When the Wii U is hacked, does it still need to be at that specific DNS server? Can Wii U games be patched? What's the recommended software for Wii U VC Injection? I installed Injectline, but it just closes out whenever I type in what console I want to make an injection for.

Pretty sure the Wii U DNS server thing just blocks the official update servers so you won't get surprised by an update that manages to break homebrew. More of a overly cautious approach especially with Wii U support just about officially dropped, but also not unnecessary since the Wii U will automatically install an update once its been downloaded unlike the 3DS or Switch.

The details of the Switch bootrom exploit have finally been disclosed: http://misc.ktemkin.com/fusee_gelee_nvidia.pdf tl;dr: Any Switch manufactured to date should be hackable using this method. It requires the Switch to boot into a certain mode which can be triggered through software on old firmwares, but it can also be triggered with some straightforward hardware tricks regardless of firmware (either by removing the back cover from the Switch and unplugging the eMMC board, or by using a simple dongle to short out a pin on the right Joycon connector). https://twitter.com/fail0verflow/status/988445232445378561 condolences to those who missed out on new games and online in order to keep their old firmware version repiv fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Apr 23, 2018 |

ExcessBLarg! posted:One of the open questions with the Switch is whether it's going to have homebrew emulators and save backups before Nintendo releases their subscription-or-whatever VC service and cloud saves. Those are things that people want, even if they don't pirate games. With the hardware busted open, homebrewers might actually win the race here. Not a bad prediction since the same thing happened with the 3DS for the most part. Nintendo's handling of Virtual Console has been especially embarrassing when comparing it to, for example, how Sony did the PS1 Classics.

I want save backups really badly; somehow I don't think the folks going "rip switch" said it with the intention of it translating to "long live legitimate software sales on the switch supplemented by homebrew solutions." I might be a little cynical, though.

Sorry, I'm a moron. I read it properly now. I thought the Vita memory card thing was more to force people to buy Sony's stupid proprietary poo poo. If it were just for anti-piracy they would have priced them reasonably. I have a 200GB microSD card where my 3G card used to be . And I can theoretically throw in another 200GB microSD card into the game cart slot for a total of 400GB for the same price as a 64GB Vita memory card absolutely anything posted:rip the nintendo switch, died to piracy just like the gba and the ds and the 3ds before it Yeah I think people like to claim the Dreamcast died due to piracy just to give such an awesome console a bit of a better legacy instead of saying "Sega was poo poo for so many years that it didn't matter how good the Dreamcast was".

I don't buy the excuse that the Vita memory cards were to prevent piracy either. Realistically, how is using a proprietary memory card any more secure than just using an SD card and encrypting the whole thing at the block level? That's what they did with the PS3 and PS4 and it worked fine, you can pull the HDD out and plug it into your PC but there's no point because the data is encrypted with a per-console key that you can't get without already having hacked the system. repiv fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Apr 23, 2018 |

It won't being financial ruins for anyone. Only nerds do this stuff. The $12 DS flashcart couldn't kill the drat system. As soon as people start reading that they have to check their serial number to make sure the hack is compatible you lose 99.9% of the population's interest.
