Hacking Hacking the WiiU: A Simple Progress Guide

[muskieratboi]

Don't hold your breath, there's a reason nobody posts on this thread about it, because the OP hasn't been on in at least a month

I lurk pretty frequently. I've also been on the 3DS forums more recently than anything else.

Besides, I already made a note about the kernel hack. when/if it gets publically released, I'll update the OP. The guide is supposed to be about "What the average schmo" can do right now.

Clarified a little about Wii U updates, since we're getting close to an exploit and a new firmware just hit.

So do we know for sure 5.4.0 isn't safe? Or are we in an unsafe-until-proven-safe sort of situation?

Whats with WiiU hack?

 

[Miles54321]

Is it still a good idea to update the system, or is an explot letting u play wii u back ups coming soon

 

[muskieratboi]

Updated with news about the new usermode Exploit. Nothing for the plebs to worry about for now, but soon, now.. soon...

BTW, does anyone have a clearer image than wololo's of the new Hello World?

as far as i know you can't install wiiware or wads at all on a vwii do you have any info to backup that claim?

I have done it before. You CAN install wads on vwii.

 

[Ailuros27]

He is correct. Not only can you do that, but you can do the reverse, if you're careful. Just yesterday I successfully used Yet Another Blue Dump Mod to move VC titles from my Wii U to my Wii. I never should have done that system transfer.

Does Vwii hacking void your warranty?

Does Vwii hacking void your warranty?

Yes, but it's not like it's particularly valuable anyways

Hi, I hav a modded Wii and Im playing Skyward Sword with USB Loader. I just got a Wii U and I want to know if I can continue playing the game on vWii without loosing my progress?

Thank you.

You can export your save to vWii.

1. play the game on vWii at least one time.
2. on Wii: backup the save using the official Wii data manager (Wii>data>savegame). copy to SD
3. on vWii: restore the save the same way. copy to vWii.

If the save is write protected, you can use the homebrew SavegameManagerGX instead for step2 and 3.

whats the thing with WiiU hack?

An exploit was found, (and Finally, FINALLY publically released..) And Hackers/researchers are taking their time to find more hacks, and create SDKs for homebrew.

Don't expect anything the standard user can use for a few months.

@MN1: "The current one relies on a race attack which is very unreliable. I had thought I could fix it, but it now seems impossible."
You should be attempting this while switching between two NNIDs. Also a virgin U would be a whole lot easier. (one that still has no nnid set up on it yet)
But, I guess a virgin U is gonna be out of the question due to relying on web browser huh?

How does that matter? Web browser has nothing to do with NNID.
