Hacking ColdbootHax, if you want it do this.

[driverdis]

I really hope no one goes near this until there's a proper release. It's almost a guaranteed brick if you don't understand what you're doing.

I think people should at least go out and buy a DS game for Wii U. There is no harm in doing this other than that it costs money to do so.

At worst: If nothing happens with this, then you have a DS game you will either play or not play and are out some money.

At best: You may have a way to have a Priiloader like setup that protects against System Menu bricks or a direct boot the homebrew channel or RedNAND setup later on.

----------------------------- If you do not get a game
At best: You can buy a game later if something comes out and join in on the fun.

At worst: Nintendo releases a System Update then you need to hope that spoofing works to buy and download a game from the eShop on 5.5.1, The DS games are pulled from the eShop, or the DS emulator is silently updated one-by-one on the eShop so new downloads of any DS games are patched to prevent the exploit from working.

That just emptied my glass halfway....

According to the example on smealum github the game might be
US 101A5600 Kirby Squeak Squad
EU 101A5700 Kirby Mouse Attack

Indeed it is a Kirby game...

I was just reading somewhere that it's almost feasible.
I cannot wait for HBL installed on my main menu. Thats the holy grail for me...

I think the method haxchi uses would be for the best for launching Homebrew Loader or anything actually.
this way you can launch "Brain Age" for example and if you are online, friends and Nintendo will see you playing "Brain Age" when you are actually in HBL or other homebrew.

the PS Vita ran into a problem where once homebrew could be installed to the livearea (system menu), it would show up on PSN while you were online. A lot of us Wii U owners have our own NNIDs tied to the console and having homebrew show up would be bad for any of us looking to use that on Switch via the Nintendo account system.

VC? No wonder this wasn't released earlier, it is just a nice way of bricking your console next time you format it or somebody/yourself delete your games. The average user is going to do it, sooner or later.

Booting into a hidden system title would be safer but i have no idea if there is anything else this exploitable.

Couldnt be just make the Wii U auto boot to the web browser instead of using a DS game ? YOu can have it automatically go to the website and kick in the exploit anyway.

Or am I missing something?

 

[MeteK]

From what i understood, you'll be able to boot directly to HBL... so why still use the web browser ..

I'm guessing they mean instead of using a VC game you boot to the web browser which can load an exploit (set it as your homepage?).

Handy for those who are either too cheap or unable to download a VC game.

 

[N7Kopper]

Well, I bought Shadow Dragon a while ago just to play it.
So I'm set for this when it's actually usable.

That's still just more of a hassle. By being able to boot directly into a CFW/RedNAND, we'll be able to immediately load up our home menu with all our installed games including games only available digitally as well as any homebrew we'll have since installed to the home menu. Whereas if you boot directly into the browser and even if you set your homepage to boot into the homebrew launcher, you then still have to select the cfwbooter to then load into your cfw/RedNAND. It's like the difference on the 3DS between A9LH and those that are still booting up the 3DS normally and then using the browser exploit in order to boot into the CFW. A9LH is clearly just quicker and more intuitive, same thing here.

Let's see how much it costs...

6.29 pounds. Welp, I don't have enough balance, and I can't go back to the UK to buy myself a gift card. Oh, well.

Huh. Thanks, but I don't think I'll use this exploit, because everyone says it's unstable, and you can easily break your console.

Oh, I bought one of these... last Christmas.

AFAIK only if you want the cold boot part too.

Besides, Brain Training was free, right?

Not for me, that's for sure.

Yes i saw other people downloaded. If i will be at home i will check it.

 

[SomeGamer]

Check it, especially if you had GamePad notifications turned on when it was still a new feature.

What?

 

[smileyhead]

How can I check it?

 

[SomeGamer]

Search for Dr. Kawashima, then see if you can download one of them for free (or redownload).

What?

@smileyhead and I and a couple of ppl played a Mario Kart 8 tournament.
