Someone already knows but let me explain again: I basically bricked my wii u browser by partially downgrading it (only the mvplayer) and now I'm in a desperate search for any other entry points on my wii u. I was even thinking if it was possible to create a wii u disc with update data (crazy impossible in my opinion). My last though is if it possible to get into homebrew launcher through a qr code
Sorry for my bad english

The wii u makes no use of QR codes, because the only time it uses a camera is in some games or the wii u chat. No is not possible to use qr codes on wii u.
Sorry for my dumbness but I thought that via the mii maker channel on wii u mode, scanning an hacked qr code could make it

Since when can the wii u game pad read qr codes? Is hardly used outside a few games just to show off your face in game or to video chat with it. Is hardly anything worth mentioning like the 3DS camera does.

Apparently someone said something about manipulating crunchy roll ads to trigger homebrew launcher, not sure about anything else like youtube, hulu, amazon prime, etc. Not sure what else to say here, but if you do get homebrew launcher working, make sure you prepare haxchi for it for a more simple solution even at the cost of some money.

Again sorry, it's just that I can't imagine how stupid I am, because I upgraded my wii u with my own spontaneous will and, not happy, I also read wrong a guide downgrading my browser bricking it. The thing that most irritate me is that I know that the only solution is a 5.5.3 upgrade

The only reason the qr thing worked for the 3ds is because an oversight in one particular game allowed for unsigned code to be executed. That's not likely to ever happen again

The chances of a 5.5.3 is possible, but may not happen until november. Even then, is a new update, meaning old exploits will potentially be patched. So unless you find another way to access homebrew loader and install haxchi for insurance with the current firmware, you will update with knowing you must wait for new exploit :unsure:

If you have OTP and SEEPROM dumps, you can install Haxchi. But you don't have them, right?

    Even my mum slept on that uremum
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • 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
