edit:
what you could do is :
use WUP server to copy the encrypted files to NAND or USB. (SD->USB is fast)
use install() command to install it to NAND or USB. I think you can give the path where the .app files are located.
This way you can "put the .app" in multiple session to the same folder before launching the install command.
You need twice as much space to do that (encrypted + decrypted size)
then delete the encrypted folder (if the installer is not doing it automatically when installed on NAND, it's doing it when installing legit eshop downloads, right?)
@Osakasan This way works, but you have to change install_title in wupclient.py to not have /vol/storage_sdcard/ hardcoded as a prefix.
These two lines:
Code:
    ret, data = w.MCP_InstallGetInfo(mcp_handle, "/vol/storage_sdcard/"+path)
    ret = w.MCP_Install(mcp_handle, "/vol/storage_sdcard/"+path)
Would need to be:
Code:
    ret, data = w.MCP_InstallGetInfo(mcp_handle, path)
    ret = w.MCP_Install(mcp_handle, path)
Wupclient commands are:
Code:
>>> mount_sd()
>>> w.mkdir('/vol/storage_usb01/usr/tmp/gameinst',0x777)
>>> w.cpdir('/vol/storage_sdcard/partial','/vol/storage_usb01/usr/tmp/gameinst')
>>> unmount_sd()
change SD card
>>> mount_sd()
>>> w.cpdir('/vol/storage_sdcard/partial','/vol/storage_usb01/usr/tmp/gameinst')
>>> install_title('/vol/storage_usb01/usr/tmp/gameinst',1)

I didn't look to see if the destination needs to exist, but it didn't hurt to make it.

I use /vol/storage_usb01/usr/tmp/gameinst as the cpdir destination, but if you do that, do the copies and the install in one session so your files don't get cleaned up on you before you have a chance to install.

The ,1 in the install_title command puts the install on USB. Make it a 0 for NAND.

When the install is done, switch user and pick the same user to refresh the menu.

The chncdcksn DNS Server has been shutdown permanently, and tubehax is down too.

What recommendations or solutions do you have for this situation?

OK, so, just did a ticket dump of Transformers Prime using FIX94's new tool (which is awesome by the way).

I then grabbed the files using NUSGRABBER.

I went to install it and it appeared it was going to install (saw the percent gauge on the screen) then I got an error 0xFFFCFFBF which is not listed above. This is the first time I've had an error installing any games.

Any insight on what this error code could mean?

You'll need to confirm that you renamed the ticket to title.tik, and that the key inside the ticket can successfully decrypt the files you downloaded. If you're not familiar with doing that, you could put the ticket somewhere that's not here and ask someone to test it for you, which would at least confirm that you have a working ticket and that the NUS files themselves are ok.

As I understand extracting the ticket with FIX94 tool it should be good to go
Yeah, if you got a ticket file, and used that file's name as the title you downloaded with NUSGrabber, I can't think of much that could be wrong with the ticket. After all, the titleid came from inside the ticket, and it has to match 00050000, so it's not like it's reading the wrong partition in this case. I tried a few of my own discs and the files were identical to those on that ticket site, but I understand that you don't have anything to compare to.

ok, so odd enough it's now working.

I ran it through Tik Modifier v1.2 and tried to install it and I got an error:
install error code 0xFFFBF442
Verify title.tik and WUP files are correct & complete

I then put back the original dumped ticket and tried to install it and it installed fine. :huh: That was my fourth attempt so not sure what made a different this time.

I'm using WUP Install Mod 1.2.1

Needless to say it's done....

Hi, my first post here.
I got same error everytime, 0xFFFCFFBF.

I was able to install one game few minutes ago, im checking if was size of sd that I use, 16gb instead of 128gb or if was title issue.

I will keep update tomorrow.

F.Y.I. WUP Install Mod 1.3 is out. Might be worth giving it a try.

I purchased some DLCs for Super Smash Bros Wii U on the eshop, but not all.
Can I now simply download all DLCs (including the ones that I have purchased) and install them on a signature check patched system?

Or is it dangerous to install DLCs with this method again, that I have already purchased and installed before?

To bw honest, both sd 16/128gb are now working and installing.. maybe was title issues or our of data wup installer.
any idea how can I update my games? is just do same steps and download update from nesgrabber and use install folder? or do I need mess with title files?

I updated the first post to add some links to useful and recently released tools, like a WUD dumper!
wudump, tik2sd and simple firm patcher.

I also updated the "redNAND only", now that you can easily patch the signature to SysNAND.
I wasn't sure about the DLC, but I suppose they can be installed on sysNAND too ? the user just has to run the signature patcher before launching the game, right?

there are maybe some incoherencies, as I added the wud dumper, but there could be references left to "it's not possible to dump a wud".
edit: thanks, Updated again to remove redNAND only features and add "cfw with sign patch" instead.

Yes everything that can be done on REDNAND can be done on SYSNAND too apart from installing system titles ofc

Nope I did it with hyrule warriors and absolutely no problems, however if you wanted to pay for future DLC for some reason you couldn't because you have forged ticket installed and they seem to be impossible to get rid of ATM so to get future DLC for the game you will have to just pirate it

Not 100% sure, but I think you can delete the ticket using wupclient or possibly ftpiiu_everywhere

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
