Just a quick update, I don't know if you've seen it on the first post but I've recently added a new feature : game previews !
You can now have a loot at some screenshots before downloading your game, exactly as you are able to on the eShop :)
And if anyone is wondering, I'm still accepting beta testers !
I want to be a tester :)

Thanks to @gbamix for the awesome logo !

Update 30/10/16 Open Beta Started !

Alright guys, since the first open beta is now live I'd like people who are interesting in helping me debug the app to send me a pm !
But before you do please keep in mind that the application is still a WIP, and you will definitely encounter bugs. But isn't that the very purpose of a beta :P ?
Anyway, see you soon !


What does it do ?


This program is intended to help you download games from NUS and install them on your Wii U. It's a bit like NUS Grabber except that it does not rely on any external tool, almost everything has been reprogrammed from scratch with ease of use in mind.


What does it look like ?


Here is a screenshot from the latest debugging version :

As you can see, simple, clean, effective and most of all easy ! No need to use any console command !

Where can I get it ?


Unfortunately this is still a WIP so please stay tuned for more info very soon !
Update : Testers are now welcome ! Send me a pm if you want to check it out :)

What will I need to use it ?


You will need to provide the app with a certain RAR Archive(not individual tickets) of tickets from you know where to make it work.
Don't ask where to get it, it's against the rules !


How do I install downloaded games ?

I recommend that you use this tool. Just use the app to copy the games to you SD card and then launch the tool to install :)
Thanks for reading !
does this patch dlc like FunKiiU?

it will become easier.
I hope my crystal ball is still working.


real answer:
this is DAY 1 !
it's still in development.
do the math ;)

I already told you : let the things cool down!
Don't try or want everything right now when something is new.
the "usb install" method, I'm still rewriting the guide every day because there's a new method every day for the last 10 days! it's always becoming easier day by day. just wait.
(not sure how many time I said it! haha)

No, and you're right, I do apologize for that, I just hate the feeling of having to catch up with others, like, almost a kind of feeling of being left behind in the dust, you know? The Wii U scene
was a ticking time bomb and guides/threads are popping up all over the place and here I am trying to keep up with all of it, not a good idea for me to do :lol: So I apologize for being antsy about it,
I'll let things settle a bit before I try RedNAND. In the mean time, I still have the USB installation method, besides, I can't use RedNAND anyway due to me not having a big enough card :P

Not bad... But I wish someone would just make an app like this with an automated ticket grabber that's totally transparent from the user. And you wasted the opportunity to own "WiiUSB" for the name, LOL. (Reminds me of those S'mores Oreos that should have been called S'mOreos.)

Hmm, problem with that is hosting such a program would be illegal, as tickets need to be done outside this site, or at least, maybe it tickets could be spoofed.

Well if it wasn't for legal issues I would have done it too. But by including the tickets directly you are taking some risks.

you know?
I really know!
I'm trying to follow all this scene news so I can help everyone correctly, that's sometime going too fast. specially when I'm sleeping ahah

it doesn't mean you can't read about it, just don't try things yet. let other try, and see their result. judge by yourself if it became easy enough for you.
also, if it doesn't become easier, wait for users to make good tutorial to explain properly and clearly what to do. currently it's not aimed at end users but at developers! the team said it and repeated it few times!
it's still in development.

That's what I'm saying, this is very new and we will have users who will create tools to make things easier. look at that USB install method, there are now tools with GUI, it took 10 days.

I don't say it will take 10 days for redNAND too, it could take longer.

The app would grab the tickets from an external ticket site, yes "that ticket site". No tickets would be bundled with the app, so it would be fine to release.

Yeah but that ticket site hosts too many invalid tickets. I think many people would agree the archive is more reliable. What's more you just have to drag an drop it on the app, it's not very hard :)

True, you did make everything very easy. Thank you for this. I'll use it over nUSGrabber. :)

Quick Q, I have some tickets to try the DLC but havent been able to figure out the RAR structure to add the tickets.

Any help would be appreciated.


NVM, figured it out.

In case anyone has doubts:

In the rar file add a folder inside the game folder with the DLC Ticket and named as the ID of the DLC, this is the same ID as the game but the 8th digit is a C instead of a 0. Make sure all letters are in uppercase as this is required for Hexadecimal reading.

Example:

Hyrule Warriors ID: 000500001017D800
Hyrule Warriors DLC ID: 0005000C1017D800

This kinda looks like the 3DS freeshop just for Windows (is that a good summary?).
Fantastic stuff! ;)
