Hacking [RELEASE] Wii U USB Helper, a small eShop for Windows !

[Edgarska]

edit2; @Hikari06 would it be possible for user defined folders as i downloaded 3ds games (that i own of course) before you changed the folder structure, meaning my games are region mixed and the titles don't reveal the region so now i'm stuck with all my games in "ESHOP" folder and not seen by your application which now looks for "USA" or "EUR" i would assume.
Mods; theres a bug which caused this double post. i did not double post.

There's a button to change the download folder and the extract folder, at the bottom. Click on "Commands"

yes i know that but it doesn't help as the application creates it's own sub-directories, which as i said have been changed by hikari06. e.g : 1. i set folder to E:\ 2. the app automatically creates E:\DATA_3DS\USA\ESHOP to store usa games.
But on earlier revisions the app only created E:\ESHOP and put games from all regions in the same folder. so now, when i set folder to E:\ it doesnt find any games that i have. also when i set folder to E:\ESHOP it finds nothing.
I can get around this now, by simply moving my games into E:\DATA_3DS\EUR\ESHOP then setting my folder to E:\ again, it finds my games, at least games for the region of the folder name.

You must have been using a reaaaally old version of the app though since the last time I changed directory structure was in December, way before I added the 3ds feature. You can easily use the import feature if you want the app to automatically rearrange your wii u games. It shouldn't be required for 3ds ones though since no change was made.

I have an issue. USB Helper isn't decrypting 零 ～濡鴉ノ巫女～ [AL5J] (Fatal Frame V) at all, probably an issue with japanese characters and Cdecrypt.

Yeah it's most likely because of special characters, I'll see what I can do.

I have a problem with the .cia-packer for 3DS-games. After I pick the location to put my .cia in I see a loading-screen flicker in and out of existence and then nothing happens most of the time.
Apparently, after a lot of testing, it seems to work only with games without special signs in their name like ™, ® or : (and sadly there are a lot of games with these signs).
Renaming when converting doesn't help e.g. even if I rename "Mega Man Legacy Collectioncia.cia" (which works) as "Test.cia" in the save-dialog it still comes out as "Mega Man Legacy Collection.cia" after saving so it seems logically that the other games never turn up.

--------

Edit: Another thing that turned up was that I could pack "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy" as well by removing the ":" from the name in the saving dialog because the savefolder is "Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy" as well (and therefore also the .cia produced). Doesn't work for ™ and ® though because the savefolder has those as well (and renaming makes the USB Helper not find them anymore).

 

[Edgarska]

So apparently USB Helper only dumps saves from the USB drive connected to Wii U, not NAND?
I got it with saviine anyway, but it would be nice to do everything only with USB Helper.

About 2 weeks ago I tried to download usb helper and to day but the link is death. Am I doing something wrong? Is it only me? How do you download it?

The Save Manager feature is only experimental right now but I don't think I will suport dumping saves off the mlc chip because that would require me to mount it and expose it to ftp and I don't want to give inexperienced users the ability to brick the systems inadvertently:/

Issues with special characters will be addressed in the next revision of the app.

Just use the link on the first post, I've just checked it's working fine

Do you mean DOWNLOAD NOW? It does not work it says something about DNS

That's fine then, it's just one more step. What I'd really like is for the ability to copy just the save to USB without copying all the game data, I don't know what experimental drug Nintendo were on when they did that.

Hey there.

When I try to install Mario Maker with WUP installer, after using this, I get "exception type dsi occurred" followed by lots of text. Any idea why?

Thanks!

Yup, but here is the direct link : http://application.wiiuusbhelper.com/Updater.exe

Yeah, that's Nintendo alright...

Are you using Wup Installer Mod Y or the original version?
You can always try installing it with Wii U USB Helper Transfer Tool.

 

[Kladde]

Thanks Hikari that worked. But why I could not download. It was the same on smart phone and other browser.

 

[Bvarela]

Hi, getting this error always when I launch the program then it closes itself. Can i get some help? thanks

That's a great idea, it works super slow for me, but if that's what I gotta do, so be it! Lol. I'm using WUP GX2 Installer, from the Homebrew channel, apologies.. new to all of this lol.

It's possible that shorte.st (the url shortening service I'm using) is blocked on your network.

You can install games directly from the SD card with it, you don't necessarily have to transfer them.

I would advise you to reinstall the .net framework.

mount it and expose it to ftp

You should be able to change your FTP server to only expose the save path. If you needed to, you could add a SITE command to dynamically add a virtual dir pointing only to the specific title.

True.
Right now the feature is nothing more than an extra but I'll look into that

 

[DestWell]

Hi. @Hikari06 could you add an option to automatically pack 3ds games into.CIA? Thanks!
