Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

But disk updates. Imagine the the kernel exploit would come soon and the new Zelda game would come with a new FW on its disk that patches the exploit's bug

new zelda will came in 2017 lol :'(

If an exploit to play backups is available will I be able to downgrade my current version is 5.4.0 U

"An exploit to play backups"?
Do you know, what an exploit is?

An exploit is software (or a file in the webkit exploit's case) that uses bugs in code (e.g. in the webbrowser) to put self-written code into the hardware's RAM and execute it! @Marionumber1 briefly explained the procedure a few pages back:

It's multiple flaws in security: a bug in the web browser that lets us control where the CPU jumps to, and then a bug in the kernel that lets us write to its memory (this is something that should not happen). Two security bugs can get you quite far.

Oh ok (BTW a new update is coming out for the Wii u on August 11 should I stay on 5.4.0 or update it)

Always stay on the lowest fw possible if you want to use homebrew until it is considered "save" to update!

 

[Navjit]

ok thx

What if Nintendo patches the kernel exploit with a new FW as soon as it is out?
Are there more than one stably exploitable bugs known?
I'm worried that we can't do any RAM hacking to the new Star Fox and Zelda game

There are currently two kernel exploits that I've personally developed: our original that was finished back in March, which was unreliable, and a very recent one I wrote that seems to work perfectly. In addition to those, there's Chadderz's kernel exploit. For browser exploits, we currently have one exploit for each time the browser is updated, with varying degrees of reliability. That may change soon if our idea for a new 5.4.0 exploit works out.

(...)a very recent one I wrote that seems to work perfectly.

Software obviously never is perfectly bug-free but that sounds like a pretty solid soon™ - ETA!

How do you know there's a new update coming out?

Nintendos tvii is going to be no longer on the Wii u I got a notification on my Wii u saying a new update will delete the tvii application on August 11

No tvii, no big loss, really.

Well said I didn't look at the whole paragraph so I don't know if there are going to be other changes in the new update but I will check later

"stability enhencement and furter optimisations"

 

[VinsCool]

all console updates says that, when they say that its a secret like patching a fix or wii u software ETC
they might patch the hack lol

That's exactly what I was hinting

Or reveal a new bug in the code!
