Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

Then connect to wifi and change DNS settings in options. But with the internet these days they can probably figure that out then. You could set a static route in your router and give the WiiU a DHCP reservation on its MAC in the router, then just set the static route in your router to go to 1.1.1.1 or something bogus for the WiiU's reservation address. Just make sure the wifi password isn't the same as your router admin password.

But will it let acces to the internet ? I mean for netflix or webnav for expemple, i would like something that block update servers but let others services running.

Then just block the update servers like every other tutorial (and I might add the original post of this thread) mentions. Should be able to if your router is good enough. I was only giving you those suggestions thinking you already did that. If you can't block the URL's, then buy a new router if you want that functionality. Can't help you past that...

For people that have issues getting the exploit to load (like me and SonyUSA) here's a fix that worked for both of us:

1) Clear all settings in your browser.
2) Open 4 tabs, in each load a website. Play a video or something on YouTube.
3) Close the browser.
4) Open the browser back up again, it should have remembered the layout from the previous session.
5) In the 4th tab open the exploit URL (you can use a bookmark too).

You only need to do this once, and it should forever work. If you are one of those unlucky people that can't seem to run the webkit exploit no matter what, try these steps and see if it helps. It might need some messing around but it should work eventually.

It can't just magically work with any game, it needs explicit permission in the cos.xml that Cafe OS loads from the code folder

Edit: Does not matter really

Thinking I should also store it as an XML but that takes a bunch of work to do and I've never learned how to parse it properly. Should probably make it as simple as possible, using pyGecko's interface (EG write strings, write memory, read and store memory)

It shouldn't be too hard. Consider something like the following schema:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<codelists>
<!-- Mario Kart 8 US -->
<codelist id="000500001010EC00">
<code name="L33t Code" author="NWPlayer123">
<poke>40000000 1337337</poke>
<poke>13371337 13371337</poke>
<poke>[[34000004] + 4A] + 1C 00000539</poke>
</code>
</codelist>
</codelists>

I'm not that much into XML either but this should kind of fit the purpose. Go ahead and make it awesome

Just wondering would with golden45 loadiine or whatever its called isntead of running a game run a VC title instead? and still be able to use caffine to replace files for VC injection?

Run this page on your WiiU : http://wj44.bplaced.net/remove_update2/payload532.html

I believe you need to run the kernel exploit first though.

I don't know if we can retrieve the game version along with the titleID from memory, it could be added to the cheat file too, to prevent listing incompatible cheats.

Hello. I purchased mario maker and it asks me to update. I'm on 5.3.2. What should I do? Wait or update? I want to enjoy future homebrew but also want to play this game.

Wait. There is a firmware spoof method coming soon, and the game was confirmed to be working

SD card access is theoretically possible from everywhere through patching a kernel syscall that requests access from IOSU, but afaik nobody managed to successfully patch it yet. It's not at all impossible though, likely just a matter of time, if something else doesn't hinder progress.

I do have code to patch IPCKDriver_SubmitRequest(), which means I can fake my identity to IOSU, but that won't necessarily be enough. The IPC block contains RAMPID and title ID, and uses this to check your permissions, so presumably the check will only succeed if the title/PID you specify is running. Therefore, you could probably run an SD app in the background and another app in the foreground, or vice versa, but you likely can't just give it apps that aren't running. I have not tried this, but it would be logical.

I believe that it won't be possible, at least not universally. Games have their own way of tracking the versions. We could start collecting memory dumps of different versions on Mario Kart 8 and compare the beginning values to see if something is suspicious such as the title id which always is on address 100136D0. Then we can make the distinction but overall we should forget about this versioning crap. Once everyone has the firmware spoofer, things will only be made for the latest game update since everyone will be able to access it. This is the only decent way of handling this issue anyway.

well you could always just have a dropdown list for people to select their version and filter out the codes for the other versions.......but yeah once everyone can get their updates i guess it makes more sense to just focus on the latest version

It's not a perfect solution but yes. Making things as n00b-proof as possible is always the goal

So I'm using CCProxy and blocking:
*.cdn.shop.wii.com;*.wup.shop.nintendo.net;*.c.shop.nintendowifi.net;*.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com;*.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com
For some reason I keep getting a window (I can close out of it) that says I need to update to go online, and to update through system settings. Is there any way to remove this annoying nag?

I don't know if it could be removed.

Since they bumped the minimal required version, I keep having this popup on all my games, and during WiiU menu booting

I also cannot play unupdated games (splatoon and smash, that hurts me a lot)

Oh well :/

Do you mean that you can't even boot those games or that you wish you could go online? Because I just checked now and I can definitely still boot Splatoon offline
