I just wan't to try if the localhost work...

and I think the wii u have to be connected to the net...:(
Yes, your Wii U must have internet settings input on your console. But with Nintendo's URLS or your Wii U's MAC address blocked, you can still access your local server.

Only recently I see people recommending staying on 3.1.0... Is there an exploit available for it not available for 5.3.2? What am I missing here?
I think there's an old IOSU exploit for 3.1.0 that has been patched in newer FW, so it's just one more backdoor if somebody ever decides to do something with it.

How to do that?

Follow part 2 of the guide lol. Each router is different though, so I can't say where in your router settings you will find a MAC filter or URL filter, if yours even supports them. My MAC filter is in Parental Controls, and URL filter is under Firewall.

Sorry for kinda being off-topic but is there a reason this IOSU exploit was never released if it's been patched? I'm sure there's quite a number of people still on 3.1.0 that could make use of it.

I honestly know nothing about it, aside from its apparent existence and the fact that Hykem may have it.

Hey, I'm completely new to Wii U stuff - is this an actual hack for the Wii U? Or is it just for vWii? After reading everywhere on this forum that the Wii U is not hacked yet I am guessing the latter but I don't seem to see any mention of the vWii in this thread. Thanks for your patience and sorry if this is an annoying question :-)

The Wii U has been hacked, to varying degrees, for a long time, since May of last year. Since this August, one of our PPC kernel exploits has been public, allowing you to do game mods and memory edits.

So, it's possible but the team doesn't want to do it? Will it happen in the future?

    That RG cube is starting to look like the better value price creep option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    @BigOnYa i was legitimately trying to scratch my leg, this is reminding me of that cylinder post
  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

  • Scarlet @ Scarlet:
    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    You can stretch to fit probably it's not all bad that they make it seem to be
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    People always yap about oh but you loose pixels but yeah it won't look awful either
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Filters are why you don't go on 2nd dates
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lol nahhh it's because I usually get what they want on the first date lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I swear if I hear "I don't usually do this on the first date" on more time... I am going to start counting
