Hacking So now IOSU is basically confirmed to come out soon...

[moops44]

will we be able to use a gamecube adapter + controller on any games we want once the iosu is released

thats the real question

 

[CJB100]

I absolutely love this.

Am I correct in thinking you are saying my comment is hypocritical? If that is the way your comment is made to be taken, then just check the stickies. As well as countless threads where I have helped people. I don't know how much more obvious or transparent I can be here.

 

[wolf-snake]

Why would you? Most Wii games are shit

 

[CJB100]

???

Yes, conspiracy theory accurately describes your statement. You say I and people like me and Robins and many others, care only about our post counts? I can't speak for anyone else but I could not give a single flying fuck about post count, this is real life. There's no trophy for most bullshit spewed. I post saying these threads already have answers, re-answer directly to the OP, then post that I am the one reporting the thread and why so that the OP does not do it again with any luck, and so that they hopefully do not get bitter due to lack of understanding as to why their topic was closed.

Told ya it'd become a flame war.

@Cyan @raulpica I hate to tag and bother you guys, but can you close this thread, or at least move it to the EOF?

You can do that right now with Loadiine or HIDtoVPad.

On topic:
I hope this time Nintendo doesn't step in (again) and bribe the exploit team to turn down the project (sorry SALT team).
That has been done before by Nintendo with team overflow (sorry I have no sources). So nothing prevents them from doing the same thing again.

 

[QuarkTheAwesome]

sorry I have no sources

Thus, it's even less likely to be true than Hykem's "raid" (which had one source). It'd probably be easier for Nintendo to just do SALT for copyright infringement rather than actually breaking the law.

As for the thread's original question, it's unlikely at best. Wii games had a hell of a lot of funky stuff that they did straight on the hardware (mostly involving SPRs) which means there's no one-size-fits-all "just do graphics better" switch; especially considering that once all is said and done the vWii is a Wii with a fancy bootloader - it's not emulated. The graphics card is the point of contention here; and vWii mode flicks some switches which turns it into an old Wii graphics card, command buffers and all. The old Wii card couldn't do 1080p, neither can the vWii card.

fail0verflow couldn't turn the vWii back into a Wii U, so unless we get some incredibly talented people (if you're a talented person, PM SOMEONE!) the vWii card is likely to stay a vWii card until you boot back into Wii U mode (which can't run Wii games). It's a bit of a catch-22 - 1080p graphics card, or running Wii games.

As for the pseudo-vWii mode that people seem to be hinting at (where you run Wii games in Wii U mode with just enough switches flipped to make it work)... I've got no idea. It'd be a lot of work, but it could be interesting. You'd still have the problem of highly specialised code (that likes to play with SPRs) that's designed to talk to the graphics card it's used to and nothing else (it's like Mac OS's hardware support, but infinitely worse!) Good luck.

Also, people, keep in mind that the IOSU is not the Second Coming, you aren't going to magically turn your Wii U into a computer, and it's not going to affect homebrew much at all. Modding the system stuff, yes, loading and launching, yes, but actual emulators and things won't benefit much (until Linux is ported, at least)

Last but not least can we stop saying the scene is dead? You lot made vgmoose post a song about Johnny Cash cutting himself. Seriously, people.

only one gc controller works for me..
for singleplayer i use pro controller, when it comes to MP only gamepad and pro controller or gc controller work and no third controller

How soon after it comes out will we be able to play Wii games rendered in 1080p, like in Dolphin emulator?

Example:

Yes, you can even put Wii games on the gamepad itself and play on it while you are taking a shower.
Yeah that's right, the iosu hack enables the waterproof function of the gamepad.

You'll actually be able to play all the PS4 & Xbone games aswell.

Have fun.

well "soon" means 3-5 years from now

The hell are you guys talking about? I've been out of the scene for quite some time, but all the IOSU's (there are a lot of them) have been available on NUS since the Wii U was released. It's little more than one version of a Wii U's firmware. Do you mean the key to decrypt them?

They're talking about an exploit.

 

[pietempgba]

yeah

 

[JoostinOnline]

They're talking about an exploit.

Lol an IOSU exploit makes sense, but it's completely different. It's like asking when a console comes out, but meaning when a hard mod will come out.

 

[raulpica]

Speculation is useless - evidence is everything in court! *slams desk*

Seriously, nobody knows, OP. Time will tell, if the IOSU exploit is EVER released.
