Homebrew WiiU Homebrew Development

[YugamiSekai]

The clear cookies, close all tabs, and restart Wii U works. But the example in the 'gx2' folder says "0x00000000" when executed. It's probably just a bug.

 

[Reecey]

what computer are you using?

Are you asking me? If so, I'm not using a computer to just test the hello 5.3.2. that's just done through the web browser on your wiiu the other stuff I don't touch, I'm not that clever enough.

 

[Psi-hate]

Well unfortunately I'm on 5.4 but as soon as the 5.4 support is available, I'll definitely sacrifice my game stuff for this. (Hoping for some emunand. Unlikely but that would solve a ton of problems with people being caught between this and everything else)

well now that Fix94 fixed the graphic display tests on 5.3.2 would anyone want to try building some real simple stuff like atari emulator? i mean start small

I'd go with Game & Watch but Atari's good for start. Hey @NWPlayer123 do you think you could add a version changelog to the Readme.MD? It's kind of hard keeping track of when a new release is out.

Sorry if this was asked before, but every time I try to build the browser exploit cygwin gives me following error:


I have followed Bully's tutorial.
DevkipPro and Python 3 were already installed. I could successfully build the 4.1.0 browser exploit a few months ago. (But now I'm on 5.3.2 and would like to build the latest browser exploit)
The paths of the environment variables were already updated, too.

Install Cygwin: If you haven’t already, Cygwin can be installed from http://www.cygwin.com. Click the “View” button once to get a full list of available packages. Make sure to include at least the following packages (the numbers in the parentheses indicate the versions used at the time of writing):
python
make

I had a million issues with this at first. Copy cygpath.exe to the devkitpro mysys/bin folder

 

[LawnMeower]

The screenshot was taken from Cygwin. Well, I will try to copy cygpath.exe into mysys/bin .
thanks so far

 

[DJPlayer]

I accidently updated my Wii U to 5.4 (EUR) :/
I really hope there'll be a Updated Version for our Firmware soon

Didn't work.
But uhmm.. Just tried making a .bat solution. Just wrote

python build.py examples\helloworld
pause

into the .bat and let it running. No error message.
Now I have the following inside of www\helloword


Is this all right?
I will do a test run, now

EDIT: It froze the image but did not write any text on the screen (if this exploit was supposed to do so).

Always run stuff a few times, there's no guarantee it will work right first try. Of course Crash 2/Crash 3 is rare, but better safe than sorry
Also I haven't checked yet to see if the latest push works with normal command prompt so I'm gonna recommend cygwin still. If you have it added to your paths (which i assume you do since all you did was put "python") then you can run that exact command in cygwin too

@CosmoCortney
The files look ok. I think the first error you got is from executing from the wrong path.
The exploit isn't supposed to get stuck, how do you host?

 

[LawnMeower]

Thanks

I use Moongoose to host a local server because my router does not allow me to block IPs nor web addresses

Yes, it will complain about the missing cygpath since it will use cmd but it works anyway how it seems.

 

[Samwix]

Hi, what is kernel/IOSU exploit?

 

[deformyer]

@Samwix The exploit currently available is a userland exploit. This means that, as it's a browser exploit, it has the same rights as the browser. So the browser has the rights to make network connections and do primitive code execution but not much more than that. The goal is now to break this limitations and get a kernel exploit. This exploit has full acces to the kernel (the core of the operating system). This allows for accessing usb, more speed, game hacks,... Finally the IOSU is the final layer of protection to break. The IOSU a kind of separate security processor in the Wii U. Once you have an IOSU exploit, you have full control over the Wii U

 

[Monado_III]

Why is this split in two parts?
Also, sorry, I forgot to mention that gedit only works on Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and other GNOME-based distros, while KDE-based distros (like Kubuntu, Chakra) have kate, XFCE has mousepad, LXDE has leafpad and Linux Mint has another, whose name I can't recall

LM uses gedit.

Well unfortunately I'm on 5.4 but as soon as the 5.4 support is available, I'll definitely sacrifice my game stuff for this

To be fair, most games come with 5.4. It'll be best for the team to wait until Star Fox Zero releases, as that's Nintendo's last major game this year.

 

[Deleted member 342493]

Well, it was a long time since I was off this thing, seems the exploit changed now that it uses wiiulib...
I'm in 5.3.2 and I would like to test some codes from Python, I tried to use the old @NWPlayer123 guide

https://gbatemp.net/threads/using-the-wii-u-rpc-client.369732/

To compile the New exploit for 5.3.2, however I didn't had luck, I tried both CMD and Cygwin and both give me the same errors at compile time.
I would be very grateful if someone can help me, thanks !

Oh, another thing, I was thinking It could be a problem that I use Windows 10 Pro x64, but I don't think so. It seems the problem happend because it doesn't have a file called code532.bin

I have:
Cygwin
Python 2.7.10
Devkitproupdater 1.5.4 (I think it has Devkitppc inside) .

Thanks again! I put two images to show the error that it gives to me, since the text is so long I've divided it into 2 parts.
