Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[loco365]

I have faith in Nintendo's ability to fail at coding things securely (again).

Nothing can beat Playstation and their random number generator.

You need the latest version. This should be it.

Ok I tried the new version and it works PERFECT! Thanks for that! I got New Super Luigi U dumped and put on an sd card exactly the same way I did SMB3D, when I went to play it in mii maker mode it just freezes on a white screen, anyone else having this issue. I saw on the compatibility list that most of the games now work on mii maker mode so maybe im doing something wrong?

Also, I got bored and did a thing. It isn't finished yet but it at the very least reads files correctly. Now to get saving working. It even has a GUI
PyMSBT v0.1 Source Code
PyMSBT v0.1 32-Bit EXE

Saving still doesn't work...

He literally says in that post that he's still working on getting saving to work lmfao

I don't see the issue in hex editing, it's easy to do...just don't overwrite the current one's size .-.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm asking him if he got the saving working yet...

Also @NWPlayer123 you were featured on DYKGaming, specifically for finding splatoon stuff in Super Mario Maker

@FIX94 @NWPlayer123
The good address for pyGecko/loader.c for 4.1.0 firmware are :

#elif VER == 410
   #include "codehandler410.h"
   #define INSTALL_ADDR  0x011D9800
   #define MAIN_JMP_ADDR 0x0101BD4C

It's incredibly buggy and unfinished, or so I hear

Hopefully it's still being developed since, as a patched exploit, there is no "strategic" reason not to release it (when done). Hopefully the TriForce (User + Kernel + IOSU) will kickstart some serious development, for example a no-update fix or even a emuNAND + no-update fix which allows you to go online without fear AND keep your sysNAND clean. There are still plenty of <5.2 WiiUs out there.

Anyone here got mario tennis n64 vc title that was released yesterday in europe? if so please pm me since it might have more config files and whatnot.

Do we have any tools to create RPX files without needing the leaked SDKs yet? Loadiine would serve as a nice beginner homebrew loader, I imagine (relatively stable environment, SD card access (I think, since we're launched under Smash/Mii maker), pretty much everything except networking, right?)..

Not yet. I had planned to develop something for that purpose (when we were considering a community driven SDK), but I rarely have the time and interest also faded away.
Regardless, an alpha of the RPX/RPL to ELF was added here: https://github.com/Hykem/rpl2elf
It's far from complete and the original goal was to implement the reverse process (ELF to RPX/RPL), but if someone has the time, please consider contributing to it.

Well, before i updated to 5.3.2 i was on a pretty low version (i don't remember which version it was, but the console came with a physical Nintendo Land disc).

I could've stayed on the lower version but the reason i updated to 5.3.2 was 'cause of:

Advantages of updating to 5.3.2:

• Can use all available hacks
• Hykem IOSU Exploit soon™ (but later than lower FW)

(whatever 'all available hacks' concludes).
The latter one seems obvious

Perhaps i should hunt for another Nintendo Land WiiU and leave it 'as is'?

anyone downloaded the latest zelda titles on VC? if so please pm me.

@MrRean working on overrides for Reggie! NSMBU.

 

[MrRean]

porting loadiine to 5.5.0, having quite nice progress so far. Already got make building it and porting is almost done.

Waaaaaaait... you got the 5.5.0 exploit working? I could have sworn that NWPlayer123 said that he's the only one that got it working.

 

[daicon]

Pretty dumb question but:
Is there any indication a method will be discovered allowing to skip cumbersome exploit steps to basically boot into a homebrew enabled state on the Wii U? 3DS discovered a method involving the Themes. I know the Wii U bootrom was dumped (along with some drama) something over a year ago, but does that even have any relevance with what we have now?

Not really permanent CFW which as I understand it is most likely impossible, but how unlikely is the 'next best thing' so to speak?

So Kernel Exploit 5.5.0 is more STABLE than we thought, thank you!
