Hacking Wii U image (WUD) compression tool

[Mr. Mysterio]

You say your algorithm made them incompatible with DiscU, does that mean it worked differently than Exzap's program does? He claims his program allows them to still be compatible, so I'd assume it's different, but I'd still like to be sure before I go around compressing my WUD folder.

Unless Exzap's program includes a windows disk driver or an alternative to DiscU, a WUD will have to be decompressed before it can be extracted.

 

[Captain_N]

Was it just due to how your technique worked? I'd hate to compress the .wuds and not be able to easily use them anymore. (But this 186GBs is seriously killing me, I should invest in a better HDD)

only 186 gbs? lol thats nothing try 2.4 TBs.

Damn, thanks for the info.

Holy fuck, dude.

Holy fuck, dude.

lol ya its what my servers are for

So you're super serious about this kinda thing, I've just got a single 500GB drive for game storage. All my other backups combined aren't even 180GBs.

Glorious. I wish I had more space.

 

[Captain_N]

Glorious. I wish I had more space.

most of the drives i use in my servers come from pcs i find or are given. i did buy some of the large drives. just got a 1 tb for $10. love flea markets. For space i suggest making a NAS (Network Attached Storage). You can use any old Computer as far back as Pentium pros machines. My NAS is a old Celeron 1.3GHz with 192 MB Ram. I use FreeNas v 7 (based off of FreeBSD) to run mine. The compression for WUDs is a good idea since its a bluray 23.3 gb image. Its still gonna be a pain archiving them.

I actually designed my own WUD compression algorithm, but the reason I didn't add it to Uwizard is that DiscU is closed source and it can't read compressed games.

Hopefully backup loaders can support it. This MK8 WUD would be for nothing.

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

Yes, backup loaders could easily support either of these compression algorithms. I actually like Exzap's a little more than mine. If I do add one to Uwizard, it'll be his.

How many wii u games have actually been dumped yet

 

[Mr. Mysterio]

10 or 20

EDIT: I wish I could go back in time to push books off my shelf to tell the me of the past to not post this incorrect information. To those who don't know, this is a reference to the great movie Interstellar.

 

[crediar]

well actually over 100 have been released: http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=21

 

[gamesquest1]

well actually over 100 have been released: http://www.abgx.net/filename/?ch=21

So the entire wiiu library for all regions then

 

[Captain_N]

How many wii u games have actually been dumped yet

Alot have dumped actually.

 

[Woody8275]

Alot have dumped actually.

but they are hard to find and cannot actually be used yet since wii u has no backup loaders or emulators

 

[Irastris]

but they are hard to find and cannot actually be used yet since wii u has no backup loaders or emulators

Not really hard to find, atleast for me.
All hail DU.

Is it possible to use it with loadliine?

 

[Cyan]

loadiine use extracted content (files and folders stored on SD or network).
Full ISO (Wud) or compressed ISO (Wux) are not compatible with loadiine.

 

[Woody8275]

There is no software present now that can play wii u ISOs (on wii u or emulator) and there might not be for a long time or ever....wait even the 3ds has no working emulator

 

[Rubaz]

@Ism01 not yet.

The teams try to decrypt the IOSUs. After this goal the Dolphin Team tries to make an emulator (I hope the Dolphin Team >> experience.
