Hacking Mario Kart 8 Mods

[Ryanrocks462]

The plan is that once a kernel/loader/IOSU exploit is found, it'll be obsfucated so nobody'll be able to use it for anything other then we allow, preventing piracy and cheating.

What!!!!!!! i support ''no cheating'' but why prevent the exploit for piracy!

Terrific, have fun, lol :-) Good luck. On point, how much will this cost?

Because nobody on our team or Chadderz's team supports piracy.

As Stated by Chadderz during todays live stream, ''In mario Kart 8's files , Their is 16 place holders with the name cupicondlc01 cupicondlc02 etc'' ...This may be a hint for DLC cups in Mario Kart 8

Good plan, but I expect someone will work through the obfuscation eventually. Hackers like a challenge, even those from other hackers!

Well, wiimms already reverse engineered CTGPR so someone can probably break the obfuscation.

On the 3DS side, devs also decrypted and deobfuscated the GW launcher. So given enough interest it's possible.

That's fucking stupid.

--- Should I just update my Wii U now so I don't have to be disappointed?

lol, just ignore those silly attention seeking pseudo-hackers and wait until actual hackers figure it out.

We are the real hackers, we're the ones who started it (since nobody cared until we got the bootrom and a browser exploit) and we're gonna finish it.

Meybe, maybe not. You can never rule out the possibility that there's someone else out there that is much further into hacking Wii U than you are.

Yeah I'm just going to work with what I have until something better comes along, good advice.

It is pretty pathetic how disrespectful people are.
If you want warez, go buy a loader (if one is ever released) You are getting this for free (i'm assuming) and you should be happy with whatever you get. How can you be mad at someone who creating their own code so it won't allow cheats (which will lead to cheating online) and warez. Unless you want to be the person who cheats online, and if it is ever figured out I hope Nintendo perma bans all of you.

Keep up the good work NWPlayer123 and the rest of you. Even though I updated my Wii U, I look forward to your progress.

It's not even the cheats and piracy I'm worried about losing as much, it's that the point of this type of hacking is to tear down walls, to enable freedom.

Instead we'll potentially still be stuck with chained-down consoles. It's kinda like what's happening on the 3DS scene, except the dirty pirates are actually the good guys in this case and are allowing full access to the system with Homebrew. Unfortunate, right?

Will this obsfucation prevent people from developing other homebrew for the console?

 

[Marionumber1]

No, but the homebrew will be limited to userspace only.

 

[unvaluablespace]

No, but the homebrew will be limited to userspace only.

as someone who doesn't fully understand what userspace means exactly, what does that specify for homebrew? for example, what sort of hacks/mods/homebrew will be able to be created, and what wont? like, will there be emulators, but not themes for your wii u menu?

You can make a nice text editor, maybe a photo or media viewer. If anti-piracy measures are in play, emulators probably won't be possible. Emulators will be possible, I'm just exaggerating.

Hacking? Modding? Ha, that's a nice joke.

 

[TheLoneWolfe]

No, but the homebrew will be limited to userspace only.

Well that's certainly disappointing. I do look forward to whatever you guys end up doing, though.

 

[FusionGamer]

This seriously sucks! I was looking forward to this exploit

If I want to backup my Wii U games, so be it. If I want to play retro games that I legally dumped with Retrode, so be it. You're going down a slippery slope that will turn you into control freaks. Sorry, but now I'm rooting for those awful, nasty, freedom loving pirates you hate so much.
