30C3 hacker conference to start on the 27th. Wii U talk happening.

[Joe88]

a picture of the vwii 3 core thread from here was in the presentation

basically no one cares about the wiiu to bother hacking it, the amount of work involved exceeds the eventual outcome of running homebrew
only ones interested/want it hacked are software pirates

 

[MichiS97]

So yeah, presentation is over, they are not interested in the WiiU => fuck (?)

 

[Coto]

sven, you talk too much. marcan and comex, congrats on the presentation.

 

[Valfore]

Got it to work via the RTMP links, When they questioned if it was really worth doing homebrew on closed consoles now......i died alittle inside :'(

Definitely does suck but maybe their interest will come back. I saw that they showed a picture of one of the threads from GBATemp so maybe in time they'll come back.

Wonder if the Wiikeu is successful that they'll gauge interest as well?

I doubt that they will gain interest in the WiiU because of the Wiikey U (should it ever be released), because they are against piracy.

Impressed with the conference, too bad about the lack of interests though. Still, thanks for sharing your findings with us.

Over 110,000 views in 3 combined threads on the subject. I hardly say there isn't any interest in the Wii U homebrew community.

My stream crashed after the dwarf debugging slide and came back at the slide before the epilogue.

Anyway it looks like I am going to have to up my game a bit as far as learning how operating systems and languages look at low level.

The "Hardening hardware and choosing a #goodBIOS" presentation was worth a watch as well.

You know that 95% of the GBAtemp Users are pirates?

That may be so. I know they love their flash carts here, but I am talking about the homebrew threads, including threads from different sites. I'm sure there are plenty interested in piracy, but I know many more are interested in homebrew. They go hand-in-hand, as far as I'm concerned.

So it seems like there's a way in with just the Browser alone? (from comex's part)

 

[PolloDiablo]

yes, we are

 

[Jiehfeng]

So is/was this about discussing how to hack devices like the WiiU? Just making sure, a bit of a noob in these times...

 

[Terenigma]

Im assuming how googling the name of this conference hasnt brought up answers such as "hackers have hacked the wii-u" means that nothing interesting happened yet? I remember the big celebration when they literally tore sony a new one and i was hoping for an encore with nintendo.. Still time for it tho right? It says its a 3day event so here's hoping they've saved the best till last.

In other news nothing news worthing came out of this conference.

They are not. Almost anyone who wants a system to be hacked will want this for piracy, not homebrew. Of course there are people who only want homebrew (like the hackers themselves in this case) but they are a minority.

Do you have any official numbers or polls to back this statement up? When I modded my Wii way back when, it was exclusively for homebrew. I'm a collector. I'm not going to lie and say I don't pirate, but that's not my main interest. I've also pirated for specific reasons such as EA Games not releasing Madden 25 on the Wii U or PC, so I acquired it on the PS3. I don't really care what people think about that, I feel justified in my reasons. In fact, I don't understand why people care so much about what others do anyway. Despite piracy, sales in the music and movie industry are up. Piracy isn't the reason software sales are down in the video gaming industry. Piracy also shouldn't be a reason not to release homebrew.

At one point, there was a rather good DS flashcart (the iPlayer IIRC) that only supported homebrew and no ROMs. It completely died because no one gave a shit.
