Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Two questions for the devs:

1. I have downloaded pyGecko and ran make. What am I supposed to do with the output files in /bin to build the codehandler in to a webpage?
2. Will rpc eventually be able to be used across applications like pyGecko?

Run the kernel exploit > Run code handler installer > Launch App > Connect

So this allows us to use TCPGecko?

It should do. You have to boot into a new app for the code handler to work.

Might we get a better instruction for this?
I can run the kernel exploit and TCPGecko is compiled. I have also downloaded pyGecko. What's the next step?

Oh, there's no installer for it. Okay.. uh. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share the installer. I'll ask Marionumber1 what the situation is.

Do you just put the codehandler532.id file into your directory and run the exploit then run it again with codehandler to access Gecko?

 

[Mathew_Wi]

To make an installer, use this code. (5.3.2 and 5.4.0 only)

/* Install Handler */
memcpy((void*)0xA11dd000, codehandler_text_bin, codehandler_text_bin_len);
      
/* Patch Coreinit */
*((uint32_t *)0xA101c55c) = 0x481c0aa5;
*((uint32_t *)0xA10c0404) = 0x38600000;
*((uint32_t *)0xA10c0408) = 0x4e800020;

@wj44. Thanks m8 I managed to grab that html link before you deleted it, it just might help me

Got PyGecko now working(I'm not sure): http://wj44.bplaced.net/PyGecko2/

You'll probably also want to add:

kern_write(KERN_ADDRESS_TBL + (0x12 * 4), 0x00000000);
kern_write(KERN_ADDRESS_TBL + (0x13 * 4), 0x14000000);

Otherwise, some games will break.

Works Perfect: http://wj44.bplaced.net/PyGecko2/
RAM editing can start.

Thanks dude for your work !

Why did my Wii U have to update itself back when 5.4.0 came out *sniff* I'm so looking forward to playing around with TCPGecko and Cafiine.
Anyway, what I really wanted to do is to thank @Marionumber1, @NWPlayer123, @Mathew_Wi and all the others who are part of initiating the homebrew scene. I feel like this isn't said often enough with all the people begging for releases and not really appreciating the hard work these people have done and are doing. Looking forward to seeing some IOSU stuff next!

where do i have to save the loader?
It just tries to load the payload532.html. Should i use it instead of the index.html?

Open your WiiU Browser.
Open this URL: http://wj44.bplaced.net/osdriver/
It redirects you to the HOME-MENU.
Open Browser again.
Open this URL: http://wj44.bplaced.net/PyGecko2/
open a Game.
Extract Gecko to Desktop.
run Gecko dNet.exe
connect to your WiiU.

I have to host everything on a local server because my router can't block addresses. So I just was wondering..

So I need to download http://wj44.bplaced.net/osdriver/payload532.html as well? ofc i have to i guess..

Extract this files in your WebServer and run them via WiiU.

@Mathew_Wi

Is there any sort of time estimate for how long it will be until the 5.4.0 exploit is released (I' fine without an answer if you don't know).
