Where did the Wii-U source extract come from? I know there was some Wii source code dumped in May, 2020, but that was for the original Wii and nothing really that wasn't already known. That the source extract is s casually dumped suggests access to the code that the average person really couldn't dream of.
- Operyl 4y agoIt's all reverse engineered and manually re-labeled code from assembly. It's just .. an insane amount of work from the community :).
- flatiron 4y agothis isn't the first time the wii u has been hacked. the most common wii u hack was simply because only code was encrypted, not the assets. so someone was able to buffer overflow the Nintendo DS emulator by replacing the assets. You run the DS game, wii u reboots jailbroken. My guess is part of the initial jailbreak the OS was dumped and decrypted and what you are seeing is from ghidra not from C source.
- GaryOderNichts 4y agoLike the other two comments mention this was all reverse engineered by hand using ghidra. I don't think there was ever a source code leak for the Wii U anyways.
