Smash Wii U Research and Development Thread (Testing possible! Coders needed!)

[Ӄit ßallarɖ]

I thought system updates downloaded automatically. I know you can hit Cancel on the 3DS, but I never checked on the Wii U.

And I am on 5.5.1.

Yeah they do, unless you have TubeHax's IP running. It'll block any update, even games. It'll still show up in your download cue, but it'll have an error on it. I revert to my default IP when I need to update a game, like Super Mario Maker, then change the IP back after it's done downloading the game's update. Now, if there's a system update and you try to just update the game, it'll complain that you have to update the system first.... that's where the non-hacked consoles are going to run into issues.

Spoofing firmwares is a thing, so it's not too much of an issue.

Plus you can install the update manually iirc. Don't quote me on that though.

why I said "that's where the non-hacked consoles are going to run into issues" =p And I've yet to see any manual files... since I'd load to download em without worrying that my WiiU stopped downloading when I wasn't looking due to my slow internet..

Tubehax is on my Wii U. But I'm concerned I won't be able to play Star Fox Zero when it comes out, I'm willing to bet every cent I have that it comes with a system update.

Guess it's time to pick up another Wii U, eh?

Sp you are on 5.5.1, the highes FW available for wiiu explain to me how can star fox that comes out in like 2 weeks come with a higher fw than what is available? ...

you do realize fw in actual games is always way behind the console online fw distributions right? So far not even a single game has 5.5.1 on it yet, games come with the fw they were developed upon considering star fox has been developing for awhile if it comes with 5.5.0 its already preety  advanced lol it might even come with 5.4.0 like all recent games so far did dispite 5.5.0 and 5.5.1 were released long time ago.

what will never happen is a game releasing with a higher fw than what is available online, that will never happen.

Turns out there's been an update last night. Luckily I'm still able to get online with Super Mario Maker... but that hack better come in soon, else I'm going to get stuck in offline mode when SMM updates..

IIRC, it wasn't a firmware update. So you should be fine.

Awe man, Kit had me excited for a moment mentioning an update. I have a feeling Nintendo is planning not to patch the exploit in 5.5.1 and release a new firmware since they know the hack will go public right when they send the update out the door.

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I'm very surprised. Haven't heard anything about any system update at all, from any outlet. The latest version posted on Nintendo's website is 5.5.1

[Ӄit ßallarɖ]

Yeah, I'm already on 5.5.1 (which was forced onto me to keep SMM online after it's patches), so why I'm a bit annoyed and hopeful that the exploit is soonish.

also funny that the chick with the 15kb/s internet connection knew about this before you guys XD At least I let ya'll know there's a patch lurking out there.

[censored]! I thought I saw and heard my Wii U have an orange light the other night. That means it was updating right?

So...
Whats your 1st hack for sm4sh going to be everyone?
[censored] surprises.
Me:  i want to do splatoon hacks for splatoon tho.

[Ӄit ßallarɖ]

Port Kit over to SmashU. Maybe some other ideas rolling around up here like Ms. Fortune or Cerebella from Skullgirls.

Perhaps Cloud or Mewtwo?
Or maybe something a little easier like Rosalina.

Same here.
I still want that unreleased lab coat.
It would also save me from having to rollscum for optimal abilities.

[Large Leader]

Yeeeeah, there hasn't been an update for the WiiU firmware. It's still 5.5.1

No idea what's going on on your end Kit.
