Yea for now i better hope my DNS holds when I get back on to play I hate updates.. I thought Nintendo had finally ditched WiiU, while thats sad its free game for those who still own one, meaning Homebrew etc I am saddened by the lack of much unique homebrew though .. I don't load in backups I have all the games I like on discs ..I hope Nintendo backs off and stops the updates ..

Kinda afraid to plug in my Wii U after just using it the other day. Does the DNS block work 100% still?

The other methods being talked about (spoofing and deleting the update folder seem pretty risky)

if the dns fails or isn't correct, u won't be able to connect to the internet, so you're safe using that regardless of whether it went down or not.

so the people claiming the DNS method isnt blocking the updates are not doing something right then?

never heard of that before. I'm blocking updates with cc proxy. both my wii-u's are grouped together with it. that's y I recommend cc proxy or similar app over these dns servers. as long as your computer is configured correctly and is on, u block updates and u can connect to the internet.

Fuuuuuuu-

I turned off protection a couple of days ago (checking it was safe to do so) but forgot to re-enable it! I got complacent...

Hi. Bit of a newbee here too. I have a ton of games installed on usb hard drive. Successfully blocked the 5.5.2 update, so still on 5.5.1 but I can't seem to be able to play online. I've already tried Smash and Mario Maker and said an update is required. So if I install this Haxchi will i be able to run homebrew from it? What exactly is Haxchi? Is it just like the browser exploit? All I would do before was run mocha cfw so my console is region free and I can run dlc/eshop games. Could I do that with Haxchi?

Thanks for the quick response. I'm assuming all other games that have been installed will work?

Any game that is a digital backup from disc games will work, don't matter if you update to 5.5.2, as i had read about on gbatemp.

I think this is if you're using cfw via browserhax. games that don't require cfw would work regardless.

Since eShop-only games and DLC only works with cfw and they can only be playable after had install them, they won't work on 5.5.2.

Again, that is not my answer, but just what i had read on similiar 5.5.2 threads.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My tip: regasdless from what some peeps are initially saying: just wait (and stay on 5.5.1) until a 100% exact answer that provide full details about 5.5.2 comes.

so i don't have a wii u yet.

if i get one and it's on v5.5.2 i'm screwed till a new exploit is found? if there will be one.

if i get one and it's used and on v5.5.1 or lower i'm screwed because it won't let me use the browser till i update?

great so i can still use the browser. i remember on the wii you couldn't use the shop channel or weather channel until you updated.

edit: oh and facepalm myself. there won't be any new wii u's so all wii u's will be 5.5.1 or lower. it's early in the morning my brain isn't working yet. :)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
