Hacking Update 5.2.0 is Out!

[VinsCool]

Sadly, you'd be surprised at how many ppl still have no idea about Wii hacking

poor them So much potential not used.

People are wise to be cautions before installing any updates, in fairness.

Was gonna update but just wanted to be sure of something. I have an external hard drive connected to the Wii U(It only has 1 game on it right now, my Wii U is NOT hacked) was wondering, do I have to keep the external drive disconnected as Im updating the firmware then I can connect it again once its completed?

goes on more but im tired. I just had that part in mind with them saying if u modify it, the system will be unplayable, not "might be" or "could make it" Just struck my attention.


Also NWPlayer123 It is Mozilla/5.0(Nintendo WiiU) AppleWebKit/536.28(KHTML, like Gecko) NX/3.0.3.12.14 NintendoBrowser/3.1.1.9577.US

Is what I am getting from whatsmyagent.com


Edit: They also turn back on your standby and quick start by default when you update.

Its just a warning to scare off people from potentially hacking/breaking the system. Plus, alot of the time EULAs dont hold up in court anyway, theyre just scare tactics

That is not new. Even in gamecube era they were trying to scare us.

 

[Rob Blou]

It's probably downloaded and installing already on my Wii U. However, I've actually found a massive flaw with the Quick Start menu that I hope they address. You can usually hold the B button to boot straight into vWii, however, you can't do that as effectively if Quick Start is enabled. I hope that they add a button to boot directly into vWii from the Quick Start menu or something. The only way to work around it is to turn on the console first, then hold B on the gamepad until it's turned on, which is a bit of a pain.

you can always start the console and hold B on a wiimote instead and it will work as usual

 

[the_randomizer]

So, does anyone know what the full effects are yet? And EULAs/TOSes won't hold up in any court.

 

[A Plus Ric]

I figured, but usually the scare comes with a possibly or a "might make it unplayable" this just seems to me they are trying to reserve the right to shutoff your WiiU from working if they so choose with their rights. There was also an online user agreement too but i got bored and lazy as I said.

Implying people actually read those.

One of the most used lie in the world: "I read and understand the user manual"

I always read the manual, its the best way to learn what to do

 

[gudenau]

My guess for the vWii update is just somthing silly, the gcn controller support should not need a vWii update from what I know.

 

[VinsCool]

I was saying that about user agreement on most software/console/update setting up

 

[the_randomizer]

So, no one knows, at all, what the changes really were? Should we be worried?

In WiiU mode, Yes we are! That's why I didn't updated since 5.1.0, the latest version supporting browser exploit.
In vWii mode, several people confirmed that update didn't affect the vWii hack.

Many devs told me that 5.1.2 is safe, which I'm on, I simply don't want another BS 5.x.x only hack scenario, that's all. There are still bugs in the webkit, Nintendo will most likely never patch it completely. I go by their words, however.

I always considering having to read the manual to figure something out as an unacceptable perosnal failure

If they said 5.1.2 is safe, that is a good thing, after all they know what they does. Whatever, I stay on 5.1.0 just in case.

Oh, ok. I see how it is. Warning: Big Image
