Certainly! As stated there, Maschell will be releasing a blog post about the discovery very soon
Yep yep. As far as what this entails for the end-user, I will leave that up to Maschell and co. to tease, but I can promise you that the overall experience will be better than before. More technically inclined users can read up on what he has done on his
blog.
In the meantime, maybe hold off on buying Brain Age if you were thinking about getting it for CHBC
I can see that it's definitely exciting that there are more possibilities that this can bring to the end user over CBHC, but I just can't figure out from what all he's saying what exactly those possibilities will be.
Here are the possible remaining things I can only hope to happen to the Wii U, and I have my doubts this will make any of them possible, but with nowhere else to go, maybe listing off what maybe they could be, could help me recognize what they will be:
-Automatically boot with certain plugins enabled, without having to launch the plugin system. I bet this could happen, though honestly I think we could probably configure CBHC to do this right now with a forked version of WUPL that just reads a config file when launched to know what plugins to automatically load or not without entering the gui, and then setting CBHC to boot the WUPL homebrew automatically at start.
-Overclocked all things vWii. Could we see shorter load times on actual Wii games one day, not just better performance of things like Wii64/Not64 or WiiSXrx? This seems feasible to me.
-More than 300 titles on the home menu? Super doubtful on this, to this day we still haven't found where this restriction is located on the 3DS or Wii U. But hell if this could bypass or change this limit, that'd be amazing.
-Control Wii games with Gamecube controllers that were never programmed for it? I understand this is actually something coming, including being able to map motion control gestures to individual buttons on the controller, but I'm almost certain this isn't tied to anything we're talking about here.
From there, I dunno, I really don't know what other things we could hope to make the Wii U do that isn't just more about specific homebrew and emulators we'd like to see on the system.
