Hacking UPDATE 5. >> 3 << .0

[OriginalHamster]

Out of curiosity, what games include the update on disc? I have various Wii U titles and most updates are via online, or not update at all.

Any news of bricked vWii that where unbricked by the update????

One can dream, can't I?

At least, my vWii is still bricked

Actually I'm thinking that the 5.3.0 update isn't in the disk either. I believe on IGN or something, they commented about even though they have the game and all amiibos early they "couldn't use them yet". But this is just guessing of course and just taking from what they said before or maybe I misheard. Either way this is going to be interesting to watch how this all works.

A good question list to consider:
Q: What is in 5.3.0?
A: Amiibo settings/support, among other things
Q: Will Amiibo support be required to play Smash 4?
A: Most Likely.
From this, we can conclude that it is likely that there will be an on-disc update.

It's a well-known fact that Nintendo does hire ninjas to follow our very move Also, that's not surprising, you have to update to gain the online services anyways, but you can't update the game without being on the internet. A vicious cycle, really. No internet no update, no update, no internet.

Well, er, it's a new DLC so you'd need to be on the latest firmware anyway. It's like this on the other consoles too.

Safe to update with softmodded vWii?

vWii will be fine, but the webkit exploit hasn't been ported to 5.3.0 yet, better to not update.

you know this for a fact do you? i bet you $100 it will be on there.

Deal.

Smash has 5.1.2 on it. So where's my money.

No, seriously. I want my money. Now.

Is 5.1.2 really on Smash? I want to be able to play Smash (Don't really care about online play), but also don't want to miss out on potential homebrew...

You'll probably be waiting a while for homebrew and missing out on the game.

I read the thread about the state of homebrew, are you guys going to continue on it? Is homebrew potential still possible now that Kernel exploit is broken on latest FW?

We are continuing, and there's no evidence the kernel bug was actually broken.

Where may I ask does it say or confirmed that it has 5.1.2 on it? And if so, that means I can play the game locally.

I'm on 5.2.0 and have not updated to 5.3.0 yet, nevertheless, being on 5.2.0 is pushing it for sure. Do we have definitive info that the game does have 5.1.2?

 

[Skeet1983]

So, it is safe to update and still get potential homebrew?

I don't know if he's saying that per se, as long as it's not past 5.2.0, there's hope yet, just might take longer. Your best bet is, if you have to update at all, use the SSB disc, which supposedly has 5.1.2. Don't take my word for it though.

Smash U forced update. Update on disc is 5.2.0 U

Smash U forced update. Update on disc is 5.2.0 U

Both good and bad, that would explain why 5.3.0 is required for Amiibo, as they said that it would work with a system update. I'm already on 5.2.0, so I should be fine, but, this is what we all feared, I think..?

never shook on it

plus if you want to use online (and that's everyone) you will be forced to install 5.3 so i'm still right
