Hello, my friend just bought a Wii U, I hacked it and everything, is ready to install games.

Now, I have my whole collection of games installed on mine, we don't want to break the internet by downloading 700GB of games.. (or the contract with my ISP lol)

Is there a way to extract my installed games into an installable format, alla Disc2App program?

Thanks

If you don't have the discs, then you have to re-download them using something like Wii U USB Loader. I highly doubt you have any need for 700GB of games though. The Wii U didn't have 700GB of good games.

I do have the discs :D went tru that process once TOO FREAKING SLOW. I was thinking that maybe dumping them from the HDD would be faster!

To my knowledge, if you can rip installed games from a HDD, it would have to be on the console itself and to the SD card.

Basically the answer to your first question is no, unless you rip all of the discs (legit) yourself with disc2app.

I mean In theory should be the exact same, something like DDD but modified to dump the specific title to the SD Card... remember when you used to use that program to dump your digital titles to SD for its use with Loadiine? Yeah, I was thinking something like that but converting it to APP files ready to install somewhere else...

Maybe @FIX94 knows what I'm talking about!

DDD may work, but over the network is slow, and it needs interaction per title, right?

Yes it does, you open the title, it gets stuck forever while its dumping the game files... and then when its done, it boots the game normally... (I don't remember if DDD was over network or SD Card) I would love to see a mod of that making it dump digital titles.... into App files

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
