Hacking how is the hacking of the wii u going?

[cearp]

not to further depress you, but the Wii U drive is simply incapable of reading a burned disk format.

how come? so even if in the future some hack/modchip was released, we could not play burnt games?

He is referring to the disks being custom/modified versions of blurays, that we can't burn.

but wasn't this the same with gamecube and with wii? and dreamcast? sure they are different consoles but they all had 'non standard' disks right?

i mean, i just wanted to know if he was being negative, like people used to say that there will never be usb gamecube loading on wii etc, or if it is actually impossible that burned disks cannot be read (as in, the laser can only physically read the special disks made by nintendo etc, and nothing else)

Later versions of the Wii were also incapable of reading burned disks no matter how much you modded them. Putting a burned disk or even a retail DVD or DVD-ROM in the drive it's the same as putting a circular piece of cardboard in. The drive just has no idea what to do with it.

oh yeah, i forgot about that that it was the fact that nintendo let the possibility of dvd playing in the wii, which was used to get the burnt disk to load, or something like that, adn then they removed that later on.

but still, it is confirmed that the wiiu cannot/will not be able to load burnt disks, just like the newer wiis cannot?

good, it'll keep me from finding random disks around my house if this stays true to the wii-u. you can get a 4tb hdd for $180 and have the entire wii-u game collection in the palm of your hands.

Bumping this thread because Wiikey just posted this to their news:

2013-07-15: Wiikey U update

Its been a while and we have been hard at work at the Wiikey U hardware. WiiU encrypts the data sent from the drive with AES-CBC-128. We have now fully integrated an AES core into the FPGA and it is operating at the same speed as the drive. We've had a setback with another component though, and we are now testing alternatives. Hopefully we will have another update in a few more weeks.

Just two more weeks™

At least they updated us with new news..too bad about the setback, I wonder what it involves..at least they are making progress

its Nothing Big!!!

 

[calmwaters]

Yes it does. I need my money to buy games like MarioKart, and Super Luigi U. I don't have money to buy games like Jeopardy and NBA2k13. And how are you supposed to try out new games if they don't have a demo? Most games don't have demos. So if a third party game comes out that I've never player before, how do I know if it's worth it?

You try them out by buying them; but now, you should be able to determine what games are crap and what ones are worth getting. They don't make games like they used to anymore, so now you've got to pick through them.

Why are people talking about the wiiu's dvd drive? Usbloaders are the way to go anyway...

 

[Yepi69]

This is so typical, why new members only make threads asking about hacks either on the 3DS or Wii U?
For fuck sake the Wii U only has a few months on this world and you're already asking for Wii U hacks? Go buy the games yourself.

''so you don't have to use v-wii and use burned discs.''

?
who are you to tell people this? why visit the hacking section? why even visit gbatemp? this place used to live and breathe piracy before you even joined
so please stop trying to tell others (especially in the hacking section) how they should or shouldn't feel about piracy.we can decide for ourselves.

''so you don't have to use v-wii and use burned discs.''

and no, this is about an ODE to run wiiu backups.

Because a USB loader would restore require the OS to be modified, you know, softmodded, which hasn't publicly happened.

EDIT: Dumb word.

You mean the setback is nothing big or the progress is nothing big?
How close do you think they are to actually releasing this thing..a Wii U update came out a few days ago was going to update it..guess this device has nothing to do with updating it

Quick Question about the Wiikey U, does it replace the Disc drive or does it work along side with it?

Hacking is coming along, albeit slowly, but steady. It will happen, we just need to sit tight it all
