Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[josh87402]

Question (dirty piracy incoming)
Will I be able to get eShop games' files too? Just like backups? Like what happened before with Wii (wads)?

When Hykem said this "In case you were afraid to deduce it from the screen I posted, yes, the hack works up to 5.5.1. However, I strongly recommend everyone to start blocking updates." (https://gbatemp.net/posts/5989199/), does it mean we can all safely update to 5.5.1?

Well, If you want maybe update it, but we are still not sure whether or not it is safe to install the update since there could be some dirty back-end stuff Nintendo is doing to prevent the exploit from working on 5.5.1 I'd suggest you wait... Maybe a bit more.

Checking GBATemp for any interesting updates on this thread...

yeap... same stupid crap as usual

Next time I'll try to remember I have to please the "ONE" the "ONLY" Mich before I post anything on gbatemp. but this Mich might be just a little older or the same age as my kids. which would be kinda weird....

I only buy hardware after it's been opened up. I'd be willing to bet not everyone here in this thread only cares about free games.

Still waiting for the Wii U to be the best HTPC on the market

I may not understand this correctly but someone will come shit on me if im wrong. I believe that with basically all of the keys out now. We should be able to run full game files. Im kinda hoping we can download them with something like nusgrabber and then do whatever shit we gotta do with the keys (or some sort of sig patched cfw) and then install it with an installer homebrew and boom. word.

I'm sure the exploit will open up a bunch of possibilities (not only for piracy, which can't be stopped ) but also for a bunch of Multimedia homebrew that will let you to play entire movies/music connecting a USB drive/SD Card! Also including the fact that there might be some preety cool homebrew to mess around games with. There's a bright future ahead for this already preety much slowly decaying console.

I mean like with Wii, you went to some shady-looking website to grab some WAD files, and then using Wad Manager you can install/uninstall anything you crammed into the system.

Yeah that would work for me too, I was just thinking it might be like that psn program for downloading shit off psn for ps3. (PKG Downloader I think? I can't remember :/)

 

[josh87402]

I wonder what might be the procedure to install the exploit, that has me scratching my head since it was announced...

 

[DarkJediRey]

you can already grab full games from nusgrabber, but you need the ticket that is specific to the version and your console when you purchase in the eshop. basically, you just have a bunch of encrypted files without the right ticket to decrypt them

*notice how i said "purchase"...the last thing this thread needs is more talk of piracy

Super mega speculation here. but you probably launch some sort of exploit through the web browser and maybe then launch mii maker or something like laodiine but instead of loading games it loads like a hack installer or something. idfk lol

I don't know either, what I'm scared of is if the procedure is super complicated tho, hope it's just, grab an sd card, copy a bunch of files, insert it on your wiiu and the rest goes on.

I can't really think of any hack for any system that was a lot more than that.

Sometimes it requires certain games, but I think we're past that point for Wii U.

Most definitely.

Code tends to handle most of the process. Launching it is the fun part. If there is a boot exploit it would require some additional setup, same with emunand if it happens.

 

[Don Jon]

hope it requires ssb4
and all the little pissties have to run to amazon or wal mart and purchase it
LMAO

Today I have seen a dream where iosu exploit has been released.

I wonder if the wii u will be able to play blu ray with this exploit. Would love to turn it into a home theater system.

HAHAHA! I have to say that was good for a laugh. Considering the Wii U only has a DVD Drive. Reading BluRay Discs will not be possible. But I suppose someone could write media player software for the Wii U that adds support for a portable USB BluRay drive.
