Expected.
The Wii U was already hacked before the release but the guys needs to work in the reverse reverse engineering to decode the "language" talked inside the system... 5 months of work and now they can do everything they wants.
I expected some update to run Blu-Ray movies soon in the Wii U driver.
How is it that they still haven't hacked the 3DS though? That surprises me. I think the PS4 will be hacked pretty easily too. 720 may be not so much because they're pushing the always online thing it seems.

Is a proprietary disc drive, It can only play Wii U and Wii disc. For you to play Blue Ray discs on the Wii U will require to completely change the disc drive, and that will result in not being able to play Wii U games (unless you download them).

I would really like to be able to watch Blu-Ray movies on my Wii U/having them beamed to the controller screen.
There could be also all sorts of neat things done with the wireless Wii U video signal ... like perhaps it could be expanded.

Why? Wii U uses a Bly-ray drivers with a proprietary filesystem.... the hack just needs to make the Blu-ray drive read the standard Blu-ray filesystem. Nothing different from what we saw in the Wii with DVD. |
That will only be possible if the proprietary disc drive doesn't differ too much form an actual blue ray disc drive. It probably can be done, but at the expense of probably not being able to play Wii U games.

"A modchip doesn't magically make the console able to run custom code (e.g. a GC or PS2 emulator), it just tricks the existing system software into running the code it can already load from a different place (i.e. it can ONLY run "legit", signed games, and it will ONLY run them if the system menu would have loaded them anyway i.e. they have to be from the correct region). "
No they can't do "everything they wants", IF this is legit they still only can play backups. Bad enough as it is, but still with Region Lock and no true Homebrew. Also, the Xbox360 also was "hacked" pretty fast and piracy didn't phase it very much. The fact that you'll have to pay (likely relatively much) money for it will turn many people off.

I think 3DS was hacked late 2012... it play ROMs (illegal copies) already with the hack. |
Source? I know about rumors of people hacking the 3DS, with a public release by mid or end of this year. I'm pretty sure R4 doesn't work with the 3DS.
