Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[ultracamp]

I think he is near to be released, deleted his twitter and will release anonymously.

That is pretty pointless

 

[Maximilious]

And the fact both consoles would need to be updated like a 3ds.

What? No. Go read the Wii U Definitive Guide.

 

[lefthandsword]

Please don't tell me hykem's Twitter is related to this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/international-raids-on-ps4-wiiu-hackers.418431/#post-6158002

I didn't believe it initially but I stared to be convinced

 

[LoganK93]

What? No. Go read the Wii U Definitive Guide.

Mind showing me where? Read through most of the bullet points, couldn't find where it said an UN updated console can system transfer with a fully updated one. Of course you need to actually FIND one on that firmware, which I already searched every game store, and unless I go to eBay and pay extra for a maybe hackable console... Well, some people can't just drop five-hundo whenever they want.

 

[Chuardo]

And neither am I - 5.3.2. Those consoles are still out there, so if anyone really want's one they can go get the appropriate bundle.

Well, not everyone lives on USA or other 1st World Country, you know...
Here you just can't buy another Wii U because they don't even sell it, so there's that.

You didn't read/understand what I said:

System transfer is still possible through a call to Ninty, backup of data to an external drive, and eshop spoof.

As for finding one on that version - I got mine straight from Nintendo as a refurb unit after 5.5 was already released, and it came on 5.3.2. I got lucky, sure, but there are bundles out there with 5.3.2 on them, and probably available on eBay as you mentioned. You would have to sell your old console to make some money back as I also stated. It's not that it's not possible, just a lack of motivation for anyone complaining on 5.5. to do something about it.

As for the cost of a new system, $250 does not break the bank unless you are really truly strapped for cash, barley making ends meet for kids/apartment/whatever, but lets be honest, if anyone here was like that (that isn't under 18), then you probably wouldn't be spending time here anyway.

Taken directly from openclassroom didn't you?

Lol yeah I fallow class there

 

[Stinkerbell]

maybe hykem killed his twitter account for security reasons after this "news"

 

[ryuutseku85]

just for fun
okay I assume you're not familiar with asm, so I'm gonna give you this

you cut your game so the random number will be only between 1 - 10 (option #1)
like this

Spoiler: code c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

int main ( int argc, char** argv )
{
  int compteur = 0;

  int nombreentre = 0;

  int nombremystere = 0;

  const int min = 1 ;

  const int max = 10;

  srand(time(NULL));
  nombremystere = (rand()% (max -min +1)+ min);

  do
  {
  printf("quel est le nombre secret?\n\n");

  compteur++ ;

  scanf("%d" , &nombreentre);

  if(nombreentre < nombremystere)
  printf("c'est plus\n\n") ;
  else
  printf("c'est moins\n\n") ;
  }
  while (nombreentre != nombremystere);

  printf("bravo ! tu as trouve le nombre secret en %d fois\n\n", compteur);

  return 0;
}

then generate the assembly file and figure out how to read your code in asm (you can cheat by looking at the .c code)

I posted this because I believe if you really want to learn how to hack wii u (or other systems), you have to know how to read asm code

and yes, this is x86 asm. ppc and arm asm are very different that this, but still follow the same principle (more or less)

Thanks I will give it a try after work

 

[LoganK93]

You didn't read/understand what I said:

Either way, I had tried to buy a hackable firmware one months ago. There were none in my area and I honestly can't justify paying more just for a couple of hacks. Also I wasn't even aware you could restore a backup to a different Wii u, you'd think it would back up the updated firmware...

 

[BothyBhoy]

is it definite that hykems gone....maybe some of the devs could shine some light????? is it still down to that one report, and i wouldnt read too much into his twitter account, if thats all the evidence. it probably got hammered when it was reported that he has been arrested, and thats why its been closed down.......thoughts guys?????

It is often silly when people delete their twitter accounts when they start to receive too much negative attention from the law, as if Twitter wouldn't be able to load up backups and logs of all the account activity. Deleting does nothing.

 

[memomo]

I feel bad for 5.5/1 user lol
At least we have Loadiine and HBL

Bay bay emuNAND and ColdBoot

I'm sure somewhere in the EULA States that they have the right to retain your data for a certain amount of time even after you delete your account

 

[I pwned U!]

Maybe Hykem helped to stage all of this to stop people from bothering him.

There is also a very small possibility that this could make Nintendo's firmware security team let their guard down.

meh, it isnt like the wiiu has a lot of good games, and i bought already the few good ones. What i only wanted are emulators and some homebrew goodies, but welp.

Loadiine can already run bunch of emulators ( VC games ) and HBL is a perfect environment to run homebrews

im not talking about vc injection, i would like to see emulators like the ones made for wii (ah those were good times)

Well, I think there's no more reason to keep using Tubehax?
