You need a kernel exploit to escape the browser sandbox and patch the FS functions in coreinit, even if you made a save-based exploit with all ROP you could still only run a modified TCPGecko to do some memory overwriting

since NX is pushed to march 2017 and the wii's last system update was 2 years before wii u came out think you could ask MN1 nicely to release the exploit into the wild please?. Pretty sure its safe now. Nintendo project sales to be <800,000 units in the coming year, zelda wii u will be the ONLY game at E3, its dead to them.

No one knows if there will be any future update for the Wii U. They could even push updates after the launch of the NX. I guess the latest date for >5.4.0 kernel exploit releases will be once Nintendo has completely dropped Wii U support. Then every Wii U owner could use the exploits..

Are you still working on your personal kernel exploit?

Of course, I doubt I'll find much, there's a reason we only have one, two if you count the OSDriver exploit, they are incredibly difficult to find, I've mostly been doing documentation cause me doing this alone is going to go nowhere

There is an OSdriver exploit for 5.5.X? dafuq?
Anyway are you really alone in this research? tbh i see many coders here trying to find a kexploit...

I think the issue is that we don't know when Nintendo will have dropped support for the Wii U until we tempt them with an exploit to patch. For all we know it could be released 20 years from now and Nintendo could still pull a "psych" and push an update patching it

There's no OSDriver exploit for 5.5 and there willl never be one as it got patched in the 5.5 update (OSv10 was updated so it no more leaves Drivers without spinlock, for the stability™ so the system). There are other kernel exploits(1-2?) but they are private and AFAIK they work in a more complex way so they are difficult to find

Tsk, I went to a few GameStops and asked. They said they didn't have any.

Didn't have any, not couldn't order one in lol. See @Bug_Checker_'s post.

Because of these two quotes above, I updated my OP

The fact Nintendo pushed a DSi update a year after the 3DS was released just to kill flashcards make our situation even more uncertain

It still requires PPC kernel access.

It does not need the kernel expolit for the title can use SD such as a Smash?
Or do you use private exploit?

this is pretty exciting
not sure if it's the big kahuna but it's probably something important

 

[EclipseSin]

Hmm, by thing I'm assuming 5.5.x kernel

The Wii U looks pretty good when all that... dare I say... unnecessary... shrouding is removed, hm?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that if it's @NWPlayer123 giving the hints, it's most likely related to something Marionumber1 is working on
