Tutorial  Updated

Play SSB, MK8 and other games All Unlocked on sysnand without CFW or AOCPtcher

This guide needs at least one legit DLC from each game you try. It works with FREE DLC too for other games like Mario Kart 8 and Zelda BOTW!!

In this tutorial I'll show you how to play Super Smash Bros with all DLCs unlocked without start a CFW or AOCPatcher for this. It should work with others games with multiple DLC like Wii Sports Club, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors and others. Of course you need a legit DLC from game you want to play.

For Mario kart 8 detail follow this link:

For Zelda BOTW follow:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/play-zelda-botw-with-all-dlc-for-free-without-cfw.469520

What you need:
  • At least one DLC bought in eshop. Anyone works. (needs a legit DLC)
  • Mocha CFW, Haxchi CFW, or any other SigPatcher (just in the beginning)
  • WiiU App Store (or Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 +
    Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher

    )
  • WiiU USB Helper
  • SD Card
  • PC
  • Hex Editor (HxD for Windows)
1 - First if you have any illegitimate SSB DLC installed, just delete it using using Data manager on WiiU Config
2 - Buy any DLC on eshop (the cheaper one?)
3 - Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32
4 - Download the DLC of SSM of your region with WiiU USB Helper and put it in your SD card in na folder called "install" in the root.
5 - Go to Homebrew Launcher and choose App Store or go to wiiubru.com/go on you browser and choose App Store. If you don't know what's Homebrew Launcher is give a look in this guide (parts I, II and III) and choose start App Store.
6 - In App Store Download Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 + Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
7 - Launch Homebrew Launcher and go to Mocha_CFW (use default options). Then go to WUP Installer GX2 and choose install the DLC of SSB you just download wherever is your game (nand or USB).
8 - Back to Homebrew Launcher, go to Tik2SD and backup your tickets. Put your SD in PC and look at tik2sd folder. Open keys.txt and search where your SSB DLC is installed. The name you need to search is 0005000c10144f00 or 0005000c10145000 or 0005000c10110e00. In my case (US) it says "0002/00000012.tik".
9 - Now it's time for hex editing.
Use the link from www.marcrobledo.com/wiiu-tik-fixer/ (thanks @marc_max )
open the folder and in tik2sd wich the ticket from you game is , than drop on the site above, you gonna see 2 tickets, click in fix, and download the file , than go to step 10.
If you want to do manually, then thanks to @Rahzadan we have a VERY detailed tutorial for it. Go to this thread and after the hex editing go to step 10 below.
If you followed the @Rahzadan tutorial or used the @marc_max website above, go to step 10. I'll keep this part only for log
purpose.

Locate your ticket in your SD card according with keys.txt. Open with an hex editor (in my case it's on 0002 folder and the name is 00000012.tik. Backup the ticket.

Look that you gonna have 2x finds in the key.txt file. In my case 0002/00000012.tik@0x6a0 and 0002/00000012.tik@0x0. The number after the "@" shows where the ticket starts inside the tik file. It means probably the fake ticket is in beginning of tik (0x0) file and my legit ticket starts in 0x6a0 (note is in hexadecimal)

The fake ticket is like this, a lot of same numbers:

Pay attention in the blue highlight. It shows the game ID, it means this ticket is from SSM US version. If it says a number other than 0005000c10144f00, 0005000c10145000 or 0005000c10110e00 it means the ticket is from another game!

The trick here is swap the fake ticket with the legit ticket, that way the legit ticket always come first in the tik file! This picture can demonstrate what I mean:

Maybe there's another game ticket inside the tik file, maybe not. Anyway, just copy and past with your hex editor the fake ticket with the legit ticket. Pay attention and don't touch other game tickets in the tik file!

After the swap save your ticket in your PC.
10 - Now put your SD back in WiiU. Open Homebrew Launcher and launch FTPiiU_everywhere (make sure you had launch Mocha CFW or other CFW before that)
11 - Go to your SSBM ticket location inside WiiU memory using a FTP browser like FileZilla or even Windows Explorer with the IP of your WiiU. Its in "storage_slc/rights/ticket/apps/xxxx/xxx.tik". Replace that ticket with the one you just modified.
12 - Open your SSB game and enjoy play with all contents without CFW!

TL;DR: Buy a cheap DLC, install all DLC packet with a fake ticket, locate your ticket inside WiiU, swap the legit ticket with the fake ticket inside the tik file so that the legit ticket appears first.

Thank to @nexusmtz, @Wuigi and @Madridi

So... I believe the free language pack from Zelda BOTW is a DLC. I can't test because I bought the DLC. CN anyone test it for me? If I'm right we can use this method for BOTW too :D
Grabbed it from eShop. I'll check the ticket when the download finishes. (I don't currently have the game installed, so I won't be able to do a full test right away.)

So, in theory since i had the Mercedez Benz DLC and the first Season Pass for Hyrule Warriors legit from the Eshop and then installed their respective DLCs with Wup installer later on, that means i can just grab the tik file, swap around the Tickets, replace with Fptii Everywhere and it would work right?

Yes. You need both tickets to be present, and the legit one has to be first.

Do .tik files ever get placed on an external USB drive or are they always located in storage_slc on the NAND?

Wait... Is this piracy? I need to know this before I try it..
If you'd be getting something that you didn't pay for, put whatever label you want on it. If your cousin smashed your router after changing over your WiiU to his account and deleting yours, but all you have is a ticket backup from when you only owned one DLC for the game, but you've since actually bought all of the DLC, and just have no way to get to eShop because of the router, then it's probably not.

I see... I have the some DLC for smash, not all of the characters, and while it might sound GREAT to get the rest for free, I'm not gonna do something illegal. :P

Thanks!

I know this is kinda dumb to ask, but I just wanna confirm.

I have Hyrule Warriors (retail disc) + first season pass / updates / saves (all from e-shop, saved on NAND). I don't have the second season pass installed.

So, I just need to download all the DLC files from Wii U USB Helper, install with WUP installer (on NAND), dump tickets and change my .tik to put my legit ticket before the fake ticket.

Questions:
- Since I have the season pass, I'll probably have more than one legit ticket in the same file (?), do I have to put the fake ticket after all my real ones or just one? Rahzadan's tutorial mentions tickets from different games...
- DLC for Hyrule Warriors is handled a bit different than some games (DLC files are just to unlock content already present on game/updates), is it really okay to just download the dlc files?
- Will I lose anything related to my legit purchased DLC? (I know this is a dumb question, but...)

I already have plenty of experience messing with HxD, tickets, ftpiiu everywhere and stuff, but I need to be sure about this game (I have over 600h played). Thanks in advance!

You install the latest DLC. You don't have to track down multiple DLC titles for one game.
Since I have the season pass, I'll probably have more than one legit ticket in the same file (?)
No, you'll have one ticket with multiple flags set toward the bottom. You could have multiple tickets for the same DLC title if you have different NNIDs linked to different accounts on the same Wii U, but that is uncommon.
Rahzadan's tutorial mentions tickets from different games...
Yes, there can be more than one title in the ticket bucket file. Just make sure that the DLC title's legit ticket comes before that DLC title's fake one. Intervening tickets can stay where they are (but it doesn't seem to matter if you want to group a title's tickets together - if you know what you're doing.)
DLC for Hyrule Warriors is handled a bit different than some games (DLC files are just to unlock content already present on game/updates), is it really okay to just download the dlc files?
Of course you had to have installed the game and update, but you don't have to re-download and reinstall them.
Will I lose anything related to my legit purchased DLC?
No, but even if you did, you just replace your ticket bucket file with the original (which you should save) and reinstall the DLC without having a title.tik in the install directory.
...but I need to be sure about this game (I have over 600h played).
You should back up your save. That's more important than the DLC. Tickets you can always get back. Saves, you can't.

Finally, nobody has said that they've lost anything by doing this, but if you're going to do it, you have to accept whatever hidden risk there might be.

Thanks for your reply!

I kinda asked this because some people say you need to uninstall previous versions before? (I never cared about this with backup games tho)

No, you'll have one ticket with multiple flags set toward the bottom. You could have multiple tickets for the same DLC title if you have different NNIDs linked to different accounts on the same Wii U, but that is uncommon.
That makes sense. I'm not in that edge case but thanks for clarifying!

Yes, there can be more than one title in the ticket bucket file. Just make sure that the DLC title's legit ticket comes before that DLC title's fake one. Intervening tickets can stay where they are (but it doesn't seem to matter if you want to group a title's tickets together - if you know what you're doing.)
Asked this because I thought it'd be nice to group them together just in case, but then I could just redump them and locate the fake one again, right? I'd rather not mess too much with it even with backups.

No, but even if you did, you just replace your ticket bucket file with the original (which you should save) and reinstall the DLC without having a title.tik in the install directory.

You should back up your save. That's more important than the DLC. Tickets you can always get back. Saves, you can't.

They're all safe in 2 diff locations ATM :D

I was worried I'd play with the fake method then something would go wrong and I'd have to reset my save to the backup or somehow it'd mess with something that I didn't have a backup for (forcing me to use my NAND backup), if that makes sense. But it's OK I guess, I wasn't playing anything other than BOTW for the last two months, I'll take those risks.

Thanks again!

EDIT: FYI -- it worked (so far :P).

The free DLC work too?
I have Sonic Lost Worlds and the game have free DLC, is the same for this? Works in another game like SSB4?

(¿Funcionan los DLC gratuitos? Tengo Sonic Lost Worlds y ese juego tiene un DLC gratuito, ¿Funcionará igual? ¿Funciona en otros juegos como SSB4?)

IGNORE, PLEASE.
I read again the tutorial and this is only for a DLC for each game... Thanks anyway
