Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[frogboy]

The whole purpose of the thread was to attract people who can contribute to the Wii U hacking and discuss the progress, locking the thread will just defeat that purpose ^^

if i had the ability to contribute to the scene and i saw this thread, i'd turn and run, frankly.

only a month into my C training. i'm eager to get started, but a month is nowhere near enough experience to tackle some of this stuff. i've practically memorized the libwiiu readme lol

Lmfao. If this thread was locked you can still read it and if someone comes along with something new they can start a new thread

1) Develop savegame exploits by fuzzing savegame data and debugging crashes with kernel exploit.
2) Develop new kernel exploit by reversing kernel syscalls to find vulnerabilities (this is how Comex found the OSDriver race condition).
3) Develop IOSU exploit by fuzzing ioctls for device drivers to look for crashes. IOSU runs on ARM9 which doesn't have support for NX bit, which makes blind exploitation ALOT easier since you don't have to have an information disclosure in order to find ROP gadgets.

Other productive things to do:
1) RE and document RPLs on WiiUBrew (Super easy because symbols are intact for dynamic linking).
2) Work on libwiiu by adding examples of how to use said RPLs (Sound would be interesting).
3) Get working elf/rpx loader for homebrew.
4) Help exjam with his emulator.

I...actually agree with this, I can help with RPL/RPX stuff for sure and I've an extra SD card I don't use lying around.
May I ask who exjam is, and what emulator is he working on, if I might ask?

I never said I wasn't releasing any more hacks lmao
I don't put that much time into making tools, but if people want them, I'll most likely send whoever asks me them, most of them are unfinished anyways, only really for me to get the job done when I'm working towards a goal. Only thing substantial is a rewrite of pyGecko, and I'm too unmotivated to try to mess with Git to make a separate branch for the GUI.
Also, as I've said before, the exploits aren't mine to release, and you got your official answer from the man himself. It's up to Matt and MN1.

The current 5.4.0 bug is just too broken to fix. At least by me.

If you want something, chances are you're gonna have to do it yourself, that's pretty much all I do nowadays anyways.

Or you can mind your own business on what happens outside the temp.

So since it seems quiet unlikely that you guys are gonna fix it, can you still release it so at least people who can contribute to make it somehow more reliable could do so ?

Don't like being called out, I see :^) What about all of the cross-posting from crediar about stuff like beating a Mario Maker level to beg for forgiveness lmao

 

[OncleJulien]

If you want IOSU so bad, feel free to exploit it. It's not an easy task.

is there a tutorial?

Riiiiiiiiiight....

 

[NWPlayer123]

Wait fox boy is that douche on twitter?

Indeed

is there a tutorial?

That's on the todo list too

 

[filfat]

People seriously? What the hell is going on here?
The thread title is "Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion" not "Let's be everything that's wrong with the gaming community".

Can we please just have an adult conversation about exploring and extending the Wii U? No?

THE OP HAS SPOKEN!

no, because not everyone posting is an adult.

Figure of speech...

@Bortz.
Sorry to call you out like this, but this is in desperate need of moderation.

Most posts are just picking on a specific user, the reason does not matter.
They are getting the thread too much out of topic.

Wow, I have read that guys tweets before and just got enraged. And you have always defended fox boy and been patient. I still to this day don't understand why he gets a pass.

Also semi-wiiu related I was wondering if there are tools in place that extract 3DS games like DiscU for wiiU and find the part for corneria on 3ds and rename it and play it on wiiu via cafiine?

There are two type of people in the world, consumers and producers. When a consumer is a glutton and has consumed everything without tasting it, they stand back and demand more food, while never properly understanding how long it took to produce the thing.

I'm sure there are, I wouldn't know what they are though, only one I know of is a xorpad method. Keep in mind that Smash, minus update data and like character intro videos, is just two giant 2GB files for the entire game, you need to either do it manually in memory or hook into the code that they use to load from the archives (dantarion's still working on that, by the looks of it).

To be fair, I've been doing a lot more consuming recently, too much stress. Patiently waiting for more content to come out and then planning accordingly.
