Saoshyant posted:Is Wii U currently hackable with the latest firmware? I updated a couple of months ago or so and then learned the exploit at the time didn't work on the newer firmware, but there was a hub-hub about the crunchyroll app being a possible entry point and for people to download it (I did so) and then haven't looked into the matter anymore. There's a new web exploit but it's not as stable so it'll take more attempts to get working than with 5.5.1. Haxchi still works though and is still stable so your best bet is to have everything prepared for a haxchi install beforehand, run the web exploit and hope you get into the homebrew launcher (if not, try again til you do), and then install haxchi onto Brain Age/some other DS title you buy from the eshop that Haxchi works on. Brain Age is usually the cheapest but definitely check before you go off and buy it.

A Spider Covets posted:What does soft modding mean? I'm still reading through the site in the OP and educating myself before I give this a proper whirl. Thanks! Soft modding means modding a console via software exploits without the use of a hardware mod (which involves soldering something to the console, usually) edit: beaten edit 2: For example. A software mod would be most of the stuff going on in this thread or using tom clancy's splinter cell on an original xbox or like flashing the dvd drive of a 360 with a different firmware that lets you pirate games. A hardware mod is something like soldering a modchip to your ps2/soldering stuff to the nand on a 3ds and writing stuff to it (or whatever you did for hard mod hacking a 3ds on the latest firmwares before new software exploits like ntrboot showed up) MagusDraco fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Oct 28, 2017 |

Admiral Joeslop posted:I hacked my Wii U sometime earlier this year, before Nintendo dropped whatever the last update was. I've got Haxchi and the Homebrew Channel installed, am I able to update my Wii U and various games, as well as open my internet connection back up to play online? So long as you have haxchi installed you can update to 5.5.2 without issue. We're mostly in the clear with respect to updates breaking stuff. There's a chance we'll get one when zelda gets the second season pass dlc but other than that looks like they're done updating the wii u. hacking vWii is just following a guide. As for getting things like the wii u pro controller, etc working in vWii mode I don't know much about that but probably has something to do with making vWii forwarder channels on the wii u system menu.

Mailer posted:Random googling has led to opinions that rednand may be no longer needed on WiiU so the 64GB card required for my black console may no longer be needed. Is this fact or is the answer to shut up and buy a drat 64GB card? The answer is I never used rednand in the first place and I've been fine. So. Do what you want. Odds are 5.5.3 isn't going to happen unless it drops with BOTW DLC 2 so nintendo has stopped trying to patch the wii u and all you really need is a haxchi install and everything should be fine unless 5.5.3 actually happens and breaks haxchi. 5.5.2 didn't break haxchi.

Admiral Joeslop posted:How is PS1/2 emulation these days? PS1 is fine. You can go with some basic ps1 emulator that just does stuff relatively perfectly or you can use epsxe and throw in plugins and try upscaling stuff, etc. Games work fine generally. PS2 is still a little bit behind dolphin/wii with some games not working in hardware mode right/parts of games not working in hardware mode right. However they got mipmapping working properly on the nightly branch so you can finally play ace combat 5 and ace combat zero in hardware mode with upscaling (though ace combat zero has pre-mission menu bugs in hardware mode). Still some imperfections here and there on games when upscaling/hardware mode causing odd issues depending on the game.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:Wow, these posts just showed how out of date I am with the Wii U stuff. The only thing I know about my setup is that I did something with my Mario 64 DS VC game that turned it into a haxchii logo, and when I click it, it says it's loading MochaCFW. However looking at the GBATemp guide, it specifically says that MochaCFW is for people who don't want to use a DS VC title to launch it Well you have the option of using MochaCFW or Haxchi FW via Haxchi. If Mocha is already set up right (you can run the homebrew channel launcher/other things installed via wupinstaller) there's not much of a reason to change it? Someone else who knows more could answer this one. CBHC just makes the wii u run haxchi when it boots after being shut off instead of running the system menu. Haxchi then runs Haxchi FW or something else (MochaCFW) and that boots into the patched system menu

RedMagus posted:I am not sure if someone has answered this succinctly, but what is the major reason for not being able to run DS games on the system except via flash cart? Is it a hardware block or just the fact that you have to drop out of the native 3DS system into a DS OS? Both? It's a thing where they have to get ds mode to redirect to the 3ds sd card when a ds doesn't have a sd card and that is a very hard problem to solve effectively. They have some games working, some partially working, etc. Some still overwrite the saved game of the cartridge in your 3ds too. You are generally better off buying a $20 ds flash cart so you can get full compatibility.

Really anything on that list works. The main issue is finding a place to buy one. The nds-card website recommended by the guide worked for me when I bought something but I highly recommend doing it via paypal even though I think you have to email someone and put the money in some "unrelated" email account 'cause reasons. I just remember shortly after NTRBoot came out and someone used stripe on the nds-card website they had their credit card info stolen so I don't trust not using paypal there

Yeah I guess I should have said there's several cards on that list that are "time bombed" which means if they detect the date on your console is X they won't work anymore. Probably should avoid those even if you save like $5

I don't think there will be a problem. Since that's a powered enclosure wii u won't have to try to power the hdds so it'll see them. You'll have to do that thing where the wii u ignores the wii and gcn hdd in wii u mode or it'll ask you to format it each time you power the console on. I'm just running my wii u hdd stuff off of a 256 gig usb stick and put the wii and gcn stuff (but haven't used it much so don't know about load times) on a sd card. edit: Mainly did this because I'm low/out of plugs behind the tv where the wii u is at so don't have the space for wall powered hdd enclosures

Shadow225 posted:Hi, super dumb question. Do I need a flash card with a New 3DS to be able to emulate normal DS games well? The guides in the OP didn't say this outright. Yes and no. Yes if you want to be able to play all DS games on your 3DS No if the DS game you want to plays works with those couple homebrew things that let you run DS games from your sd card but you still need a compatible DS/3DS cartridge in the slot and that save game will be overwritten and used by the DS game you're emulating. Basically it's a hassle and you're still better off with a DS Flashcart even if they've made some improvements to the compatibility in the past couple months.

Stan Taylor posted:Should I go ahead and have my Wii U or is there a fresh exploit on the horizon? Does it disable online play or does everything work fine like on a modded Wii? Get Haxchi installed on your Wii U (Injected into a viable DS game you purchased) and you're good to update to 5.5.2 since it doesn't look like Nintendo's ever going to update the Wii U again. Really you can still install haxchi on 5.5.2 but the web browser exploit usually takes more attempts to get working than on 5.5.1 so if you don't have a suitable DS game you can just update to the latest wii u FW and be fine. There may be some more wii u stuff on the horizon but right now the majority of the people who were working on wii u hacks are working on the switch instead.

It'll still take a lot of tries but eventually it should work.

The way I did it the homebrew launcher icon is on the screen permanently but won't work (it'll crash or whatever) until you run haxchi fw after turning the wii u on. Coldboot haxchi would solve that problem (by forcing the wiiu to run haxchi instead of the sytem menu when you boot the wii u) but I haven't felt like setting it up. No reason not to, just lazy

Detective No. 27 posted:Wii U Homebrew question. Is the SD card still needed after the hacking process is done? Is the Wii U able to boot without it? Is the SD card used to inject games? SD card is needed to tell haxchi what to do, run homebrew apps, install stuff (channels, games, etc) to the wii u. You kinda need the SD card. edit: Also I'm not 100% positive about the SD card being needed to tell haxchi what to do but I know there's a configuration file for haxchi on the sd card.

However, there was one banwave that no one had any clue as to why it happened and people still don't know what flagged those consoles. Still there also hasn't been a banwave like that since.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Just wanted to check in with goons, since I trust you people more than some random message board from years and years ago: I have a soft-modded Wii, everything runs fine, but I want to access the Wii Shopping channel and get all of my previously-purchased stuff before it's shut down for good. It asks me to update every time I access it, so I went looking for a solution. That guide looks like it's correct. You could use NUS Downloader to get the Wii Shopping Channel v21 instead if you didn't trust the mediafire link but that blogpost got posted around a decent amount so I'm gonna assume it's fine. I was a little confused at first why IOS62 wasn't mentioned in the guide since it gets installed along with this shop channel when you update normally but nintendo never made anything use IOS62 so whatever, it's not important.

Yeah and if the company follows through with account and/or console bans that turns more people off of it. Kind of amazed they didn't just ban more 3dses. Nintendo's kinda lenient compared to Sony and Microsoft unless you're doing blatant cheating that they can easily see and/or playing a game online pre-release.
