Hykems twitter was first set to private and now deleted.

While I understood and supported the need for patience, I had a bad feeling that the longer things dragged along, the bigger the chance something would go wrong.

I think I'm done caring about console hacking. The only Wii U game left to release that I care about and haven't bought is Zelda U. I'll still get it day one and after that I'm done with consoles. If something gets released, yay, if not, whatever. I have enough games in my backlogs between the systems I have now and my PC to keep me entertained until I die of old age.

To Hykem, hope you are safe and OK, where ever you are.

@Marionumber1, you've been telling me in the past couple of months that the exploit would just be "wasted" if you released it early, but I never really understand what you mean by that, exactly. There is no doubt a million-and-one things us >=5.5 users could create with that kernel exploit! And don't forget that I would really like to use it just for Unity WiiU purposes, and not really any piracy...
That's the kind of creativity I would like to do with 5.5, and I'd really make some amazing games and tools with it, so I don't really see how it would be a "wasted" opportunity as such.

Despite my silence on this issue, I have seen the GBATemp threads and been giving some thought to a release. We'll see. As for IOSU, I have no idea what's going on with Hykem, but I have some work on IOSU ongoing.

thats nice to hear, really. But i will still wait patiently, you guys are doing an extremely great job, just take all the time you need

Would it possible to try finding out what's going on and update us if you get the chance? I'm not asking because of the exploit, I'm asking for his well being.

I could try (and may well do so), but I really don't want to focus on that drama here.

I am sure he wouldn't want a bunch more info about him going out there. If you find out everything is alright it would be nice to just hear that he is doing well.

Lol, that's what I meant to say, you just worded it a little better.... Oops...

 

[DeadlyFoez]

OK folks. So we are still at where we were over the past many months... not having an IOSU exploit. Nothing has changed on the end of the general public.

Move on now, nothing to see here.

I wonder

Could it be

He deleted his twitter so he didnt have to deal with all of you anymore

With the amount of people pestering and doubting his work.. Shit I'd leave too.

Added to that now he knows he has some crazy stalkers mining his personal data and doxxed, no wonder he should keep a low profile.

oops, prepare now for countless threads about "MN1 ISOU exploit when?"
and that's not a typo. ISOU not IOSU, as can be seen in lots of past threads about hykem

 

[BothyBhoy]

I sincerely hope we don't start on @Marionumber1 now. He is after all only considering it. So just leave the guy alone.....

 

[WeedZ]

Well, whoever steps up next, I'm sure they'll take this as a lesson to not get people hyped and start making promises before they're even close to having something to release. But, I figured they would have learned by now, so whatever.

This is Nintendo. Their biggest audience is young kids, not massive weebs. American culture isn't the same as Japanese culture, and the game ends up changed to compensate. The core story and gameplay is still the same, and a majority of other content remains. And this "censorship" only happens to majorly niche games anyways. Most other games remain unchanged, features-wise.


Not even joking, I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't mind the censorship. Is it because I'm the only one who isn't a massive weeb?

Yea except the core story isnt even close to the same, treehouse butchered the tone of the ENTIRE story, the plot really isnt even the same anymore, and the tone is so different the characters might as well be different people.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The "working for free" part seems to be what people most often forget.

I didnt know jacking yourself off about your super secret exploit was doing it for free.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

The keys are copyrighted, so I'm fairly sure it's illegal.

copyright law doesnt work that way though, you can be sued over copyright and go to jail if you cant pay.
now if hykem was selling the keys or something thats another matter altogether.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Being pissed at someone who is making this stuff for free that he and others have put in a lot of work into could probably be an actual definition of what it means to be a lesser human being. I mean, if you want something so badly, do it yourself. But I guess it's easier to be negative and get on other people's case when they own you nothing.

im sorry in what magical world do you live in where people actually do things for free?
Sure a small tiny fraction of the world does charity things truly for free, but most of them do it for some selfish reason or another, either to look better in the eyes of others, or for tax write offs, or because its fun for them.
And thats the issue here, hykem isnt doing this from the bottom of his heart, hes doing it because he enjoys the process of breaking a console, and probably because he enjoys the attention he gets from it, so while he is doing it for no monetary gain, that doesn't mean he isnt getting something out of it.

Everything done in the world is made with some purpose or motivation, even charity. And what is done without asking money for it is "done for free", no matter the motivation.
So if you hack a system because you enjoy hacking and because you enjoy the attention, but you don't ask something (specially money) in exchange, then you are doing it for free.

 

[funnystory]

The moral of the story here is that if you want attention fine,but make sure you have the product ready to release before you get everyone hot and ready. Nothing wrong with attention,but with this particular situation everyone lost. The scene community lost,hykem lost,Wii U enthusiast lost. Nobody won here, we all lost. Hykems name was slandered relentlessly and no hack ended up getting released. Worse of all which I think is very unfair to hykem,is that his personal information got leaked out. This comes to show that you can be a master at hacking and have a very high iq,but if you lack common sense bad things can happen to you.

I am not saying this is any in anyway right,but we live in a cruel world which unfortunately has no mercy on naive individuals. I hope future hackers can take the proper security measures in the future to avoid themselves from being caught in this terrible predicament. Hykems poor family is exposed now due to something they had absolutely nothing to do with,hykem unintentionally endangered the welfare of his family over something petty. It is not his fault,but you have to do everything in your power to protect those that you love. We do not live in a perfect world.
