Can someone please pick up this abandon-ware project and bring it back to life?

This was the most useful Tool in my arsenal and now has officially been completely abandoned by the dev.
@Tesa, has left the scene completely.
We could use a tool like this to be updated as it worked beautifully with Loadiine GX2 libraries.

Was there any source code? I have the U-Wizard source code, I could put together something new. The first post is totally gone, where do we even get this?

WIIUBREW.NET IS CURRENTLY DOWN THUS THE APPLICATION + UPDATER WONT WORK FULLY AND THE DOWNLOAD IS DOWN. IF WIIUBREW.NET DOESNT FIX ITS ISSUE BY 25th JAN I'LL MOVE THE APPLICATION SOMEWHERE ELSE MORE RELIABLE.

I made a new Thread since the last Title wasn't fitting at all anymore. (Program shifted from SD management to AllInOne)

Current Features:


Format any drive with Fat32


Create backups of your savegames


Copy/Rename/Manage your WiiU Games


Automatically update games


Program automatically updates if a new version is released


Download any version from NUS (aka NUS Grabber GUI) and automatically decrypt them

How to use:

  • Main: Add folders and select your drive to copy games.
  • Update: After adding folders it'll automatically check your game versions. (Be sure to select your sd card in "Main" before trying to select "Sd Card" here)
  • NUS Grabber: Basically a NUS Grabber UI. Hit refresh to download all version files (might take a while). You can search games via Title Name OR via TitleID (the 16 digit ID) (TitleNames / Regions are provided by wiiubrew.org)
  • Format SD Card: You can format any SD card here to FAT32.
  • Settings: You can manage your Directories here, Create Savegame backups.
  • About: ToS and some other stuff is here.

The source code link is broken, but I was able to download the program, although it looks like I did have it already.

I hope they look at U-Tility and copy a lot of the best features it had.
In my limited opinion, In it's day, it was way more useful for the collector than U-Wizard was.
It's ability to tag what was needed for updates was easy to use and fast.

I also hope someone looks at VGMToolbox and fixes the issues Crediar's decoder has with decoding some downloads that worked fine in VMGT but not with U-Tility.

I'm not much of one for covers (yet), as we don't have something on par with wiiflow (yet)

The current solution Loadiine-GX2 is great (Thanks dimok) , but it can only handle I think 43 or so covers and is tied down to the SD card.

My 256GB and 512GB SD cards kill GX2 covers, so I can only use ICON mode until we get IOSU hacks working stable and on all flavors of the consoles and have our much desired IOSU "on-boot" with USB/ODD capabilities.
(like was promised last Christmas by "The Grinch")

We will get there, but the question is: by the time we do - will anybody be left?

Also, they should fix the issue with it not being able to Cut/Paste from the WiiU Wiki.
I don't know how many "Panic Posts" have been created because of the "-" & "v" issue...

After I play around with this program and play around with the U-Wizard source code, I'll come up with either an improvement to U-Wizard or a new program all together. I was going to help with a fork of U-Wizard, but it is going in a way more complex direction than needed for a simple tool interface.
