Hacking Hykem's 5.5 iosu Exploit

[ArceusMI]

I really think that accounts with under 100 posts shouldnt be allowed into this thread.
Hey Zander, I dont know what the hell you are on about but yes sure. Ill take what you are having.

Sorry for late post on this one, but if you look earlier into the thread there was actually some meaningful conversation here, especially from me, a new user here. I just recently decided to make an account, and I'm not of the idiotic mindset of the majority of new users here are. There are actually quite a few people like me, in that we can actually be intelligent.

Humble much?

Not trying to say I'm amazing, just kinda using my earlier posts as an example. Sorry if that came out the wrong way.

It's fine with me, I see you were just disagreeing with Megaman which I'm all for.

 

[Chuardo]

figured as much, but would it be faster than loading the disc?

You can see right now how eShop Digital titles are faster on USB than on a retail disc.

Or even better...

Alright than. Sorry for missinformation, but please lighten up a bit? <3

Youre fuelling the fire by making shit up, then you tell people to chill out when they call you out?
What is your problem, stop spreading misinformation

SSD speed is insane :o

Yeah it is, honestly I would rather have speed over space for my Wii U. Don't see how I would fill a 1TB drive for it anyways.

@Krak-ON Thanx, I was looking for something like this (wrong places)

Was just curious.
I keep all my games in the cases nice and pristine - kinda pain in the butt having to swap disks and putting everything back nice and neat so they don't get any scratches.

How long do SSDs last, i'm not sure if I should buy one

It really depends on the SDD you buy, but I know the newer ones using 3D NAND are supposed to last a lot longer.
Also if its only being used for a Wii U, you're really only going to be reading from it most of the time. Writing is what really hurts an SSD's life.

EDIT:

Heres a link to the life expectancy of Samsung EVO 850 SSD's

So a 120GB variant would last 23 years, if you consistently wrote 20GB a day.

My primary SSD is 1 year old already, and still blazing fast

Its unlikely you will have issues with an SSD in a PC over its ~3 year lifespan. Its been several years since write limits on SSDs were a practical concern for most users.

For something like ISO loading you basically shouldn't have issues at all. SSDs are primarily write limited not read, so unless you're continuously writing files to it, it should last ages.

That of course assumes the system you're using has proper support for SSDs (trim etc) though.

Should I gather Wii U games(dumped)as wud files? Or is there another format I'm unaware of? I'm terribly new to the Wii U USB loading scene, but I'm very well versed with the wii's USB loaders if that helps any. Those .wud files are terribly large-and get this-they're all the exact same size(23.3 GB)! Something's fishy...
Anyway, what format to dump 'em in?

 

[shaneod]

That's because you need to compress them.

Remember that trim for ssd are very important, no matter what, also the spawn for the data. SAMSUNG EVO are far the best SDD on market.

3 year lifespan? thats short, so SSDs still dont last as long as HDDs?

Thanks! Compressing my files as I write this post

A USB Loader is, I guarantee, one of the first things that will be developed for the IOSU exploit just due to the sheer demand.

WUD is the format for scene releases.

SSDs are pretty good nowadays but they're still expensive and don't come in big capacities like regular HDDs.
