Hacking 5.50 Exploit?

[Taven]

Why don't you just wait for IOSU like everyone else it'll come out when it comes out.

 

[Sammi Husky]

the point is they have it we dont even if we did get it ..it would take weeks to do anything with it i own the 3 best games on the wii nfsmb splatoon nsmash bros

I wasn't complaining, any modder worth their salt already has access to the kexploit and are working on modding infrastructures like Soneek and Dant are for sm4sh. Im in a group with them and a bunch of other sm4sh modders, i just don't have a wiiu at all so i never contacted MN1 and company about it.

The general public can't do anything with the kexploit besides piracy anyways. The only thing your missing out on with the current situation is Piracy and modding.

i am all for progress and all that watched what ppl done with the original xbox ps1 onwards ...i hate that progress has been halted....also hate that devs round here try and play god to kids its the worst kind of pathetic..when everything that concerns the ps4 is all open source ..and in all honesty is worth 5 x what the wii u is...why these people would think that in any way shape or form that what there doing is super special is beyond me or defies logic and is nonsensical

In my opinion the wiiu is virtually dead, and the 3ds will go downhill pretty fast. Reason is there's not that many Wiiu's that can't be hacked. There are even fewer 3ds's that can't be hacked. Games sales must be plummeting to almost zero. No developers will support it if there sales go through the floor. That's just my opinion.

To explain further, this is sort of a sore topic around here. Hykem had a few release dates planned to try and appease everyone, but eventually led to various circumstances that caused him to delay releases to try and improve what he had.

Eventually all the self-entitled whiners started to harass him endlessly. This provoked him to poke a little fun at the naysayers and he released (most of) some keys related to WiiU. The remaining characters of the keys were easily bruteforced from the community and it proved Hykem knew what he was talking about (those in the know already had no doubt).

Time continued to go by but the harassment reached critical and I think he may have just had a "screw you guys, why should I put up with this stuff when there's more important things in the world" attitude (don't quote me I'm speculating).

For a long time now, Hykem has not updated and given any word publicly about his progress, or whether he still plans to release. Maybe the ugly community forced him back "underground" and maybe he is collaborating with some folks behind the scenes. Until he publicly states using one of his own social accounts or here, take that as the latest.

Smealum posted some incredible proof-of-concepts, including a similar setup to EmuNAND on 3DS, but he has openly stated several times that no one should expect a release anytime soon (if ever).

So in short, nothing of what you're thinking of/looking for has (publicly) progressed or been released.

An excellent thread to keep an eye on, which happens to be stickied:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/hacking-the-wiiu-a-simple-progress-guide.338900/

He is very good at keeping it updated. If something is released, you'll know fairly easily.

Good day, sir.

Wow, that's quite sad and shameful of the community. I never knew that was going on, I mean I can sort of understand a mild annoyance if you will, with Hykem not meeting the release dates he has set but the harassment that has spawned is completely unjustified and uncalled for. Nobody is paying the dude for his work and it is a straight up privilege for us if and when he decides release the exploit on his own accord. Harassing him is not only counter productive but really just sad.

Shame on us for doing that. I will continue waiting patiently for any updates but but the entitlement of some people just seem to know no bounds, I hope the community has learned a lesson from this but considering how long gbatemp has been around and involved in the scene, you'd think this kind of stuff simply wouldn't happen in the first place. It's a shame, for everyone.

your right there its nindendos own fault tho what did they expect when there hardware was already dated in 2012

I agree. Nintendo shot themselves in the foot, but if the 5.5.1 kexploit was released sales would shoot up. And were supposed to believe that not a single dev has ever pirated a single game. Listening to them, they're all angels.

There's pretty much no reason to need privilege escalation to kernel for any purpose other than piracy. Don't expect myself or anyone else to be releasing new kernel exploits any time soon.

what about cafiine
sd caffiine
tcp gecko
code managers
etc.

This is excluding game mods though, right? imo for a thriving scene, homebrew and modding both need to be present. I'd say aside from piracy, modding is next in line for most looked forward to feature of a hacked console.

Yes, that is an issue unfortunately. :/ Right now if people want to mod games they can purchase an older console. As a security professional I am under no obligation to disclose any vulnerabilities I find while reverse engineering the system to Nintendo or anyone else. I adhere to responsible disclosure although I don't go disclosing client side exploits to vendors that do not have a bug bounty or at least some sort of disclosure program. If an vulnerability is patched I will release what I know.

I'm just tired of all these leaches on the scene. I want people to create homebrew and game modding tools (thank you for your contributions btw). This is the reason why I released the first tools to decrypt 3DS NCCH partitions, worked with Comex on IRC to create the first smash file un-packer for 3ds, worked on Wii U home brew and the OSDriver kernel exploit.

That would be way to much work. I'm not even sure if XBMC (called Kodi now) supports PPC architecture. I recommend buying a Raspberry Pi 2 Rev B and running OSMC. That's what I do...

how the fuck are we going to create mods without the kernel LMAO
so i make some good custom textures and model imports and how will i even testif they work?
NO kernel release
No hacks release

Again I gotta agree. Hacks are impossible without the exploit.....

There are a plethora of consoles with older firmware out there. I only paid about $100 for a used Wii U (Black 32GB) which didn't include the gamepad. Don't have the money? I don't care, not my problem.

Anyways, above anything else it's not worth burning a new exploit for just a few firmware reversions. :/ There are a finite amount of exploits available in the system. They don't just grow on trees. If nothing else, think about that.

Only problem with that is I don't think there's not gonna be many more (if any) firmware updates. In fact I'm pretty sure the new Zelda will be held back for the new console. It'll hardly sell on the wiiu, and there's pretty few new games on the horizon either. No wiiu definitely dead. Nintendo won't throw any more money at it. In my opinion....

The Wii U will be dead in my eyes when they take the servers offline like they did with the Wii.

I'll have to look up pokken token guys......sorry...

Agreed about the raspi 2. Just get that, punch kodi or osmc on it and enjoy, not sure about osmc but kodi even uses hdmi-cec, so you can connect the microusb to your TVs USB-port and for example your WiiUs HDMI cable to it and control the interface with your TV Remote. It seriously doesnt get easier and lazier then that and costs as much as eating 2 good pizzas
