Yes, it's a development branch so i'll not publish a release or a RC until it's stable and deserve it.

I was not able to make a fw.img because armips do not build on my computer I guess you were working on Windows.

Benoit934 · Nov 19, 2016

UPDATE:
I was able to build the fw.img by using GNU GCC and I had fixed the refreshing issue and the chained install

You can download the RC1 here : https://github.com/benoit934/wupinstaller/releases/tag/uf1.1.0

It's working with the new and the old HBL

Hi

I have the games files located in an install folder on the SD card and in the WupInstaller it says install <??> and when pressing X nothing happens.

Also in the download files for the WupInstaller app what is the DB sub-folder for? Does that need to be on the SD card as well?

Thanks

The <??> issue may be caused by a corrupted tie file of any other issues.

The weird thing is that you should be able to select the directory and run the installation even if there is an error with the resolving

May you send me your TIK from 0x1DC to the next 8 bytes and your directory listing because I never noticed that kind of issues.

Sorry not sure what you mean by this? You want me to send you the TIK file for the game I was trying to load ?

Attached is a screen shot of the files on the SD card.

Thanks

I didn't tried this way I always organise my SD card like :
/sd/install/UPDATE_{ID}/
/sd/install/HBL_Installer/
/sd/install/{ID}/

After all this mod is useless if you do not organise your files, but i'll try to fix this issue with the next release

cw-kid · Nov 19, 2016

OK thanks I will move the files in to a sub-folder of /install and try again.

Thanks! Will we find the newer versions on Homebrew Appstore? I think it's a big improvement to Y Mod (which was cool already).

The first file is not properly named (leading dot).

It's not up to me but I asked Pwsincd

The first file is an hidden file, maybe a index or a temporary file, if there is an error with the content it's said by MCP_GetLastRawError

Let's hope the appstore will be updated soon.

I know it's hidden but I didn't notice the underscore after the dot. I believe macs create those files. I'm still curious if removing the file would help (how does WUP installer handle unneeded files?).

Benoit934 · Nov 19, 2016

There is a file descriptor for the wup packages so all junk files are just ignored

Ah, cool! I had the idea because having a unneeded file in sd/install/ while installing from sd/install/{id} did result in errors with Y Mod for me. Didn't try to reproduce it with UF Mod, tho.

Benoit934 · Nov 19, 2016

Yes it may stumble if it's data files but I did put hidden files without getting an error I think it only watch for H3 and APP files, and after all the descriptor avoid to install corrupted files, the installation start and throw an error when a bad file is detected, so you always copy cleans datas.

The process is handled by an OS function, we just tell where the files are located and the installation destination (with some initialisations) and it do the job

Hi

I moved the game files in to a subfolder on the SD card

Install\game1

Now in the WupInstaller it detected the name of the game and after this is says --EUR-- <VERSION : 0>

I pressed the A button to select it with * and then pressed X button to install it.

However it only got to 14.2MB and errors.

Error: install error code 0xFFFBF442
Verify title.tik and WUP files are correct & complete

I am pretty sure all the files are on the SD card OK and I can't see any hidden files on there either. I tried loading the game to USB and NAND but it stops at the same place each time.

I then created a new \game2 folder on the SD card and loaded the files for another game in to the Install\game2 folder.

I then tried to install this game in the WUPInstaller and I am getting this error.

Install of title 00000000-00000000 failed.
Error: Not a game, game update, DLC, demo or version title.

Also for game2 it didn't seem to detect its name like it did for game1 see attached photo.

Thanks

Benoit934 · Nov 24, 2016

If you TIK file is randomly corrupted that may be an issue with your SD card or with copying process, you can check if the files on your SD and on your computer has the same checksum and names

75mak · Nov 24, 2016

the all in one app would be ideal USED in conjunction with sysNAND patched firmware which blocks system updates

Can you add the option to install from USB instead of the SD? It will be highly appreciated.
