Yea, true. but from what I know, you can use the NUSGrabber for wii u games
Yeah, I meant this can't be used for digital-only titles yet. But yeah, I know about JNUSTool and NUSGrabber, you can't download nearly everything there, including digital only titles, but those won't work with this WUD's tik method because they don't have WUDs since they aren't discs.

Anyone know if the games leaves any traces on the Wii U? I remember when using wads on the Wii, even removing the game leaves the ticket in the system.
Presumably, the 3ds has ticket.db which works the same way with cias as well, but Nintendo hasn't looked at those so the risk is up in the air.

Yea, i'd say if possible, and if you believe that it will be released on Monday (in the case that I do, and if it isn't, i'll be disappointed, but not angry), it should disable sig checks and allow you to install it to a external flash drive and add it to the Rednand system menu.

okay i love to triple check i guess, sooo the nusgrabber full titles will work with the upcoming rednand yahh? because i dont want to be re-downloding huge titles xD

I think this is more like putting "discs" inside your hard drive, since it needs you to edit TIK files only found with WUDs (physical disc images). So, Nintendo would only see them as "discs inserted in your system". I don't think the ticket is in the System at all, since it would show as "Redownloadable" from the eShop, even if they failed at some point if you tried to redownload.

This happened with the 3DS, it showed games as re-downloadable, even if you installed a bad CIA, because the title was in fact installed, and the CIA format had to install a ticket to ticket.db. It isn't the same as it's happening here.

Sneaking to answer, @realg123 when you download the update, a ticket will come with the update. ONLY USE THIS TICKET WITH THIS UPDATE!
Thank you for the quick response. I'm assuming we can download the updates from nusgrabber and install it the same way as installing a game? I don't see a title.tik file with the update

Thank you! These installs have nothing to do with eshop titltes then.

Im getting a folder thats 878 mb big. mario maker is over 2gb so i dont think that this is right.
Just wondering, what version number did you use? I ended up only downloading the update. Was it v0?

"00050000" is for games, while "0005000E" is for updates.

You don't need to put version if it's a game you're downloading. Just be sure it says "00050000" and not "0005000E"

Mario Maker weights, in fact 878 MB when downloaded, by the way. It simply "extracts" its content when installing, so it uses more space than that, even without updates.

Also, I don't have a HDD, there shouldn't be a problem if I install the game directly on my wii u memory as long as I've got enough free space right?
