Title: gecko.net on wiiu ?
Post by: memorris on October 25, 2014, 01:29:52 PM
Hi all ,
Just wondering if gecko.net could work in wiiu mo de through the
Browser exploit ?
If not has anyone got any ideas on how we could do what
Bean and Chadderz has done .
Or is there going to be some thing similar to the
Usbgecko but for the wiiu .
I would love to make my own cheats and stuff for the
Wiiu as we did on the wii .

Yes, I'm interested too :P

Here's the user space exploit source code:
https://bitbucket.org/Marionumber1/wiiu-userspace/src

It is compatible till firmware version 5.1.0 only.

Note:
According to Marionumber1 a Wii U kernel exploit is needed before RAM hacking a.k.a PPC access is possible since the browser is its own sandbox where one needs to "break out".

However, there is no public kernel level exploit. Chadderz found one which he used to mod Mario Kart 8. He also said that Gecko.Net could be used / ported to work for the Wii U but there are no known details on it. For the reasons of preventing online cheating and piracy things are withhold.

A new user space exploit is in the works, but nobody currently knows if the existing kernel exploit still works on the newest firmware version (but most likely it does since Nintendo couldn't have known it) therefore you're out of luck for now anyways if you updated your Wii U to a version greater than 5.1.0.

Yes I've got the user space exploit set up I just
Can't brake out of it I just can't code that well lol.
I've got two wiiu's one on the latest firmware and the other
On 4.10 with a usbgecko soldered to it lol . Can't program
So can't use it lol I was hoping when Markus posted
Pics of abusing a usbgecko that he mite of given more
Info and maybe some programs that he used but no luck
So I left it soldered in just in case some one does

Right, but the Wii U homebrew scene is basically dead. Nobody cares making stuff possible, quite sad. I only have an updated Wii U though. I lost faith since nothing is coming up :/

I know this topic is a little older but there is a way to use Gecko on an older WiiU.
