so mk8 can be ruined just like the wii version. no No NO!

I think cheats are ok, as long as it is single player sided and doesn't affect anyone else's enjoyment of said game.

True. but many MANY people ruins multiplayer, and mkwii is full of kids cheating online. so, I hope no.

How soon is "soon"? This week? Before Christmas?

Well, I don't like asking that kind of questions because it seems some presure in developers, I will better wait without asking.

They're gonna have to if we never support the latest version so you can never go online :^)

I do agree with that, I am against cheating online; but would like cheats for single player portion of games.

 

[Skeet1983]

I don't want to start an argument or anything.

 

[Skeet1983]

If latest system version won't be supported for cheats, how would people be able to play newer games and still use single player sided cheats?

Did you really need to triple post? lol Anyways, it's not that simple, the exploit has to be ported over to 5.3.0 and that is not easy at all.

The most benefitial thing out of Wii U homebrew HAS to be enabling Wii U gamepad in vWii AND the incredible thought that could be put into Homebrew games and emulators (DS being the MUST BE PORTED one without a doubt, and N64 please? )

The Doom port is something I would love to see, the map in the Gamepad and the main game in the screen... DOOMU
That could apply to a shit-ton of games and that would be GREAT!.

Oh god the possibilities!
THE HYPE!

Spoiler: ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN!

PS: Forget about cheat codes, we don't want anymore f*ckbags screwing online play like in the Wii.
Do it in private, leave the rest of the world alone.
Same for backups. I already have all the games I want out of the console though, and I am on the lookout for Captain Toad

Oh and one more thing...

Spoiler: This announcement makes me feel like a Purple Pikmin!

Only bad thing though would have to be that I am running 5.3 on my Wii U

 

[Skeet1983]

Choo-Choo!!

 

[ShadowOne333]

One serious question though...
Would blocking the sites for the Wii U updates in my router still leave me with the option to play online and/or browse with the internet browser/youtube, etc?

Nintendo has gotten sneaky with their system updates, you can only do that for so long, eventually, you'll be forced to update if you want to go online. No way around it I'm afraid. I recommend blacklisting IP addresses and deleting all connections in the Wii U.

Well it's not like I play any of my Wii U games online (only RE Revelations)
But i do play my Wii games online every now and then.

Isn't Wii U online play blocked only if you are using a past firmware?
If you have the newest one but with the sites blocked it would still allow you to play in theory, right?

 

[nonamejohn]

One good thing that will come of this is that the kernel exploit should give way to reverse engineering of the system.Thus leading to emulation at some point in the future.

 

[Bug_Checker_]

That's hopefully one thing but it's not the main thing I'm referring to.

Does this impending release/info have anything to do with 31c3 ?

 

[nonameboy]

NWPlayer123 if you need some art for the project just let me know. I could do some fancy 3d animations and stuff like that. Maybe for an intro? just pm me if you need, would be my contribution to the scene

While i disagree with cheating online, a way to easily edit the contents of RAM on the fly is imperative for highly accessible or public modification of games in my opinion. The only exception being a way to patch game files at runtime, similar to riivolution. Even then, most of the intuitive modifications that you see now in mods like Project M for example simply would not be possible, or would be much more difficult. To the point that it either wouldn't be worth it, or it would be a long, long ways away from initial point of inception. Unfortunately, editing the contents of ram during gameplay is also exactly what would create cheats to use online.

If anyone can find a way to allow easy on the fly ram editing, or some similar function, without enabling cheats in multiplayer i'm all for it. However, for now i can't think of any. Don't get me wrong here, trust me, i want to keep cheats out of multiplayer just as much as anyone else.

Honestly the only thing I want to be able to do is dump files and do modding for games. To have someting like Riivolution to use my modded files and play them as the game boots up.
