Homebrew Official 5.5.X ELF Loader

[josamilu]

So I cant use backups?

Exactly, you can't launch backups until a Kernel or IOSU is released. The elfloader is only for homebrew at the moment, and only really interresting for developers so far, because there are only a few Homebrew .elf apps the normal user can use.

Alright thx

 

[josamilu]

Alright thx

No problem. However with this elf loader, developers can develop emulators for Wii U, so you migth be able to enjoy some great old games on your Wii U in the future

Why don't you (people doing hacks) just release the private kernel exploits? y_y I read there is more than one kernel hack y_y

There's a difference between PPC Kernel and IOSU Kernel, and the other PPC Kernel ones are by different people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh man! Homebrew is a dream coming true. Don't care about the pirate stuff just looking for the brew Thank you!!!

Has anyone developed any new .elf's? Or started developing emulators yet?

The SDK is very limited and has no hardware/sounds support soooo... probably won't see anything like an emulator until IOSU is released.

Isn't loadiine GX using GX2 and sound support? Or is it only possible with Kernel access?

GX2 can be used in userland but Loadiine requires kernel, yes.

what about the sound?

 

[NWPlayer123]

what about the sound?

Well, consider that all games run in userland, if you can figure out how to do the same stuff, you have everything you need. They even have tons of sound functionality, a Sound-1 and a Sound-2 library, with multiple sub-libraries for stuff like MIXing and ones for MIDI and synthesizer, as well as being able to render with both PPC and DSP, and stream audio like BFSTM/BRSTM files do

Oh wow, that's interesting! I didn't know that there was MIDI support.

Hi how used boot.elf? I used web browser wiiu my ip pc/boot.elf no work

Yeah, I saw the code in *cough* certain documents *cough* I may or may not be in possession of, but until this elf loader was released, there wasn't much use in messing with it. Although now my big problem is compiling elf files. They won't compile in Cygwin, and I haven't bothered to install things in my ubuntu virtualbox environment yet.

Does anyone know the maximum allocatable size we can get from heap ?
I have to allocate a buffer to copy an unsigned char array of about 990 000 rows . When I use MEMAllocFromHeapEx function it crashes, so i assume it's not possible to allocate a buffer that big...
If it's not possible, how can i allocate directly from the stack (and what is the stack adress range for the elf loader) ?.

I have another question, when i allocate memory for a struct, does it allocate memory for struct pointers placed inside the struct (as in linked list for ex) ?

 

[Phantom64]

Can i play illegal games downloaded from that iso site with this?

 

[shovelcat]

Why developing emulator when we can inject roms into VC ?

We can't inject games on 5.5.0/5.5.1
Pre-Edit: We can't do a shit on 5.5.0/5.5.1

 

[thekarter104]

Can i play illegal games downloaded from that iso site with this?

No. An elf loader allows for more code.
You can only play backups with Kernel or IOSU. If you really wish to play that game, just buy it or wait like forever lol.

The only valuable emulator for WiiU because of the gamepad is SCUMMV. Else... most of us don't care... It's alot of work for barely no results

You better work on a Flash Player Emulator or Java 8 support.
