Hacking Webhack on 5.5.2 (JsTypeHax)

[Cyan]

Hum... here it comes a noob question: how do I exactly use it?

NOTE : It's still in beta test. a website is used for beta testing : http://u.drg.li/

When it will be stable, here is the tutorial to follow :

1. Extract the homebrew launcher 1.4 on your SD card.
sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf

2. Find a web host or create your own
visit a website hosting it, like https://fordlae.github.io/ffhax/, http://wiiu.insanenutter.com, or loadiine.ovh soon
or host the sources on your computer.
If it's on your computer, you need python installed, and launch "startServer.bat" on windows, or use any other webserver you want.

3. Run the browser hack on WiiU
Open the server's URL in your browser. (your computer's IP or the web host)
select Exploit
if it freezes, shutdown and try step 3 again, many times.

if it works, use that opportunity to install haxchi, it will be more stable.

4. update the hack
it's currently in development for stability, you might already have an outdated version. Check the "commits" number to know if it has been updated since your last check.
either the website or your own files hosted on your computer are old.
Try step 2 again.

Hum... here it comes a noob question: how do I exactly use it?

For now, you have to host the html file on your PC (or Mac, I dunno how well that would work) and connect to it with your Wii U

Copy the homebrew launcher on your SD card. (sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf)
open the URL in your browser.
if it freezes, shutdown and try again, many times.

if it works, use that opportunity to install haxchi, it will be more stable.

This is it !

I added more detailed steps, like python requirement if you host it, or any working web host URL.

if that's all fine, I should copy it to the first post.
after confirmation from users it might get portal news
(never wrote one)

does it have a name other than WiiUtest?

Yep! It might not work, I haven't configured it really but oh well. I guess this is what we should use until Loadiine gets it.

Thanks for your answer. I'm on 5.5.1 but a friend is on 5.5.2 and doesn't have haxchi, so I'll try to help him. But only next week, because I'm working now.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Another question: the process to install Haxchi still the same? I mean, the game "compatibility" list has changed?

Tried several times on my 5.5.2; so far no luck (just hang). Still trying ^^

with the old browser hack, I sometime had to run it 20 times in a row. it got irritating.
like I said above, hosting it gave me better result, almost working 100% now. I don't know if local hosting this one will help too.
clear your cache/cookies/all data. shut down, reboot, try again, etc.

I wait for user's confirmation.

Does your screen become white ?
If not, you have to change the value delta in the code.

Yeah same story here, and when it loaded sometimes you had the SDcard issue ^^

Can anyone with a 5.5.2 Wii U visit: http://wiiu.insanenutter.com/useragent.html and tell me the useragent so I can update my mirror?

OK

New URL! https://dlae.life (it looks cleaner, and if this URL doesn't even load just use https://fordlae.github.io/ffhax)

how to you determine deltas ?
should users report it to improve it? maybe we should wait until it's posted to portal or you'll get a lot more questions to reply to.

did you give it a name yet, or just 5.5.2 browserhack?

 

[macphistoo]

No, just hang loading the webpage.

Nope just hang no white screen like the old hax.

I let you choose the name

More we have delta, more the exploit will be stable.


One solution to stability issue, is to use a 8K payload, so a custom elf loader and no HBL

At the beginning of the wii u scene I used to use the KWS app for android to host the exploits, it was much easier and practical and it worked very well.
I'm with haxchi but this thing worth a try when I come home.​
