You got it for free if you had GamePad notifications turned on.

patience, not buy any game until we have something safe, any DS game should work

Yeah that doesn't even start to answer my question, it's like you're answering something else entirely.

It might be wise to buy a DS game no less, if anything THIS would be the reason for Nintendo to provide us some much needed stability *off to buy Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon*

Buy any Ds game you like, according to others it should work for every one of them.
Enjoy the game while the devs make this ready for end user, and once it's released make use of the game.

can't we just do this with kirby DS via loadiine on synand or with sig checks removed on rednand?

with all due respect, this still doesn't answer my question lol

I'm no expert, but the you probably need to have a DS title installed to the system to exploit the vulnerability. Loadiine games are not installed to the system.

As for rednand: there would be no point because you already launch rednand with CFW. This is about launching an exploit when the Sysnand starts.

I still need to use the webexploit today to run hbl in rednand though. it would be useful.

thanks for your answer though, I appreciate anything thats not "no", "just buy quick trust me, k?" from ppl who just don't know more than I do already lol

Is that hack usable or not yet? Is there any video demonstrating its use?
If I understand correctly that hack allows us to boot Wiiu directly to hbl right?

This could allow us to boot rednand directly or hbl (rednand would be better)
This isn't useable ATM.
You need a DS VC game.

It's still very unstable and has a high risk of bricking the Wii U, it's best we wait till things are more finalized.

Just think... there really wasn't anything going on with the Wii U scene until the Switch was announced... then a few weeks later we have this!

I mean it's essentially what the early 3DS CFW was at this point but still!

Just a few more things to figure out... (Wii mode, redNAND system updates possibly bricking the console..., etc...)

My hope is that eventually a cold boot exploit is discovered that runs before anything else (boot2 for the Wii U basically...)

 

[Psi-hate]

Do you think that this being released will delay SALT's release, as they may want to incorporate a coldboot hack into their version of iosu/rednand??

It won't. It speeds it up since they weren't gonna work on it because the vuln they had was the same as Smea's so they didn't want to release with it without knowing if smea was going to release it or not.

Yeah no problem. I've been in your position before.

However, you're still mistaken. If this exploit was installed to just rednand, (assuming it even can be) it would only launch when you start rednand. To launch rednand without having open the web browser as you're describing the exploit would need to be on the sysnand.

It's really kinda funny when you think about, because it's almost exactly like the 3ds was at some point.
We get Emunand/Rednand, but have to manually boot it every time.
Supposedly protects against firmware updates (not sure if that's the case for the Wii U, or if that will even matter at this point in its life span).
Signature patches but vwii/GBA VC and Dsi Ware doesn't work by default.
Menuhax/Haxchi gets released, allows coldboot.
Last step is something like A9LH/boot2 access for brick protection (and 100% boot rate).

no, I know that's exactly what I meant. (I'd first nee to use the webexploit, then rely on autoboot installed via nds vc on rednand sing patched)

Thank you smea for actually releasing this exploit. Just got a basic OSFatal output from the pal version of brain age after adjusting most of the addresses so this is for sure portable to many different ds vc titles if you are patient enough to actually do it

Hopefully this won't be locked or exclusive to PAL region games

the original game smea used was the us version of kirby squeak squad so if you own this game you can already use haxchi, also massive thanks to @VinsCool by the way for providing me with some helpful debugging info since I dont own a us wiiu or that game, while you probably didnt know what any of the commands do I said you to enter it helped out a lot
