Hacking SPECULATION: A strategy to load games off USB! (No loader)

[Corredor]

You can, you can split an HDD in parts each formatted in their own way.

No, you can't. Wii U needs a drive with a specific partition table. The whole drive must be modified (partition table), not just some of its "parts" (partition).

That's why we need a program like wiibackupmanager so we can use the same drive shared with vwii games.

If that's what you want, then you need to add USB support to Loadiine.

Other than that, you must format the HDD.

AFAIK you only can have USB access through IOSU... no idea how they went that far then.

Isn't that what I said?

@dimok is this possibble if you know the source code for this?

 

[AboodXD]

You can edit the hdd in a hex editor if you dont mess up too much...

But that seems like a dumb way to do it...

 

[Viri]

G-get hyped? Also, it's nice to know that I can buy an external hard drive for about the same price as a brand new Wii-U game, and fit pretty much all the good non shovel ware games on it. At the same time, that's kinda sad.

You just missed the point is all.


Anyway, have fun guys.

That would need linux anyway.

I'm not aware of a way to hex edit a filesystem in Windows.

Idk, but I think we need to modify Wii U system (just like cIOS on Wii) to be able to use drives with a different partition table.

Source code of what? They didn't use homebrew to do this...

Unless you count WUP Installer...

LOL

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

LOL

What's so funny about it?
Did I misunderstand something?
Then correct me instead of laughing...

I think he was laughing because you didn't know about the various hex editing programs for windows.

@leonmagnus99 No need to release anything because IOSU exploit was already released. (somewhere, search for it)
It's the tools that we're lacking, I'll not make a move because Team SALT has already did.

Guys, calm down. I made this thread to inspire some specific people so they could turn this strategy into reality.


It does.
It's a bummer I know, that you can't have all games in one USB. ;(

Excuse me, we're inserting a official game, it WILL pass the checks because it's SIGNED. (Games are signed, homebrews aren't!)

I think only WUD, I don't think the Wii U actually expects a WUX coming...

@Reecey blame the one who started the offtopicness.

Also @King Cerelepe, since you're releasing anyway, can you tell me what exactly did you do? I'm kinda curious... I'm sure it's a hacky way!
If you don't want any information to go public before the release, feel free to send me a PM.

I will blame you for everything Abood, if we don't get USB access to run LOZTPrincessHD properly without waiting ten years to load the next screen or if we cant have rednand or maybe something like A9LH, yes just about everything, is that ok with you? no just joking bro, you know that! I'm only adding to the excitement for the thread, stirring the shit etc..

Edit: I promise to the staff I will zip it from now on! well in this thread anyway, pinky swear

 

[piratesephiroth]

yeah even HxD is able to open disks

 

[AboodXD]

Oh wow...
(Wasn't even aware of that, because that didn't concern me anyway )

If hykem only gave his IOSU when he announced it. Maybe just maybe may the wii u scene would have been active.

Hykem is dead to us, only BRs, Hillary and Trump now!
