Hi,
I've just spoofed to 5.5.1 my 5.3.2 WiiU.
I was quite sure to avoid all console updates requests when I put a disc..
But when I try to play to Super Mario Maker, it asks me to update the console (not the game) !
I thaught that the game was under 5.4.0 ??

Did I install the spoof in a bad way ?
What's happening ? :)

Thanx in advance for your help !

If your firmware is 5.5.1 in the settings menu then you're not getting a system update.

@Kafluke thank you very much for your help... In fact I have a partial update downloaded in the data management that I can't delete.
After asking google, I have formatted my WiiU. The partial update disappeared, but I have not the time to set the tubehax dsn that the update appears... It can't go to the end thanks to the tubehax dns but it makes me games to ask an update that I have to refuse before being able to play.

Any idea to avoid this partial download or to delete it without formatting ?

Thanx in advance for your help :)

If your games are asking to update and your system says 5.5.1 in the settings menu then it's a game update not a system update. You can either keep skipping the menu and play anyway or use WUP Installer and new-nusgrabber gui to update the game. Let me know if you need help with that.

Also there is a partial update remover app (search for it) if you cannot delete inside of data management

@Kafluke
oh very interesting, the app ! I have to find it :) And it is really a console update. The message (in french) says something like "In order to load the game update, do you want to update the console ?". A very clear message :)
I will try tomorrow to delete the partial update, and then download the update of Mario Maker and Mario Kart 8.
I never did this ! I will try by myself, and if I have problems, I will ask here ! Thanks again Kafluke for your precious help, it is really apreciated...

  • 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
