'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.
