Nice to know but the problem is that as soon as I connect my Wii U to the internet it will update the firmware automatically, it always does. The 3DS always asks you before even downloading the update so you're always safe on 3DS. Even Xbox One and PS4 ask you, Wii U is the only one that downloads and applies the update even when you have Automatic Downloads turned off. It only needs to get online.

EDIT: Is there any DNS that currently blocks updates on Wii U and 3DS?
Yes. DNS only for Wii U.

  • Set the DNS server IPs to the following servers
  • 168.235.092.108
  • 081.004.127.020

But the console still knows that there is a new update, right? DNS only make the update fail. Eshop, Miiverse and games will still tell me to update the system like on 3DS at the moment. I wonder if there is an easy way to use online services without having the console asking for the latest update.

So hypothetical question: Since it appears they patched out browserhax, that means they're likely trying to target homebrew on the Wii U.

Are we thinking there might be a Wii U ban wave similar to the recent 3DS version?

So if I have haxchi autoboot and someone updated me to 5.5.2. What do I do?

I found someone had created a connection with an auto dns server and this is how it was updated.

But even though it says 5.5.2 when I launch a game like minecraft it says it wants to do another update.

Is this just for the game?

Yes and yes, you are fine and the game is trying to update itself.

I already asked the first question.

i have a problem with haxchi. The first time i launch works but the second time the console freezes.
If you're using Haxchi to launch HBL, this is normal.
Haxchi is used to install HBL into your console's RAM. To launch it afterwards, you simply launch Mii Maker instead.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
