Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[OriginalHamster]

I'd like to see Iwata's face when the homebrew scene releases an N64 emulator for Wii U mode before Nintendo brings any N64 game to the eshop

I wonder if the reason they couldn't release N64 on Wii U is because compatibility issues, but I don't think they would have problems with the CPU, since it's derivated from Wii Power PC architecture. They promised N64 games, long ago...

Curious-would it be possible to get the N64 games at 60fps or HD? I have a feeling Ninty will try and do those things to woo users.

Possibly, it'd need some fancy modifications for 60FPS, but HD should be pretty achievable.

Awesome, I feel like THEN Iwata's face would drop, because the only way an official emulator could top the homebrew one would be with 20 free games to each user. Add compatibility with the Gamecube Controller and Nintendo have failed.

I heard that Harvest Moon 64 was recently reported to not going to be released on Wii U VC because of compatibility issues. There may be things we dont know about preventing them from releasing the games flawlessly. Either way, I wanna do it first

Do you have a link?

Do you have a link?

Here you go, Its from Natsume themselves LINK Though I will quote

"On whether Harvest Moon 64 could hit the Wii U Virtual Console…
Unfortunately, Harvest Moon 64 suffers from technical issues that won’t allow for it to come to the Wii U. We know how beloved the title is by fans, and we have tried everything possible to have it released on the Wii Virtual Console, but there is nothing that can be done."


I think this may just be about bringing it to VC in general, but think of plenty other good N64 games that weren't on Wii VC for whatever reason, A possible reason (Other than the wii not able to do it) for the delay is to check, double check, and trip check checkin it to make sure that everything runs right.

I'd rather have each game run right imo

But that's just a theory.

Thanks
They had problems porting it to Wii, and it seems they couldn't port it to Wii U either, I wonder if it's isolated game problem, or just Wii U can't handle N64 games

Did anyone catch this?

Saw this (http://pastebin.com/3e0ErvyP) on Twitter. Might be interesting considering "It also work on Wii U up to 5.3.2"

I don't know, seems very similar to our old patched bug.

If its worth anything, Here's the video that was in the pastebin

not meaning to come across rude. but how could it be simular if you have only just got a webkit exploit for 5.3.2?

 

[Marionumber1]

A crash is not an exploit. We have several crashes but not an exploit yet.

I mean similar to our oldest browser bug, which got patched.

What scene taught me through the years is that if it looks fake its definately fake, and if it looks real its probably fake.

So I really wouldnt get my hopes up for this one.

A crash is not an exploit. We have several crashes but not an exploit yet.

More than several... It seems like every noob posts a "potential browser exploit". Even me. It seems like many people automatically assume that a crash is exploitable. My favorite counter-argument is this:

newuser926820: i found a way to crash the wiiu! It always works every time. The screen goes black. With this new exploit we'll have backup loader in no time!!!
Marionumber1: Please give more details.
newuser926820: The method is very simple: unplug the power cord! This always crashes it no matter what its running!!
TotalInsanity4: *post censored* - reason: extreme language
NWPlayer123: How do you recommend we run unsigned code using that method?
newuser926820: I dont know haw expliots work. You're the expert not me. I cant do complex stuff like that.
Mr. Mysterio: How do you expect the processor to run code when it doesn't have power?!?
newuser926820: blah blah ps4 emulator blah blah goku in smash blah blah minecraft on wii u plz kthnxbai
Vulpes Abnocto: Do I even need to say why I've locked this thread?

Good idea! It's added.

PS: The spell-checker REALLY doesn't like that...

You also forgot to add:

MrMysterio: Yeah wow you're dumb

Newuser4312312: We resolved this 3 pages ago, did you read them?
