... you can see where I'm going with this.

Credit goes to Wololo.net but maybe this can aid some with Wii U hacking.

"Today, we got some interesting news about a new vulnerability on Webkit of Vita and possibly Playstation 4. Unfortunately it is patched on Vita 3.50 firmware but it is still good news for people on 3.3x firmwares.
It is not unlikely to have code execution from the Webkit exploits on game consoles. There is already several code execution methods through Webkit on 3DS and there is an announced kernel exploit for Wii-U again through Webkit. Of course every handheld/console has a different architecture but Webkit seems to have a great potential for exploiting current generation handhelds/consoles.
It has been about 6 months since we first heard about awebkit exploit for Vita. After that we have seen several applications of it, like the Pong and the Package Installer for webkit. Also there is a lot of progress through Vitasploit. Unfortunately, this webkit vulnerability was patched on 3.30 Vita firmware and 2.00 Playstation 4 firmware.

This new vulnerability works on Vita 3.3x firmwares and possibly on Playstation 4 firmwares up to 2.50, though this exploit on Playstation 4 has not yet been confirmed. Its CVE ID is CVE-2014-1303. Initially discovered by Liang Chen of Keen Team, the exploit has been ported to the Vita by hackerxyz. It is great that now 3.3x Vita firmware users will have a chance too if a native Vita hack arises from Webkit exploits.

Here is the Vitasploit ported to this vulnerability for 3.36 firmwares. Expect to see it added to the official repo soon. It will probably be ported to other 3.3x firmwares too.
Source xyz on /talk you’ll find more info and can say thanks directly to the man."

Oh boy. Another webkit exploit that likely won't go anywhere. Prepare the totally unenthusiastic hype train.

Eh, it's still good to see and possibly utilize.

Although, Xplic1T, even though this is public news, this probably should have gone straight to either Marionumber1 or Hykem to control possible hyperbolization

Just thought it could be useful since Nintendo hasn't done an update on the Wii U since December ... this could/should work under 5.3.2

    How do you know if the night will be good when you're asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    because i didn't say i was asleep
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    i said i was sleeping...
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    sleeping with uremum
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    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)
    Karma177 @ Karma177: @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really...
