Hacking Is Wii U use AIX and Workload Partitioning (WPAR)?

[kalimergo]

The best way to understand how the wii u works is to know the format of their partitions. I'm not sure about this but i see "Checks CPU status register WPAR, which indicates if partial contents are present" in cafe sdk.

a link about this:

sorry for my poor english....

Interesting... in AIX you have System and Application WPAR's. I thought this was generally used to offload running jobs onto another machine, think load balancing?
But, I could see how Ninty would wrap their applications in WPAR to support their games.

Unfortunately, knowing how it works doesn't magically decrypt the filesystems for you.

You also need to know what are the keys to decrypt HDD.
I don't know what filesystem the Wii U uses but you need decryption keys,

Or just need the Workload Partition manager to copy them in aix environment.

if A game = A wpar with a different crypt key = maybe hdd not crypt, only wpar are.

i try cygwin with usb key (formated with wii u) but access denied
