Since you fixed the bug, I would suggest you remove this : "Crap just found a major bug in 1.0 if the game has sub directories. If you have sub directories, it will double copy the files. Back to the drawing board."

Because it only confuses people who want to use it first time.

maybe replace it with : "v1.0 has a bug blabla, just download latest version and it should fix it"

Nice little program. Any chance of adding direct .WUD to SD card support?

I haven't thought about it, but I kinda got started on an all in one Wii U game manager, just lost interest since my Wii U sd slot doesn't write to the sd card (its broken).

I may come back to it again though, this app would be integrated into the game manager app.

Quit wasting time bitching like a panzy then and code some of it. JUST KIDDING, I SWEAR!

Couldn't resist! Either way, hope you get to work on it at some point. The assistant program has come in handy for VCs I had collected/made. So thanks for that. :)

Nice! Even if it helped just 1 person I'm happy! I thought it would be nice to use for myself and figured I'd leave it out there for everyone to enjoy. Plus learning to code is an asset, even though its just visual basic.

Awesome work so far! Glad you shared this, heres some more ideas if you wanna make this program the go-to loadiine companion app.

auto-convert WUX to WUD (needs wudcompress.exe) or support RAR5 files, or vice-versa (compress WUD to RAR5 or WUX)
extract the WUD to RAW files (needs DiscU - may be problem to distribute)
auto-remove the WUD file once extracted (thinking file size comparison similar to PS tools/PS3 ISO building so you know its successful)
move system folder into data and rename data folder to game name (think game name is stored in an XML. Best to keep everything extracted from WUD I think, those tik files are handy)
Copy the renamed folder(s) to SD in loadiine fashion
Select SD card size (8,16,32,64,128,256GB) and 'fill' any SD card by selecting WUD/WUX/RAW/RAR files/folders. Either auto-stop once filled or somehow have a database or table of game sizes to calculate when it'd be full. (just a neat idea, no clue on implementation)
Incorporate nusgrabber to auto-fetch and apply decrypted game updates. (grab/format titleID from the xml files. again, may be a problem to distribute nusgrabber)

Ideally it'd be awesome to run this and select a or several WUX/WUD files and have it spit the data needed onto and SD card with NUS updates without any user intervention. It'd be the ultimate loadiine assistant.
I know most of this is possible with a good batch script but I'm not great with scripting, especially passing file names or values from wuxcompress to discu for example.

Hello all,
Here is a little application I wrote that will copy your extracted WiiU games to SD card in proper loadiine fashion.

Usage is simple - fill in all the details and click Go. Nothing fancy (yet) but does its job as far as I can tell.

Here is the usage:

v1.51
*added loadiine v4 format

sd:\wiiu\games\[game name] [ID6]
sd:\wiiu\games\[game name] [ID6]\code
sd:\wiiu\games\[game name] [ID6]\content

sd:\wiiu\saves\[game name] [ID6]\c\
sd:\wiiu\saves\[game name] [ID6]\u\


SD Card Path - This is your SD card path, you can click the button and select it OR enter it manually.

Data Path - choose the "data" folder in your extracted back up. This folder should contain "code", "content" and "meta". These folders will be selected automatically, but if needed you can still change the path.

Game Name - Can be anything you want, I like scene names so for example - DuckTales.Remastered.USA.WiiU-FAKE (proper loadiine format is [game name] [ID6] now)

Click Go and it should begin the process. Some key notes:

*Creates needed folders
*Copies all files from content and code, including sub folders


I hope someone gets some use of this! Feel free to PM me on the 'Temp with any issues/questions.

To Do list:
*add progress bar - DONE
*clear boxes upon finish - DONE
*prob fix some bugs, I'm sure there are some - 4/??? squashed
*fix progress bar
*calculate free space and game size before copy starts - DONE

in action!

v1.1 uploaded - bug fix
v1.2 uploaded - added check to ensure proper copy was done, cleared text when done
v1.21 uploaded - added sanity checks, allows user to cancel before copying
v1.3 uploaded - added basic progress bar
v1.4 uploaded - now uses loadiine v4 file structure!
v1.5 uploaded - uses meta folder, new look and more automatic functions
v1.51 uploaded - added gameid and check for free space


This may be the last version, I really want to fix the progress bar but every time I start to research I get lost in code :( It's doing what I intended from the start though for me and that was my goal, if someone else gets benefit from this app then that's an awesome bonus!

great effort for a learner. very well done you!!! my advice is to keep at it youll get there in the end....and hey!!! thank you...
