Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[pedro702]

Does anyone think that a homebrew channel will come to this?

no it was already stated that is a boot every time exploit like the 3ds so you have to use the bowser to run iosu exploit like the 3ds where you need to run ironhax and the likes, for installing a homebrew channel we needed way more acess to early boot codes.

That's what I meant. Will there be a channel that runs after you run the exploit to load Wii U homebrew.

But if IOSU is more than kernel, why couldn't we install a permanent channel?

well loadiine in miimaker is already a channel with gui lol so yeah you can make a channel which shows your homebrew apps after trigering iosu exploit from the bowser certanly since we can already.

I think because it still needs a boot point to activate it. Once we are in kernel we can make a channel but to get there every time we need to use the browser

doesnt work like that lol to install a permanent channel you need more than iosu, iosu has most restrictions unlocked but it cannot install a homebrew channel since that require boot keys which no one has for the wiiu.

Couldn't we find the boot keys with this though.

nope just look at the 3ds people have preety much the entire acess and still cant install a homebrew channel without running an exploit first.

I hope we get alternative launchers like the 3DS has. I wouldn't mind a exact port of the Homebrew Channel as a Launcher

If you mean the HBC from the Wii, that's unlikely, they never released the source code for it. If you mean the Homebrew Launcher from the 3DS, that would be more likely to happen, especially since the Gamepad has a touchscreen (but it'd require massive portions to be redone, since both graphics and homebrew loading work differently on the Wii U).

I like the 3DS one. I think I'll fiddle around once it comes out. I have a idea on what I want from the game pad once we know how to use it.

Yes Dimok is preparing Loadiine to be like a "homebrew channel", and yes with IOSU you can install it like a channel in your menu, but unlike wii, (more like 3ds) you'll more likely need to launch the exploit each time to be in that "hacked state" of the Wii U every time you reboot it.

I'm just hoping for something like hblauncher_loader.

Looks great, would be a suitable background for the Wii U Homebrew menus

I wanted the gamepad to be the focus of the homebrew launcher just as Nintendo wanted it to be the focus of games. The top is kinda bland though. If anyone has any ideas please don't be shy to speak up!

Are you actually going to be the one creating this or do you just want to show off your Paint skills? (or whatever it is called on OSX)

That GUI is being prepared for your future homebrew channel/launcher/loader.
