Hacking Mathew_Wi said: Update to 5.5.1 while you can

[piratesephiroth]

They knew because I think at least one of they thechnician or other check on wiiubrew :

http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Exploits

If they're any clever they'll just wait until some kind person gives them the exploit source code in a silver plate before paying any engineers to figure out the flaws.

He also implies that they have already exploited IOSU below 5.5 to be able to state how it differs.

If you had any idea about the scene or technicalities of this, you would see that your quote above makes NO SENSE. You are arguing semantics about a subject you have no detailed knowledge about. As such, if you can't understand how the subject works, how can you possibly understand the meaning behind a post? Its like someone who's just learning to speak English trying to give English lessons. Just because you know a few words doesn't mean you know everything...

Any ideas how long it will be safe to update? Bought a new WiiU and it could take a while before it will be here.. Aaaand who knews? The last update was juli or something like that.

There's no way to know. Nintendo could release an update any day. There should be one soon since it's been at least 6 months since the last update.

Personally, I check WiiUmpersonator.

Check the latest update date, 12 January for EUR in my case, so it is safe. If that date changes to today or tomorrow, you are out of luck and shouldn't attempt to update.

Unless someone confirms it's safe and Nintendo didn't hide a bomb to blew us all.[emoji14]

 

[Fjar]

Well, i update my Wii U, after all: why not? i hope the release (if it finally happens)

 

[TrulyMadlyDeeply]

Hopefully they release it soon or provide an eta. A donation link would also be nice for people who wish to make a donation towards their hard work and effort in completing the IOSU hack.

 

[AboodXD]

An ETA will be a bad idea, remember Hykem?

Nice roast.[emoji14]

 

[TrulyMadlyDeeply]

Yeah, didn't turn out so well with Hykem's planned release date. At least he tried, but we don't know what hampered his release...

 

[AboodXD]

He was in a big legal problem, that's why.

 

[piratesephiroth]

He didn't explain what the legal problem was directly related to, though. I don't think it was Nintendo.
But I think it was indeed related to hacking and security because he quit the scene.

Excited.
I have two Wii U units; My main one that is updated to 5.5.1 for now, and my 2nd one that was at 5.3 when I got it used (I bought it solely because it was easier way to replace a broken gamepad in Finland, since Nintendo support, etc. is abysmal here.)

Should I keep my 5.3, which now, by all purposes is THE hacked console, while I use my 5.5 system as the legit one, bought few games for it, play my disc games on it, has my eShop etc.


Excited, and if this finally is THE time, thankful. Like seriously I been waiting for this after seeing what 3DS went through since the first downgrade and it has been a wild and fun ride.

I have 2 wii u unit as well , intended to use one for legit and online games and the other for hack , I updated both of them to 5.5.1 today, since this firmware is hackable why not updating both. If a new firmware emerge , I will update only one of them to the newest firmware

Yeah, for now I blocked updates on my "legit" Wii U too. Updating the 5.3 too. It was easier to host for 5.3 but now it seems there is some good AIO packages.

I have a setup for my self hosting with forwarding so I can even leave the server running home, pack my Wii U and go over to somewhere, and connect to my server with my phone and play some good games, like Puyo Puyo tetris!

I am excited if this finally gives access to using External HDD's as I have quite a few searching for purpose.

Yeah , I hope that too since loadiine is not compatible and has some issues with a lot of games

Well, for what Loadiine does, it is AMAZING, do not get me wrong. It is piece of software working under severe limitation of Kernel only without IOSU access. SD Access is all it can do; but still that also hinders usability for many. SD cards where I live are pricey. I swapped one of my 32 gig cards from PSP to use with Wii U, while I use 8 or 16 gigs on my PSP now. 32 gigs is huge for 3DS, but on Wii U I have to constantly swap out games I want to play. SD cards for Wii U is just too small and HDD usability of any kind would be welcome.

Since i don't know much about Wii/WiiU, will it be possible to play online with backups with the coming exploit?

It's possible but all the information here is rumors. Just wait and see.
