At least as far as dumping the bootrom goes.Īs for the whole "but why?".

Basically there are design flaws which make all the hard work in the security moot.

It is really interesting and goes into and various methods they were able to extract data (including using the sensor bar). If you were interested in how the previous group did it then watch this talk: Notice how this and the previous group have not released an exact method of how they did it.

Yes through understanding all of this you might be able to figure out how to make something better work but is far from piracy (I heard about a year ago a Wii U modchip was in development, modchips will always be the far easier route to piracy). You can't do much with the bootrom except compare it with a buddies one to see if it matches (it does suggesting you've done it). The bootrom has been dumped through a different route than before. Oh noes its bad news its over, those 3 million Wii U will never be sold now. The Twilight hack is still a valid exploit, even on the latest Wii models (well, except for the Wii mini, apparently). Just like the DS Mode on 3DS, the WiiU's Wii Mode runs in an isolated sandbox, and the only means of communication are the 'Return to WiiU' channel (which simply force-reboots the WiiU), and the Data Transfer (which is regulated by Nintendo's online verification).Īlso, there's barely any reason to do this other than potentially playing games illegally, since not a single japan-only game is in high enough demand outside to even import it - not even Monster Hunter FG (monthly fee and IP-region check shoo all of them Not exactly true - of course the exploit itself in the firmware was patched, and all copies of Twilight Princess after the second print have it removed, but the Twilight hack was 'patched' as well (ironic, huh?) to work on later firmwares, as long as it was the right print of TP.
