New homebrew unlock hack

Not everyone sifts through gbatemp for the latest news. A clear, concise writeup is a worthy read for most people. Had to send my Wii off a month a few months ago because the DVD drive broke. I decided it was best to wipe it clean of homebrew and update to 4. I got it back with 4. Only problem is, since this is a direct attack on the system menu, it is going to be a quick fix for Nintendo.

If this fails, I read about another exploit based on the Twilight Hack that uses a malformed Brawl stage to crash the Wii. Since nothing is stored on the Wii directly, it is pretty much impossible for Nintendo to patch around other than by making new Brawl discs and stopping new discs from being exploited.

Even better is it gives you the choice of launching the program or ignoring the exploit and letting the Wii system function normally, which means you can leave the program on the SD card at all times without ever having to remove it. This is a good step forward from having to buy a specific Wii game to exploit a saved file which I had to do before this exploit came out, thankfully it was a decent game. This just simplified my life.

I got a modchip about 2 yrs ago and put off installing it until wiis became more available in case I screwed something up. Then I just sort of put it off. This week's exploit release, by contrast, works up to firmware version 9.

Users with a fully updated PS4 won't be able to make use of the exploit, which was already patched out in PS4 firmware version 9. In fact, the hackers suggest on GitHub that examining the differences between those two most recent firmware versions helped them figure out how to get the full exploit working.

The young age of that latest firmware patch, though, means fresh-from-retail PS4 consoles purchased today may still have the older version 9. That could be important for homebrew fans because there's currently no known way to downgrade a PS4 to an earlier firmware version to make use of patched exploits.

Alright, was just a joke about caturday. The exploit is legit, and as a bonus: The kernel exploit affects Playstation5 as well! On Github, the hackers note that the same underlying error "works on certain PS5 firmwares; however, there's no known strategy for exploiting it at the moment.

Why Homebrew? Emulators: Want to run Nintendo 64 games on your Wii U? USB game loading: You only have a measly GB of space on your Wii U, which is only enough to install a few games to the fast internal storage. Homebrew enables loading hundreds of games from USB storage, which you can dump yourself from the disc.
