Good tool !
It would be great to add the possibility to update the game folders even if they are not in SD card but on HDD; for what i can see now you can update games only if they are on sd card. Correct me if I am wrong.

Hello, If you want to updates games on SD you must check "SD-CARD" if you don't check it will updates the games on your "game folder" on your hard disk

So there is a problem in drive recognition... my list is empty...

There already is. If you selected all your game folders (so they show up in settings) you can just patch them directly (Just don't tick "sd card" in the patch tab). If you didn't tick "Sd card" (in the patch tab) and hit refresh it should show all your games on your HDD which have a patch available.

I'm currently working on a fix for some people which are having issues with the copier.

Click on "refresh" ?

your SD card is formated on FAT32 ? or ?

 

[Tesa]

as @aspire78 already said, drive *must* be FAT32 for you to select it. (This side is *only* for your SD card, not to select additional games)

welp so i il update my console to 5.5.1 U since 5.5.0 looks worthless by now...

Something wrong with the USB cable... now it works... the only bad thing is that it took lot of time to "see" the game updates (almost 2 minutes).
Another thing: I have all the games in an HDD full of other files and the utility crashes if i "give it" all'the HDD, I have to singularly add the game folders to avoid the crash. Here it is a screenshot of the crash error window:

You should only add folders which contain games like Z:\WiiuGames. The problem is that it will check *every* possible subfolder for games. Since "System Volume Information" is a protected folder it'll fail to access it and throw an error. This is most likely also the cause why some stuff loads slowly for you. If this problem persists you can just delete the LMSettings.ini and readd the folders correctly. (You don't need to add each game, just the "root" folder they are all inside. If you placed them all on Z:\ without a subfolder I would advice creating once called "WiiUGames" or something and moving them inside, this will fix it too)

Ok, thank you ! Anyway you should add an option to "avoid" entering that specific problematic folder (or maybe any other hidden folders), don't you think ? Maybe you can set an option for that

I can easily skip these files / folders and most likely add that in the next version once I added the new copy dialog. But it will still be quite slow since it'll try to check every directory available for games.

@lazyatwork and @callmebob I just patched the current version. Once you start it again it'll ask for an update and it should successfully apply the patches now.

Great will give it a shot later today. Thanks!

Thx for your help - Ill give it a go when my weekend starts ;-)

Does this update feature only pick games that need patching in the menu?, also in the Main menu I selected my sd card but it only picked main games like SMM, MP10 or Luigi U or Mario Tennis not games like Monster Hunter 3 or Wii Sports Club, Yoshi etc.. is there a reason for this cause I have 20 games on there but it only picked 5 games ?

What exactly do you mean by that? The last patches adressed issues with the program getting stuck in a loop waiting to apply the patch. If NUS Grabber doesn't work correctly for you there's an option in settings to use an alternative mod which should work then.

is there a reason for this cause I have 20 games on there but it only picked 5 games ?

I just revied my code again and I can't seem to figure out what the issue could be. Are all games on your sdcard in the "wiiu\games" folder?
It will skip a game if at least one of these criteria is true:

1. wiiu\games\GAMEFOLDER\code\app.xml doesnt exist
2. wiiu\games\GAMEFOLDER\content doesn't exist
3. There is already a title named the same on your sdcard (it ignores duplicate games)
4. It can't find the titleid
5. Wiiubrew.org doesn't have a title name corresponding with your title id
6. wiiubrew.org doesn't have a company code saved for your title.
7. You renamed a title to the same name like an existing title (same as 3, ignores duplicates)

Anyhow, I just patched the application and added some temporary logging to the function. If your games are still missing you should check the second tab (updates) and see if there's written something like "Minor error in FindingGamesFunction xxx".

Or do you mean with:

it only picked main games like SMM or Luigi U or Mario Tennis not games like Monster Hunter 3 or Wii Sports Club, Yoshi etc..

That there aren't any updates available according to my program? This can be caused by the fact that NUS doesn't supply "patches" for them, just full game updates.

Sorry I will try and break this down a bit:-

In the update menu that updates the games automatically does it only show available games that need updating in the list so if a game does not need updating it wont show it?

In the main menu it only shows a few games is this because then off>app.xml doesn't exist in those games cause not all my games have these so its those at fault then.

I see now so basically if your games are missing the app.xml in the code folder, it wont pick them at all, period! auto updates etc.. anything.

Thanks.

In the update menu that updates the games automatically does it only show available games that need updating in the list so if a game does not need updating it wont show it?

It means there's no update available via NUS. (There might be an update but it would require you to download the whole game again). So it's rather "There's currently no patch for that game"

I see now so basically if your games are missing the app.xml in the code folder, it wont pick them at all, period! auto updates etc.. anything.

Correct. I don't completly understand why you don't have the app.xml in your code folder, since I just checked Wii Sports Club and it's available. Did you delete them or why don't you have them?

Thank you! I have now ran through all my games patched them with the app.xml & cos.xml files and there all showing now. A really handy app this is I love the update bit of it, really cool! Thank you again

The packer you used in your latest version makes NOD32 recognize the .exe as "suspicious"; need to disable and exclude it from antivirus scanning.

It now does not permit the scanning of the whole drive, good !

Yeah, I'll look into that later. I assume it's due to the different copy algorithm.. I'll see if I can either change it or do some adjustments somewhere else.
