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

[zongalito]

i hope the google drive folder gets updated because we need more games for USA
like splatoon, pokken, mario maker, just dance, etcetera
and i hope there is a way to install dlc with this too

Can someone summarize in details what they modified to make games installable like this please ?

1) These are completely legitimate NUS downloads. No reason to download from google links, just get them directly off NUS. 2) The ticket is from WUD as expected, with SMALL modification: Changing the signature type from 0x030004 to 0x010004 changes the signature itself by a SINGLE BYTE. This is really pretty genius (on the hacker's part). This will only work with games that have WUD releases as of yet and it will only work with games, not DLC

-download game off NUS
-extract .tik from WUD
-modify 2 bytes of .tik
-install with non-whitelist wupinstaller

 

[KungFuzion]

is everyone using the wupinstaller mod?

 

[pwnsweet]

I have many Wii U game discs that I would like to install to USB. Is it possible yet to rip my discs and install them? We have shitty internet in Australia so I'd rather not spend several days downloading games that I already own.

I wonder if modifying the wupinstaller to install Wuds right insinde the internal HDD directly would cause any issues , hmm.

 

[Rob Blou]

Well it took the right mind to realize the signature changed so little
I think it's a serious security vulnerability that no one would have possibly imagined

Thanks for sharing this man! Could you do a tutorial on how to do it please?

 

[toto9992]

They literally changed ONE byte

Wow ok, thanks.

homebrew launcher would have to be able to read from hdd so not possible.

nice to see you again
If my download wouldn't so slow I would have tested with another WUD like Zelda or something.

how come we are able to install wud files right inside the system then ?

The homebrew launcher is reading the sd while the mod is reading hdd.
