Hacker Releases Wii U Homebrew Exploit Teaser

Will the latest Nintendo released console be the first next-generation console to be exploited by hackers? It seems like the end of the tunnel might be approaching faster than ever. Indeed, a few days after the Mario Kart 8 Map Hack videos released by some hackers, there is another hacker going by the name of "garyopa" that released a picture of a Wii U GamePad running unsigned code.

o no nintendo am doom

Seriously, though, this is a flamebait article. These hackers found an exploit in the Wii U browser and managed to get a message to pop up in the browser, they're not anywhere close to making a homebrew channel yet. It's a browser exploit, that's all.

Chrono4315d ago

Did you forget last gen? Not only homebrew was made, they made a fully working & fast Wii emulator for PC during Wii's best days.

Th4Freak4315d ago

Uhmm, no. Its not a message in the browser, they're able to run unsigned code with it and it seems that its a kernel exploit.

So long story short, if this is actually true, the Wii U is the hackers bitch.

Patrick_pk444314d ago

This. These are the first steps into getting the Wii U exploited and when there is a kernel exploit, then we'll be able to pirate and play.

R00bot4314d ago

If you look at the hacker's website, they themselves did state that they're not anywhere close to making a homebrew application (right now), but they are progressing towards it.

MasterCornholio4315d ago

Dang that's pretty bad.

:(

I never like it when a system gets hacked.

"We Do do not encourage piracy, we are only giving news"

Lol if that's not the biggest understatement i don't know what is. Just by posing this crap you are encouraging it idiots, and what exactly are normal people going to be able to do about it anyway???......people just keep getting dumber and dumber.

Codewow4314d ago

If you own the game already it's technically legal. :D

wonderfulmonkeyman4314d ago

And how many people will actually own all of the games they'll hack into their Wii U, if that comes to pass without patches?
....
Yeah, thought so. Minority figures.

Codewow4314d ago

The amount of people risking their system for it is so small that the devs wouldn't even see a hit anyways.

FlyingFoxy4314d ago

The only reason i'd want homebrew is to run emulators on the Wii U gamepad, should be pretty sweet with off TV play.

Plus, should be the first console to run Dreamcast games etc.. full speed, even though PC's been able to do that for like 7-8 years.

Roccetarius4314d ago

Sounds great if an emu is in the works, so we'll be getting access to more games.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi78d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer79d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot79d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno79d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay79d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno77d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK78d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
