Hacking Hacking the WiiU: A Simple Progress Guide

[muskieratboi]

The thread is to show the progress of things like this right?

Welp.

*edits main post*

Yeah, I know there's all kinds of stuff we're just waiting for them to freaking RELEASE ALREADY !!!!

(I know, patience ... and I don't even HAVE a Wii U yet. )

I'll get a Wii/WiiU pro controller that emulates as a Classic controller pro.Maybe you guys should get it too http://www.amazon.com/Pro-Controller-Wii-Nintendo-U-6304900/dp/B009D4JW3U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355874217&sr=8-1&keywords=pro controller

It may not come out for months, Walmart's online site says 2/28/13 (take it with a grain of salt considering its Walmart tho) but nobody else has even posted a release date for it. I want someone to review it first before i jump to get one.

this is coming from someone who preordered the "Razer Onza TE" half a year in advance and had my friends get one when it came out. It was supposed to be the best controller ever made, and it seemed like it was , until the triggers broke from just using it. then my second one broke from the same problem, and so have my friends. I will NEVER pre-order another controller again until people start reviewing it first to see how it holds up durability wise.

true. that one looks super cheap from the pictures - which at least they finally posted. i had a controller once where the joysticks carved notches into the sides from use, and i don't even play very much.

I was one of the first to jump on the Nyko Wand+ bandwagon when they came out. they suck badly, the speaker buzzed alot since they did not know how to properly use the Bluetooth speaker stuff since not even the dolphin team has figured that out.
and the Wand+ had trouble with homebrew and even regular games with it being jumpy and the rumble being super loud. its even worse now that i have a Wii U. NintendoLand randomly asks me to insert a MotionPlus adapter into the Wand+, which has one already.
i guess Nintendo wants Wand+ owners to run a Wand++ (Wii MotionPlusPlus) remote. sometimes, i can play, and sometimes, i cant. I have no motionplus adapter to see what happens if I plug a motionplus into a wand+. I wish i did to see what would happen since the builtin one randomly works.

It's an okay controller, but it's not as all-in-one as they say it is. The Wii and WiiU register the device as a Wiimote with a Wii Classic controller connected. It is NOT a Wii U controller Pro as well, as some may confuse it to be. Game compatibility may not be 100% either. I'm seeing some major issues with games like Metroid: Other M or Super Paper Mario, for example.

let's have a talk about the interworks controller in a extra thread in the right section: http://gbatemp.net/threads/interworks-pro-controller-u-wiimote-classic-pro.339452/

Any info about using cheats in WiiWare/VC games in Gecko OS?

 

[Skeet1983]

this reminds me of the scare i had when i returned to the Wii Menu from HBC then the Wii U shutdown as soon as it got to the Wii Menu. It would turn on but sit and do nothing at all. it kept doing this every time i powered it on until i unplugged it for 10 minutes then plugged it back in. its been fine ever since. Both Wii U and WiiMode function. I am not sure if it was a scare tactic or a random bug either.

I got something along those lines shortly after I started using HBC and Gecko OS on my WiiU. It gave message saying system files corrupted while I was in vwii mode. I think it was also after I installed IOS236. I unplugged system, waited bit, restarted and everything seemed fine afterwards.

 

[Whyat]

Wow this was fast I expected and exploit with in 9 months at least. Very nice sir.

 

[lampjese]

There is no exploit yet , maybee it will take month`s.
Nice they are working on it though, can`t wait to hack my wiiu.

 

[muskieratboi]

I have a feeling we have that data already.

but it's useless as is, as it's encrypted.

 

[uyjulian]

yep.

(but if we could overclock the wii U to it's origional speed and enable access to the memory... ya.)

 

[nitrate]

May be it's help. I got from my proxy cache all files that WiiU download's from nintendo servers when it's update from first stock firmware to 2.1.0E *snip*

Do you also have the 2.0.0 Firmware Update as well? I am currently still on 1.0.1 E. I didn't update yet cause of possible exploits...

Anyway - just imagine it would be possible to update (somehow) via USB with one of these firmware files - would 2.0.0 E be required to update from 1.0.1 E to 2.1.0 E? I ask this because i heard that the first firmware update was about 1 gig in file size and people that had defective consoles caused by download issues like canceled / buggy downloads after starting the update...

 

[muskieratboi]

overclock what? original what? memory what?

You are speaking nonsense!

no, my Wii U update only one time to 2.1.0E, it's download ~ 900Mb from the internet. Update time is ~1Hour for me

Please, do not post links to Nintendo's servers files.

 

[nitrate]

This was no link to a nintendo server that DeadMan posted here...

 

[LinkFan16]

This was no link to a nintendo server that DeadMan posted here...

but he posted a link to files that are copyrighted by nintendo, and if one read the rules of this forum, they should know that this is not allowed here.

 

[Cyan]

maybe I didn't write it correctly, it was a package containing files from nintendo's server.
Not a link to the server itself.

Users who want the files can find the link to the server, or use a proxy which list them when updating their console, and download them directly from Nintendo Update Server.
Do not re-host them.
