I will add an option to ease this process in a future revision of the app.
Thank you so much. The option "Pack to CIA" are now working.

But sadly i already download alot of Nintendo 3DS games (151 Games) and can't covert all at once. When i go to "Downloaded" Select all 3DS Games and do "PACK/UNPACK (Loadiine or CIA)"
Every game will ask me where to save. Should be automatic.
"
There is any tools that i can use to convert "00000001.app 002 003 / title.tik / title.tmd" etc to .cia? And do all my 151 games at one shot?

Thank you man, you are great!!

Why don't you include the 2 cod games that aren't on the eshop in your app?
This utility is for downloading NUS titles. Why would they be listed when you already know that they can't be downloaded? (As more features get added to the app, it makes less sense for it to be limited to NUS titles, but where else would you expect the information about the title come from?)

According to the dump the error is
_message "The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform." string
It's possible that either the download got corrupted, which I believe is unlikely, or the application failed to ask elevated privileges (since you have installed it in Program Files). I would suggest that you try to install it in another location which does not require admin privileges like My Documents or your personal folder.
i install it on another desk drive and it worked thank you very much for your time and help

I've been having trouble since I tried setting up "New Super Mario Bros. U" to run with updates. It downloads the correct version of Cemu, but crashes at the title screen after pressing the "A" button. Does this program soft-patch the game, or actually patch it? I tried using another copy of Cemu that I manually downloaded (Even checked the version to make sure updates was supported, it was), and it didn't recognize the update when I tried using it to play the game.

Could it be possible to have an option to just decrypt the update files but not apply them, so we can do it ourselves? I'd like to see if manually updating the game would work, but every set of directions say to use NUSGrabber, which isn't working and hasn't been working for quite a while.

Hmm It's true that I did foresee the case in which an update would actually prevent the game from being playable on CEMU. It's still in dev so I guess that was to be expected. I don't believe it's because of USB Helper though, all it does is unpack the update in the right location.(mlc/...) So the game files are actually intact. This will only work with cemu 1.7.3d though.

You're quite welcome :)

The next update will now pack the cia to the default extraction directory so you will not be asked where to save them every time :)

Love this tool.

Is there a way to scan all my games and see if I'm missing any dlc or updates? Eg. if a new update comes out for a game that I've already downloaded.

Exactly what I wanted to ask. Else we'll have to manually note updates we did, and also manually check them one by one once in a while. It would be really cool if it could scan and check.

TIA

I am honestly as puzzled as you are regarding the issue since I am not able to reproduce it. Besides, I have not made any changes recently to this part of the app so somehow something must be different on your computer. Are you using a network drive? Can you make sure your AV is not preventing the app from operating properly?

No network drive and no AV. I tried deleting every single file associated with this program anywhere on my computer and still get the same issue after a redownload. Is there something hidden or something I must delete from the registry for a truly 'fresh' reinstall? I got everything in /Appdata for sure.

There are not registry entries for the app. The only thing left would be the settings in %localappdata%/Hikari06/ but I'm not sure it will solve the issue

Yeah this feature is planned, I'm not sure when I'll have time to implement it so please by patient :)

@Hikari06
Why does the upload dialog block the entire program? I want to do other things like downloads while uploading to the Wii U. It also does not allow you to open up another instance of the tool which is a pity. Can you maybe not make the uploader dialog modal or allow multiple instances of Wii U USB Helper?

One more thing, why can't you select where to install games to in Wii U USB Helper Transfer Tool? I usually want USB but it does NAND by default instead which is already full for me since I only have an 8GB Wii U so it's pointless and I need to switch over to WUP Installer GX2 for the installation.

Thanks. Great work :)

For anyone looking to get this running on a mac, here you go:



The android app is much more stable to run, and overall easier to setup. I will leave you to pick for yourselves.

Thanks for your awesome work @Hikari06

Granted, there aren't any on-screen instructions, but the buttons seem to work the same for me as in Wupinstaller y mod; A to sysnand, X to USB. Are you seeing different behavior?

Okay, I didn't know. It just didn't show up on-screen so it was unclear what's going to happen. Thanks though but Wii U USB Helper asks whether to install directly after transfer without prompting for NAND or USB so it doesn't work with USB, does it? Refer to this video in case you're unsure what I mean. I'm talking about the Wii U transfer and installation all-in-one.

It doesn't prompt, but the transfer tool is hardcoded to set InstallToUsb = 1. (@Hikari06, a prompt or a setting on the Advanced Settings panel would be helpful. I know it's a new feature, but it's apparently already confusing people.)

Of note in your video, you're using v0.4 of the Transfer tool. That version wouldn't support automatic installation anyway, because the INST command wasn't added until v0.6. That requirement is stated in Helper's changelog.

(@Hikari06, I think @pwsincd is the one you need to notify of updates so they get added to the appstore.)

Yeah as stated before the automatic installation is set to install only to USB for now. It's a new feature so I'd like to see how it performs before adding support for sysnand installation.

So when downloading and packing to cia, some games give error installing on my 3DS, DQVIII to be more specific, while other games install without problems.

What is the reason for this?
