Hacking Wii U Hacking & Homebrew Discussion

[lefthandsword]

Probably because it does checks internally, and you'd have to patch those for out-of-region games to run.

On 3DS the only thing that enforces the region lock is the home menu. If you can trigger a soft reboot you can bypass it by getting NS to autoboot the game. I thought is was also the case for Wii U

On 3DS NS checks the FW version and region code before booting a game cart. hblauncher bypasses this by ROPing into home menu and calling a NS function that triggers a soft reset and autoboot into the cartridge.

That's a rather convenient oversight by Nintendo, but may not be possible in our case. I could be wrong though.

I heard that hykem was the Zodiac Killer.

Edit: All joking aside, no, there have been no new updates, and there likely won't be any. hykem has disappeared indefinitely.

Yes. You can confirm that it works by trying to access the eShop. If you get an error, it works.

 

[Pikachuk]

You can play online. Just no access to YouTube and eShop.

 

[Pikachuk]

but if a game has an update,i'll can't update him and play online with him

 

[soniczx123]

Then you will have to turn off TubeHax, download the update and then TubeHax back on.
