Hacking Where do I start with homebrewing?

[YugamiSekai]

Like the 3DS has Gateway, and the Wii has the Homebrew Channel, where do I start with homebrewing? Do I have to learn C++, C#, etc. or is it more complex then that. I want to help with homebrewing the Wii U.

.. and, anyways, yes. you should know something about C and other standart programming languages
even the knowledge of the Wii SDK shouldnt hurt..

so lookout for the SDK, and check if youre able to understand whats inside

low level programming and chipset knowledge (registers, ASM, etc.) is probably needed at the current state of WiiU homebrew.

I have done it. I found 2 torrents. 1 with Wii, Wii U, and DS, and the Revolution SDK. Homebrew here I come! And BTW, there is documentation in there.

Sorry, but there is no native Wii U homebrew yet (well there is a browser exploit, but I don't think any documentation on how to code for that exists, and it only works on FW versions < 5.2.0). You can use Wii homebrew through the virtual Wii mode however.

The wiiu-userspace does contain documentation on how to set up the environment. You can use any language that compiles down to baremetal code, but C is recommended. As for what you can do in the browser environment, a lot more than it would seem, there's still a lot to discover in userspace. We loosely document that stuff in Wii U Hacking Discussion.
