Well, after this giant flamewar with everyone getting all freaked out about piracy, maybe I should set things straight.
Basically this, the Boot ROM literally does NOTHING right now, we just need it to figure out where the keys are so we can get them and finally decrypt stuff. Only then will we be able to exploit it fully and start working on something to support homebrew. And if you want to take it from us, we have every means to limit piracy while still allowing a homebrew platform, we don't like it anymore then you do.
It didn't take close to a year to do anything, marionumber1 and I were working on it for probably 8-10 days as well. We had it EASY since we had information on how it works and what we had to do to get it, it was all about the timing. A year means nothing other then nobody had cared enough to try until now.
i dont seem to understand that if homebrew is enabled you can somehow lock out usbloaders??? do you not think that the authors or the usbloaders would be capable with out your help??? no offence
tbh i really dont care about the hole wii u games piracy ....... there isnt any out and any that are worth playing ide happily pay for (zelda when it turns up) if it ever bloody does lol have been waiting for too long now
also lately ive been using m-playerCE. dont get me wrong i think its brilliant on the wii already for what its worth but havin it on the wii u would make me happy as im sure codecs and everything else would be updated
agreed. the way i see it as no matter what people want from this hack/soon to be exploit. where there is homebrew there is piracy and vise versa
Everyone should not get their hopes up, as this is nothing towards a proper WiiU exploit, so don't expect booting WiiU backups and the like anytime sooner. Its way overly hyped at the moment.

i dont think we have and we have stated its "progress". not a hack or exploit
Yeah...hacks...bought Wii U...you lost me at your avatar. Is this pas3 hax now? Maybe verbally smacking back is allowed in fore...I mean fair play.holy sh*t!!!!!!
just got my wii u , keep it comming!
Seems interesting. Still not sure what the point is of running homebrew on Wii U vs a PS with android tablet. (I think that Nintendo should have set up the tablet to be able to dual boot into Android, and then they would have a lot more sales of hardware, but whatever).
Actually, I bought a Wii U on black friday from gamestop used, along with two others as it was buy two get one free, and sold 2 so that I got it super cheap in time for Smash Bros. :-)
Have had a lot of fun with it thus far with friends and Nintendoland and Super Mario 3d World.
Waiting for cost of Pikmin 3 to come down, and already have Windwaker original so didn't see the point of anything else unless I can find cheap party games. Was very disappointed to see that Rabbids Land is 2 players at a time only.
That rant aside, I think that people in the homebrew scene do make some pretty sweet games, and the imagination that goes into it will hopefully result in some great party homebrew in the next 3 years.
Great to see that people are working at this. Thanks much guys.
