Hacking The Definitive Guide to Wii U Hacking

[fiveighteen]

No, i just really suck at this

What website is good for downloading games for the WiiU to use on Loadiine?

It's against forum rules to discuss how to illegally obtain games.

Wow this google machine has so many search results when you search WiiU plus ISO, strange, its like people want to find something they shouldnt.

I feel like the definition of emunand in the OP is reversed. The real nand will be out-of-date and therefore retains the exploit. The emulated nand will be a patched up-to-date version.

@fiveighteen This is true. emuNand is usually updated to whatever the most recent version that works with patches is, while the on-board nand stays at the exploitable firmware and is not updated. The guide kinda says the reverse of this.

Ha, oops! Good points. Thanks for catching that. Good thing it's not out yet or I'd have everyone updated ;P

So if I'm on 5.4.0, is it okay to update to 5.5.0? I mean they both have unreleased exploits....

No. 5.4.0 has a patched Userland Exploit. 5.5.0 has a patched Kernel Exploit. New ones have been found for both, but let's say Nintendo patches the 5.5.0 Kernel Exploit that was found. If you're on 5.4.0, you still have a chance, but if you are on 5.5.0, you're screwed. (This is hypothetical)

Ultimately, the choice is yours, but there is a difference and it is recommended to stay low.

Sorry to hear.

Thanks for reporting though. Please take a moment to put it into the Wii U Serial Number Database so other users can know.

Yeh that's unfortunately, you should still be able to hack 5.4s eventually

Also, do you have to use an sd card atm to run these games, is it not impossible to use a WD/Seagate Hard drive

Yes, it must be from SD until an IOSU exploit comes out.

Alrighty, cannot wait, I personally think WD will be better than Seagate for HD reliability once it does get released

What game are you personally most interested in getting?

I only use WD drives. I even have some that are over 8 years old and still kicking.

Well, you can get games as it is and use them with the SD card, but I'm most interested in a Guitar Hero dump so I can look at trying to bring customs to the new generation.

As far as future games go:
Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories
Star Fox Zero
Zelda HD remakes
The new Zelda, if it doesn't get pushed to the NX.

Most SD cards wont be able to fit those games though, I guess there are 64gb sd cards but yeh they are pricey

Good news! Japanese basic 8 gig wii u comes with 3.1 since they are discontinued! And even better news xenoblade x jap version also updates to 5.3.2! Now just waiting for my sd card so i can try to install the kernels.

I have 9 games that take up 21.2GB of space on a 32GB Sandisk Ultra Plus that I got for $10 on Black Friday. 64GB were $20. Even if you attach a 1TB HDD, you're going to have a tremendous amount of unused space, assuming you'd leave the HDD hooked up to the Wii U 100% of the time.

I dunno, i checked that list and some games are 10 - 20gb each

Im on the lookout for an exploitable wiiu. I came across a 32gb deluxe mario kart console, which appears to me to be ok, serial was this :FAH10145333, I don't see anything close in the list so thoughts on this particular one?
