If there is an official update out does this mean marionum1 will release the latest kernel/WebKit exploit? I think it was being held off until the big N release a new update?

Are u living under a rock, it already has been released minutes ago [emoji14]

Have we gotten any official announcement or comment regarding the compatibility of the current IOSU exploit with the latest 5.5.1?

Hykem has not been on GBAtemp for 9 days, so there has been no official announcement ever since, and you expect an announcement about an update that is just a few hours old? :wishful-thinking:

I got confused on what was what. I thought the mp4 glitch was separate from the kernel and webkit lol

The mp4 bug is used to exploit userland/webkit.

The mp4 bug is used to exploit userland/webkit.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I can't wait to see more progress

 

[EclipseSin]

Not sure if you see what he meant, he's asking if that was actually the mp4 bug being used for the exploit ^^.

Precisely. Because if not, and there is a bug in the media player causing it to not exit correctly in the background (explaining why there is no video player windows on tv, top of pad, or even in the webpage anymore), it may be another point of interest. Either way it seems interesting, whether it's happening on youtube or not.

To clarify, I could only still hear the audio from the video. No video on TV, no video player above browser to close or pause etc, and no player windows in open tab (only one tab was open during the whole process). I switched to the main page of the site, opened a new stream while hearing this audio, it began to "play" the new video but froze the Wii U before loading any frames.

Wait, if that works on 5.5.0, loadiine possible?

No, kernel access needed.

No

Sorry to be so newbie in WiiU scene, but if you guys says mp4 bug is used to exploit userland/webkit, wouldn't that mean the kernel exploit is available?

Available BUT private.

 

[GOT4N]

Available BUT private.

Aaah, so the mp4 uses the exploit, but it's still private?

 

[vasalpa]

Available BUT private.

So we should wait until it is patched as well?

Userland exploit uses mp4 bug,
Kernel uses **** bug,
Kernel is private.

 

[AboodXD]

Yes.
Waiting for IOSU is much better.

 

[GOT4N]

Userland exploit uses mp4 bug,
Kernel uses **** bug,
Kernel is private.

Ah so userland is Patched and doesn't allow Loadiine but Kernel isn't?

 

[vasalpa]

Yes.
Waiting for IOSU is much better.

That basically means that it could take months for nintendo to release another update with the kernel exploit patched. So that means we should wait for IOSU as you are saying!

To be correct, we should be able to compile the OSDriver exploit into a mp4 for use on 5.4. But it's pretty likely no one will use it at that point, because it's so unstable.
