Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[BullyWiiPlaza]

Impressive! You guys keep beating your own benchmarks. Nice. You can exploit but not record gameplay videos very well, haha.

The question is after 5.4.0 homebrew working:
It's safe to update?

I just wish people stop asking this over and over again, it clutters the thread, it also has been answered numerous times.
Just follow the progression and you will know.
Best is, if you are not familiar with this hackingstuff, to wait it out untill the the group that's working on the hack says it's definitely OK.
Or go on if you can't wait and never look back.

Can the aspect ratio of VC games be changed, 4:3 is overrated and overused, we should be able to change that code for that, right?

Theoretically. No bets on how good it's going to look

Right, but I don't like how they look, esp. for Snes games on our 50' Samsung HDTV, it looks horrible via HDMI, just saying It should be an option left up to the end user, I just hope the method for wad injection is simplified But at least we know 5.4.0 is safe.

UCap (stream gamepad/TV to computer for visualizing/recording).

Can something like that be made on the original Wii?

If games have a built in widescreen option, then they should look perfect stretched out to 16:9. If your TV supports stretching the image to fill the screen and you enable the widescreen option that's the picture you would be getting.

Time to edit first post that 5.4.0 is safe, will help people asking every time the same question.

When have they said that 5.4 is safe. They have 5.4 on a devkit unit and it is acordingly buggy.

Doesn't mean it will never be safe though.

PSA: No exploit =/= Firmware safe.

 

[keven3477]

Hopefully you are right, but for the time being it is not really safe to be in 5.4. I realy wish it was because i miss playing splatoon and there is new content coming out.

What are you basing that information off of?

 

[YugamiSekai]

I'm guessing that No Public Exploit -> Not safe yet.

 

[FusionGamer]

There's a publicly available exploit for 5.4? No? Then 5.4 isn't "safe".

Doesn't mean there won't ever be one in the near future. They're working on getting 5.4.0 to work, so if you're on 5.4.0, you're not permanently SOL.

 

[NWPlayer123]

Well if it makes you feel any better this was all done on retail 5.4.0

Spoiler

This is probably a ridiculous question but is it possible for the wiiu to run 3ds games? How feasible would something like that be?

It's possible but probably wont be done until Citra is fully working.
