Wii U hacked and CPU clock speed revealed, apparently.

I'm also wondering about what kind of hack allowed him access to this information. There's one of 2 possibilities:

1) He hacked into WiiU mode, and wrote homebrew to report the clock speeds of CPU and GPU.

2) He used the already vulnerable vWii and made the same query.

Both situations have a very interesting big picture meaning. If 1) is true, then WiiU mode is hackable and possibly heavily exploitable. But if 2) is true, it means that the vWii isn't a secure sandbox and that access to the extra hardware features are possible from within Wii mode.

Either are exciting prospects.

Speaking of vWii vulnerability, do you know of any methods to get Homebrew Channel working on there again? My save file for Zangeki no Reginleiv migrated over, but obviously i can't play the game at the moment (not that i really need to, with NSMBU still to finish, a few more days of tooling around in Nintendoland, then Ninja Gaiden, then Batman, then Link to the Past that i bought with the last of my virtual console moneys, then the gifted copy of KOTOR II... I just want to know that i can in the future)
