HBC release for WiiU

[Maxternal]

Both the installer and the HBC seem to be very buggy, at least on the Wii. First it told me I could only install Bootmii as IOS (which isn't true), then only offered to install it as boot2. After updating the HBC, I went back to find that about 3/4 of my icons would not show up.

Is it this buggy on the Wii as well? I'm wondering if I should update or not.

Have you reported your issues somewhere that TT will actually see it? (e.g. HackMii blog, the bug tracker: http://bugs.hackmii.com/index.php?project=6 [although I dunno if they still look at that or not] etc.) They probably won't see it here.

I reported them at the blog post (comment is awaiting moderation), because the bug tracker seems to have been abandoned. I never received a reply or confirmation for the v1.1.0 bug I reported months ago.

lol I can't wait till this thing is fully hacked great job though.

Hope they've reworked their "anti reverse engineering" stuff for this version since it looks like Ninty broke through their last version. I don't want them to have to rework this thing every time Ninty updates their software.

no fking way, cool, any guinea pigs?

I think that is always going to be the case; look how it is on the 3ds, it's a cat and mouse game for nintendo and the hackers, expect to be updating the homebrew channel frequently from here on out.

dhewg has identified the issue with icons (as in, where the bug arose from), I'd say that'll be fixed in the next release. There are also some display issues which will also be fixed for the next release.

As for only offering to install as boot2: is that not right? I thought recent versions of HackMii Installer automatically install BootMii IOS, and thus it doesn't give you the option to install it (only to uninstall it and to prepare the SD card, I think). Although it's been a while since I ran the installer, so I may be remembering that wrong.

HBC has never done anything but load homebrew. And it never will (it certainly won't become a warez loader).

It already is an indirect warez loader.

you've got to be fucking kidding me, I might have to invest in a wiiU soon

the Wii is also already an indirect Warez loader, it allow users to do so.
Warez is not the subject here.

I know, he responded to my report on HackMii.

No, up until now you have been able to manage both versions.

Very nice to hear news about this, but I will wait a bit longer before I de-virginize my Wii U's Wii mode.

 

[Midna]

I'm not doing this. I'll stick with Smash Stack and homebrew emulators.

 

[Strength]

now let's wait, how long until nintendo starts fighting back?

Isn't there a high risk of bricking?

I don't see how. Where did you hear that?

well they way they fought back with the wii so no problem

 

[the_randomizer]

Nowhere, just assumed as usual. As long as the menu doesn't delete the HBC every time I load it, I'll be happy. The next step is USB loading, which won't happen I'm sure.

Dang, and I don't have smash brothers handy, it's 3 hours away right now. Awesome news though, I do love my emulators.

No you wouldn't, seeing as it's not possible atm.
