Hacking Wii U audio dumping research thread

[Chadderz]

Well, with the state that things are now, they'll first have to find a way to get past the 5.1.1 barrier to be able to even get back online. Releasing the PPC hack right now would be harmless, that is, until someone finds a way to bypass the firmware requirement checks.

As people have already said, releasing the exploit now isn't harmless, if nothing else it gives people who haven't updated a platform to develop more exploits. It is almost impossible for Nintendo to prevent firmware checks being faked; they have no secure way to transmit a new key to the Wii U which couldn't be intercepted (with the common key), so cryptography can't help them, which means the check is likely something trivial.

It would be great if Chadders and/or MrBean could share their secrets to someone who's just out to get the music from games and nothing more. Has anyone tried asking nicely?

Wow, just noticed Chadderz is writing here, feel like a jackass.

I would, but I feel like doing some research first. Kinda like what I did with the 3DS. I feel that I should put in the effort to finding stuff first, then use the easy stuff later. I was contemplating sending him a really nice PM, but I'd feel like a freeloader, tbh. If it were the other way around (ie. Him offering stuff to me), I'd feel better, but I'd rather put in the effort first.

Where are the power up sounds located in the NSMBU music files?

That's not even remotely relevant... And this thread is deader than Michael Jackson.
