Some Wii U games and apps block the upload of screenshots to Miiverse and Web Browser. This plugin removes this restriction, it always allows screenshot uploads.
Note: this plugin has no relationship to the official Screenshot plugin from Aroma.
Just open any game or app that would normally prevent you from posting screenshots (like Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate), and try to upload them (to a web page, or to Miiverse); you'll see the screenshot of both gamepad and TV are available for posting.
Most free image upload websites on the internet use either JavaScript or SSL certificates that the Wii U's web browser doesn't support. To test image uploads, I created a test web server in Python/CherryPy that I run on my local network: https://github.com/dkosmari/imgupload-server . With this, you can upload screenshots directly to your PC.
If you got the source from a release tarball, you can skip step 0.
Build steps:
