same issue. The games try setup heap memory areas on startup and it seems WWHD tries to create a heap area of more than 950 MB of memory. Smash Bros does not have that much assigned in the kernel table and therefor WWHD fails. I saw the same issue on Kirby and it is very likely that there are more games that have the same issue. Though don't worry hope is not lost ;-). Let's just say we are on it with golden45.

Good to know, thanks for the update. I've tried so much crap with my limited programming knowledge to try and get this game running that it isn't funny.. Lol

Not sure why @EclipseSin but your "Loadiine (Latest)" doesn't load Kirby's Adventure VC and just locks up at the Smash Bros screen, but "Loadiine (Previous)" does just fine, almost instantly.

That's the whole point of keeping another version on the page. My SNES VC is also broken on the latest. My NES games work fine though, but didn't try Kirby. I'll try Kirby in a minute.

Yeah! I understand that. I really should've PM'd you. I guess I was just wondering the differences in them... the latest dimok loadiine was the one that mainly sped up how fast it loads a lot of games, correct?

No, that's like the last 4 or so commits that have faster loading. So that's included in the (Previous) one on my site. The latest changes the memory area and increases the size of the RPX and RPL we can use (iirc anyway).

Expect things to break or get better at the same time using (Latest), new work can cause problems with old things that worked fine or introduce new bugs after all. I try to keep a build that works with the VC and Backups in the (Previous) slot though, so use that one if a "working" title is broke, then let me know if something is up.

Also, Kirby's Adventure works fine on Latest for me, I'm playing it right now.

Oh weird! I might try putting it on my SD card again. I didn't mean it as an attack on you or to bug you, I only mentioned it because my WiiU is currently a Netflix+Kirby's Adventure+Woolly World device. Netflix for everyone, Kirby's Adventure for being my favorite game since childhood 22 years ago (holy shit it's been that long), and Woolly World for when the girlfriend comes over. (Bought the US version now, but can't really switch over, too late :-/)

I would love it if you made your own thread, though. The OP of this thread seems to not update anything, and the thread is 68 pages long now! You just are the most up-to-date on things, it seems.

It's no problem, I know you weren't trying to bug me or anything. Lol. I'm on the net trying to do my own stuff atm as well so I have GBAT open anyway, and figured I'd look into it for you. I'll PM you in a few.

Why you gotta be such a cool, chill person.

I've downloaded latest dimok release, there is a www folder wich contains these files:
files65098.jpg

Are these files enouth for the kernel exploit and loadiine loading?
Its just one index.html, does it give a selection menu on the wiiu browser to choose exploit or loadiine?

Thanks in advance.
It's enough for launch loadiine, if you have already have kexploit.

I make my test this mornging, it's working but I haven't can launch "mario 3D wolrd" (which is OK on compatibility list)...

Where can I have the newer version of loadiine ? (I want to have my server, so i want have the playload file)

What is the possibility of wii eShop games like Xenoblade Chronicles and Super Mario Galaxy 2 being supported? I know they probably aren't very high on the priority list because we can play them via vWii, but the ability to games like Xenoblade with the gamepad controller would be a welcome addition! Maybe this could also lead to a future of injecting further wii games into the eShop versions so we can have gamepad support.
