Hacking 5.4.0 progress

No, rename it to .mp4

Renamed it and it gives me a "no kxploit" message

Well then make a different homebrew game? I was thinking about creating a Breakout clone but I found out I'd have to completely re-write the collision engine.

So far I'm the only person who's really contributed anything noteworthy in Wii U homebrew. I've also worked on the kernel exploit development too (OSDriver race condition + secret write primitive on 5.5+). I don't have enough free time to be the sole developer in the Wii U homebrew scene. Prove to me this can be about more than just backup loading. Step it up people!

Break out is sweet, also snake, if you could make it to the Nokia 3200 version as close as possible.

You always need to run the kernel exploit first before trying to run things like that.

But backup loading is the most important part.

that wasn't clever, or funny.

Oh jeez, I haven't been keeping up with Wii U hacking at all.
I have a 5.4 and the Hello World worked.
Is there anything useful I can do yet? Is there a way to stop the update notifications?

I run the exploit and it said it was successful . Still the same

Don't get emotional mate, you understand how users are, I totally respect your work, but it's sad you didn't continue doing more stuff for wii u (at least as far as I know). It would be great if you provide documentation of what you know about GX2 so people can get into it easier.

@FIX94 has made some great progress with GX2 libs: https://github.com/wiiudev/libwiiu/tree/master/examples/gx2thread

In the future Wii U hombrew should move to a more native format though thanks to @ExJam https://github.com/decaf-emu/wut

That's a good idea.

Sorry it's off-topic, but OMG, I love you man ! Nokia 3200 snake was just the best ! Used to spend nights playing this (and no, I'm not sarcastic).

I was being sincere

ok then... still waiting for 5.5... x, x bad idea to buy a console years after release xDD

I can work on adding 5.5 support to my Pong clone if people are interested. Really want to redo the gfx with gx2 and fix the rendering engine.

Already ported Pong to 5.5.0 http://josamilu.de/wiiu/2/pong.mp4
But there is always room for improvement

If you had to change anything for 5.5.0 PRs (https://github.com/wiiudev/libwiiu/tree/master/osscreenexamples/pong) are always welcome friend.

Cool, when making pong how did you decide where the ball goes once it makes contact?

Heck yea, I use to write my highscores on my keyboard. Snake 2 kind of jump the shark. ( let you go through walls, who wants that?) What speed did you rock?

not sure how he did it, but one of the most quick/basic ways to do it is by inverting the ball vector in X axis

 

[NexoCube]

How to port something from 532 to 550 ?

We don't know these information for 5.5.0 :

#elif VER == 532
    #define KERN_SYSCALL_TBL        0xFFEAA0E0
    #define KERN_CODE_READ            0xFFF02274
    #define KERN_CODE_WRITE            0xFFF02294
    #define KERN_ADDRESS_TBL        0xFFEAAA10
    #define KERN_HEAP                0xFF200000

Just a note for anyone aiming for WUPInstaller. When you do get it running on 5.4, your system menu will freeze completely, (which is different behavior than 5.3.2) but it is still running the install in the backround.

Does direction and speed make a difference?
