no advice to download pirated games here.

What to do next? read the first post, or the readme provided with loadiine.
there are different guides, and someone (or more users) is writing a noob guide. it will be posted when he complete it.
But there's really nothing hard, just read the readme.
just extract files to correct folders
OK. I see. New to forum...haha. And last question.
So, with the loadiine, dumpiine and roms, I can get every files necessary, right?
Happy to receive your help. Enjoy here. Hope there are many other like you:)

like I said previously :
TCPGecko : extract files from your disc
dumpiine : extract executable from your disc
loadiine : load extracted files instead of SSBU.
Just want to add, some games may not dump through TCPgecko. I can't get Batman or Walking Dead to stay connected when I hit Read FSA. So not all games will dump this way, unless Im having really horrible luck.

I've tried different menus/locations in game by the way, incase anyone was wondering.

Does cafiine dumping feature have the same issue?
but if it crash at reading the FSA, you might not know the filename to dump.
cafiine doesn't see any files. it's not interested. :)

golden45 said it might be same thing as splatoon. 0xa000000 needing remapped to 0 or something. I looked around in the code, but I can't really see how to do that without breaking it.

Also, don't need to know a name of any file to use "Read FSA" button. That's what the button is for, to list the files so you can dump them.

Great stuff.
Got a couple of questions:
1. How can I create/extract RPX and RPL files from a (downloaded) Wii-U ISO file?
2. Is it possible to load Loadiine without Smash Bro?
Thanks

I meant that you need the path and file name to dump it with cafiine (file by file basis).
So if you can't "read FSA" then you can't get the path to use it in cafiine.

1. How can I create/extract RPX and RPL files from a (downloaded) Wii-U ISO file?
2. Is it possible to load Loadiine without Smash Bro?
1. use DiscU or WiiUwizard to extract file from a wud. you will need the corresponding title key. (usually provided with the nfo or the wud file)

2. You can use loadiine with only MiiMaker, but you won't have SD access. network only has very slow loading time (800KB/s) and low compatibility.
only Smash Bros grant SD access (because that's the only game which use SD access officially), either disc or eshop version will work.

You need to make the folder for the games title ID otherwise caffiine won't be interested....but tbh the dumping process with caffiine is not really practical for dumping an entire game as it involves making dummy -request files for every file on the disk.....and unless you can read the FSA you could only find out the name/directory of files as and when the game requests them

I'm pretty sure I did have the folder made, but I'll try again. Not like it can hurt. And yes, it's definitely a horrible way to make a dump.

Alright! I got the video out there finally. I added some annotations, added a bunch of stuff to the description, so I think i'm done. If there's anything you guys see that I should add, let me know. Otherwise, here we go (I think it would be best to view on YouTube because of the annotations and description, but it's not necessary).



@mariogamer and @Summersett I know you wanted to add it to the OP of your individual threads, so just letting you know it's done.

Edit: I did make one small mistake at the 5:34 minute mark. I named a folder _save when it should be named _SAV. That's the only issue, everything else is correct!

Edit 2: Also, I'm obviously not an artist so the thumbnail is... Meh. I'll probably change it later but anybody else can feel try to try their hand at it.

Edit 3: And this is my 100th video! Yay!

Edit 4: First comment was: "WHEN WILL 5.4.0"

Cool, you should make a thread for that in the Tutorials section

This may be a stupid question, but does Loadiine not allow us to play online? I'm trying to check out the DLC in MH3U, and I get a 102-2106 Error.

I need some pointers guys! I've tried two different SD cards but they fail at initializing the save data, verified by using the loadiine server.

I launched duck tales - loads fine - but when it goes to write the save data I get a Wii U error. Same applies to any other games I've tried.

Today I have some free time so I tried launching normally - failed. I then went into settings, deleted any smash save data, launched the kexploit/loadiine again, launched the game and still failed.

Am I missing something?

    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
