Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

You guys are horrible. When I get a notification I want it to be an actual question or a notification saying its released.

 

[Aroth]

Yes he did. Did you miss everyone pointing out the white text?

Omg you people.

That does not say "hi I, hykem, and postponing the release until march". It says "my vacation was extended so I have more time to work on it.

In fact he said later that the extention of his vacation does not mean the release was postponed.

Turn 'em off. Don't even expect anything until February anyway.

In a marketing standpoint alone, you better believe it makes a hell of a difference.

So yes, this would be a big part of it.

Marketing doesn't make a console good either

Gotcha! Sorry, I just wanted to annoy everybody a little. I believe it's fair after being called everything around here. "Clown" and "king of vapourware" were top notch, congrats on the insults!
For all the others, rest assured, I'm not rage-quitting nor stopping anything. I ran into personal issues that kept me away from the internet, that's all. You'll still get your exploit as promised. I'm not wasting more time on the possible boot exploit as I've decided to chase that only after releasing what I have. I'm currently working on obfuscating it for which naehrwert gave me some "funky" ideas. It will take some time to implement, but my "vacations" have been extended up to the end of February.
To compensate for the delay, expect some nice things. Check my twitter feed in about 10 minutes to understand what I'm talking about.

Aside from all that, the exploit just needs obfuscation to be released. Like I stated before, the obfuscation layers will be complex which will take time to implement properly. If any delays follow, they will be strictly related to the obfuscation of the exploit.
Also, I mentioned that my "vacations" are extended to the end of February, but that doesn't mean the exploit will only be released by then. I'm guessing it will be done quite before that, but right now it's just a matter of getting it right so Nintendo won't patch it as soon as it comes out.

Now everyone can shut the fuck up about how he said he wasn't releasing until the end of February.

The extended vacation of Hykem doesn't really mean an "extended release" either... Just wait guys, don't freak out lol

March is not the end of February. Do you need a calendar?
He said it was extended to the end of February, retracting his end of Jan. statement/promise/claim/what ever you folks are calling it. Yet 50% of you are going 'midnite releese' 'if it doesnt com out 2morrow ill rage' 'faaaake'

Not by itself, no. However no marketing is a guarantee way of having a shitty console too.

We can debate all day, but tl;dr, there's a million things that make or break a console.

Read my post above yours. He never said he was extending the release window, just that his personal "vacations" that gave him time to work on it were extended. Then less than 24 hours later he clarified that the extension of his vacation did not equal a delay in the release.

Okay.
"It's released"

 

[MRJPGames]

That being said, unless the release is indeed tomorrow I see it as being very likely to be extended to febuary (if only because it cannot be released in january anymore XD)

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

*claps slowly* You figured it out.

 

[Aroth]

Highly doubt we will see it in the next 36 hours of course. But that still doesn't mean "end of february". Tbh I half suspect he actually is done and is just sitting back watching the drama.

What I've been trying to say is that his end of January release...'promise' is no longer accurate. In fact, you're assuming I said that it's a definite end of Feb. when the conversation actually went this way, pay attention.
"He has since changed that till sometime before end of February."
"no, no he didnt."
"Yes he did."
"have been extended up to the end of February." *Notice how I didn't just cherry pick February and leave out the extension part
"In fact he said later that the extention of his vacation does not mean the release was postponed."

And, as I quoted, the VERY NEXT DAY he said that just because his vacation was extended did not mean he was expecting it to take that long to finish the work. That, in fact, he expected it to be done long before then.

Since this whole thread is fine being a mess....i am jumping in.

The WiiU didn't fail because it was less powerful than the ps4/xbox one. It failed because Nintendo failed to provide enough first party support (via games) in the initial 12 month run. Very few people jumped on the WiiU because it looked to be more of the same (a Wii on steroids) and there were no games at launch worth justifying the purchase.

Exactly this. All we had were a bunch of ports and another 2D Mario.

Since no one was buying the console, third party devs took their projects elsewhere.

In my opinion, after seeing what happened to the Wii, Western Third Party devs where going to move their projects somewhere else regardless of the console sales. The Wii U itself and the Nintendo Network are still Alien platforms for most developers, while both MS and Sony got a pretty robust standard in terms of hardware and online services.
Also we got the Casual factor and the fact that most people buying Nintendo consoles are pretty much ignoring third party software nowadays (that applies to the 3DS too) for several reasons that are not worth it to list here now.
Had the Wii U become a success, all we were going to get is another full wave of shovelware, just like it happened on the Wii.

Nintendo's mistake was assuming that their fans would be satisfied with a few mario remakes and a zelda remake for upwards of a year.

It is 2016 and Nintendo is still assuming that , just look at what was and is going to be released. It is really an weird and hard to grasp situation, i see the 3DS getting amazing themes, ports of Wii U heavy hitters like Smash and Hyrule Warriors and amazing pokemon games like X/Y/ORAS/Detective Pikachu, meanwhile the Wii U gets nothing but a like Pokkén. Also more Mario games...

Well, this is going nowhere. My point:
It isn't tomorrow. Just sometime before end of February. That 'end of January' quote is no longer valid.
You freaked out when I quoted him, thinking I meant 'February 29th confirmed!!1'
All you did was repeat yourself when I tried to explain that you missed some context, then took the quote I posted as my own words.
Hence:
"He has since changed that till sometime before end of February."
"no, no he didnt."
"Yes he did." *insert quote*

Also, the console had 0 marketing and it wasn't clear enough for some people what the Wii U really was.
I have friends that play videogames and call themselves "Gamers" that when I said to them that I was going to buy a Wii U in 2015 they were thinking that the Wii U was a Portable console or a Wii Controller.

Basically this x1000. Also check out that article that another user linked me to a few pages back. From the sounds of it developing for the WiiU at launch (and possibly even now) was far worse than any struggles 3rd party developers had with the PS3. Clunky toolchains, slow debuggers, and last minute introductions of half-baked and mostly broken networking code/features were exasperated by a near total lack of real communication and feedback from Nintendo's hardware/software devs in Japan. The author goes as far as to suggest that Nintendo didn't really care about third party support beyond the minor potential to expand the library because they still produce first party titles (something Sony and Microsoft don't really do much of). Basically that Nintendo decided that they would make more/enough money off of first party titles that they didn't need to worry about third party support, which was undercut by their own issues with the very same tools that 3rd party developers were struggling with. This is likely the real reason that we did not see any real new titles for first party IPs like Zelda and Mario.
