Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[BullyWiiPlaza]

My Wii U is on 5.4.0 and not on 5.3.2
Without a way to test stuff, it's useless for me ._.

I see, I'm in the same situation as you.

Alternatively you could get a browser exploit for something like Internet Explorer 6 and experiment with it. That way you learn more effectively because on another device it's less convenient. This suggestion seems dumb because it's not the Wii U but you'll see that it's all pretty similar nevertheless.

Here:

For which Version?

EDIT: I see :/ No 5.4 >_>

 

[wj44]

For which Version?

2.0.0 - 5.3.2

 

[xXDungeon_CrawlerXx]

2.0.0 - 5.3.2

oh, okay :/
I hope a version for 5.4.0 will be added soon, too

Webkit exploit for 5.4.0 will be released once Nintendo will patched it.

 

[nastys]

Yes.

Nope look at this issue: https://github.com/wiiudev/libwiiu/issues/20

Well, you forgot the other part of my statement: if we can find a reliable way to dodge updates, it will be released too.

The Kxploit does work on 5.4.0 but there's no public browser exploit to triger it yet ^^.

Why can't you just leave that up to the users? If they want Homebrew, then it's THEIR job to block updates, NOT yours.

Wii days were the best.

While what you're saying is logical, I disagree and I'll explain why.

The strength of the homebrew scene of any console is only as strong as the amount of developer support it manages to achieve. The Wii and 3DS homebrew scenes are good examples of this - those scenes took off because they were friendly to developers from the start.

How is this relevant? Because issues such as blocking updates are not only relevant to end users. It actually requires quite a lot of jumping through hoops to avoid updating your Wii U console, especially given the necessity of an internet connection due to the use of a browser exploit. This isn't just inconventient to end users, it also puts off potential homebrew developers who may be interested in the format but see it as limited and unreliable due to the amount of hoops required to jump through just to execute homebrew.

We need to think beyond the end user and think how to make the format appealing to homebrew developers. And creating a stable, secure homebrew environment that isn't going to accidently update just because their router has been mischievous goes a long way towards that.

I would actually personally support all hacks being kept private until such objectives are achieved.

The goal is to be able to use the exploit while still having access to online and whatever things restricted to latest versions

Hmm, I am pretty sure the new kernel exploit is patched as well. Waiting for Marionumber1 to confirm.

 

[Vision62913]

What I wonder at the moment is if there's a way to downgrade your Wii U to a publicly exploitable version. Sounds impossible at this time, but just maybe...

I find surprinsing that Nintendo knows about people trying to break into kernel/IOSU, even more patching this stuff.

 

[Outopos]

thanks a lot

Matt may have spoken too soon. I just pointed out something he overlooked.
