Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[FIX94]

Is it a real firmware spoof, or is it a simple string edit?

(please, a real spoof!)

it appears to just have a visual effect, still nice to see that if can at least fake out the menu I guess.

Do you have breakpoints working?
You could set a breakpoint on write on the text string and maybe see where it loads the fw data from

I just got a brand spanking new Wii U Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 8 eBay this week, I updated to 4.1.0 from the game disc. But I cannot created a NNID. I ended up with 5.5.0 so I can have my ID created. I also bought the MK8 DLC. . Now, can I still install homebrew channel with the new 5.5.0 FW?

if you mean on vWii side the answer is yes

I would at first need to find the sources of the gecko codehandler I guess and port it over to 3.1.0 since all the addresses are wrong.

A hacker scene without drama is like a peanutbutter jelly sandwich without jelly.

But anyways, from what I quickly saw now MK8 hacking is finally slowly starting (for everyone), firmware spoof is being worked on (probably one of the most important things for peps on 5.3.2 and so on) and and and. Cool!

And Virtual Console games injections!

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that! So, is this practical for "not so Wii U hacker pro people" like me too so far? And are savegames working for injected ROMs?
If yes: *throws money at screen*

Thanks!

Yes, I still have the Super Smash Wii game. I hope it won't brick anything. I just got the new console on 3 days ago.

Yes, saves works.

 

[EpicLPer]

Yes, saves works.

OH BOY

Well I gotta search on how to do this later today I guess, 1 AM here. But the first thing to wait for would be firmware spoofing anyways, I have no VC games installed yet

 

[the_randomizer]

Wow, firmware spoofing getting closer, this is awesome, keep up the hard work!

What do I need to download in order to get the Japanese AllMessage.szs?


EDIT: it failed because I blocked Nintendo's URLs, but I still don't know the ID of the Japanese menu... how could I find it?

Has the dlcs to be installed to make this to work?

I mean, assuming someone had the dlc files, but not bought it.

 

[MrRean]

I haven't tried that yet. Sounds interesting, though...would have to take the DLC, rename the strings inside of some of the BIN files, and then load it over another course...

I was wondering that because Markus95 was chatting about that with me the other day (before he accidentally deleted his update data lol).
Assuming some files could be replaced for DLCs data.

 

[Markus95]

I wanted to replace a race file by dlc race files, but i deleted my update of MK8, now for playing with it, i must update my Wii U

Yesterday I bought myself Mario Kart 8. I was just wondering (im currently on 5.3.2) and is there any way to unlock that 200cc (or was it 300) DLC without updating ones console?

Cheerios!

Currently, no, since it requires the 4.0 MK8 update to get the 200cc option
