Nov 2016: Haxchi is released, an exploit in the WiiU's DS (and N64) emulators that allows code to be arbitrarily executed in place of the DS Rom. This allows vWii to be hacked without requiring a compatible disc! This version has signature patching enabled, allowing installation of titles regardless of their signature/console origin (allowing installation of eShop games extracted from another console for example, even if tied to that console).įix94 also released WUPHAX, a method to hack vWii from WiiU mode and install the homebrew channel. Using the CFW loader, RedNAND can make a copy of WiiU/vWii NAND on SD card and boot from it. This required a further patch per title as tickets were not correctly copied.Ģ2nd October 2016: The first experimental CFW loader was released, allowing developers to finally fully explore the WiiU's file system.Ģ7th October 2016: Crediar updates DiscU, a dumper for WiiU discs, patching the ticket issue with the Brazillian Method.ģ0th Oct 2016: RedNAND is officially released. "The Brazillian Method" was released, a combination of homebrew and PC tools by various devs, allowing WiiU backups to be installed directly to the console NAND or a USB hard drive formatted for the WiiU, loaded from an SD card, combined with a download directly from Nintendo's eShop servers on PC. It still required some further exploits of the WiiU's security systems to work properly, however.Įarly October 2016: A pair of posters going by the names of the 2016 US presidential Election candidates posted a usable IOSU exploit, and the first publicly available homebrew for said exploit, which displays almost the entire set of Per Console "OTP" keys for the user's WiiU, finally cracking the WiiU's security wide open and allowing for nearly unfettered access to the hardware.Ģ0 October 2016: Nintendo Announced the Switch.

May 2016: An update to the Kernel exploit, allowing for homebrew to be loaded on FW 5.5.1 was also released proof of concept code for an IOSU-based hack. Only one would eventually release.įebruary 2016: posted a video of an early version of RedNAND, a 3DS-esque EmuNAND based software loader for the WiiU. October 2015: Loadiine was released, a Backup loader that at the time could only load games from SD cards (this would later be expanded to load games from the local network, and USB hard drives.)ĭecember 2015: Two Separate IOSU based hacks were announced. HTTPGecko and What would eventually become Caffiine was released, allowing for game modding and cheats. September 2015: The previously announced kernel exploit was released, allowing for limited access to the hardware by coders. June 2015: A new usermode exploit was released, this one compatible with Firmware 5.3.2. March 2015: Some proof of concept Homebrew has been made available using the 4.1.0 Exploit.Īpril 2015: A Kernel Exploit was announced, however it was not released until September. The Wii U Ancast key had also been dumped and made available. June 2014: A usermode Exploit (though one only available in 4.1.0) was released.Īlso, Wii U Games started to get Dumped, as well as their Key hashes. They also would not release this exploit. It has been independently verified and the MD5 hashes match that of the F0F Exploit, Corroborating F0F's claims. However, they also said that they would not release it.įebruary 2014: A separate hacking team unrelated to F0F has announced they they have also developed a parallel exploit, and have dumped the Boot ROM. Late 2013: Fail0verFlow (The Dev team that produced the first usable exploit for the Wii) Announced that they had found an exploit, and showed some MD5 hashes of the WiiU's security keys.
