Hacking Wii U USB loading - install WiiU games to USB or internal memory

[PixelTheKWolf]

Anyone know if the games leaves any traces on the Wii U? I remember when using wads on the Wii, even removing the game leaves the ticket in the system.

Now that I think about it, I really don't know.

 

[Olmectron]

Yep. basically.

Yea, true. but from what I know, you can use the NUSGrabber for wii u games

Yeah, I meant this can't be used for digital-only titles yet. But yeah, I know about JNUSTool and NUSGrabber, you can't download nearly everything there, including digital only titles, but those won't work with this WUD's tik method because they don't have WUDs since they aren't discs.

Presumably, the 3ds has ticket.db which works the same way with cias as well, but Nintendo hasn't looked at those so the risk is up in the air.

Yea, i'd say if possible, and if you believe that it will be released on Monday (in the case that I do, and if it isn't, i'll be disappointed, but not angry), it should disable sig checks and allow you to install it to a external flash drive and add it to the Rednand system menu.

okay i love to triple check i guess, sooo the nusgrabber full titles will work with the upcoming rednand yahh? because i dont want to be re-downloding huge titles xD

I think this is more like putting "discs" inside your hard drive, since it needs you to edit TIK files only found with WUDs (physical disc images). So, Nintendo would only see them as "discs inserted in your system". I don't think the ticket is in the System at all, since it would show as "Redownloadable" from the eShop, even if they failed at some point if you tried to redownload.

This happened with the 3DS, it showed games as re-downloadable, even if you installed a bad CIA, because the title was in fact installed, and the CIA format had to install a ticket to ticket.db. It isn't the same as it's happening here.

Sneaking to answer, @realg123 when you download the update, a ticket will come with the update. ONLY USE THIS TICKET WITH THIS UPDATE!

Thank you for the quick response. I'm assuming we can download the updates from nusgrabber and install it the same way as installing a game? I don't see a title.tik file with the update

I'm using the nexocube's wup installer version, the only time it says "Don't install games you haven't paid" (or something like that) was tryng install Batman without a modified ticket.
I already installed (USA)
splatoon
mario 3dworld
mario maker
batman
ninja gaiden
pikmin

Thank you! These installs have nothing to do with eshop titltes then.

Hi!
Can we install games updated, if i put in the same folder a game and his update?
Because I'm trying to install smash in a 32GB drive but when the progress bar it's in 20.7 (2%) it stop and say install error code 0xFFFBFFE7
Someone has the same problem?
Bye!

 

[Woody8275]

So is it possible that in a future update games installed with this method would be deleted

 

[DarkFlare69]

title id is 1018DC00 which is the end digits of the title key 00050000-1018DC00

Im getting a folder thats 878 mb big. mario maker is over 2gb so i dont think that this is right.

Just wondering, what version number did you use? I ended up only downloading the update. Was it v0?

 

[Olmectron]

"00050000" is for games, while "0005000E" is for updates.

You don't need to put version if it's a game you're downloading. Just be sure it says "00050000" and not "0005000E"

Mario Maker weights, in fact 878 MB when downloaded, by the way. It simply "extracts" its content when installing, so it uses more space than that, even without updates.

 

[Sucy]

Okay, came back from the Mario Maker Error, tried it again this time, it suddenly worked.

oh well

I rly think you shouldn't use your real pic in here (talking freely about piracy u know?).
We don't know who might read it.

 

[pLaYeR^^]

Should I download the title decrypted or encrypted?

 

[Judaz]

Also, I don't have a HDD, there shouldn't be a problem if I install the game directly on my wii u memory as long as I've got enough free space right?

 

[brkun]

Encrypted. Decrypted is useless for this method.

 

[n00b2015]

what about loadiine saves? where do you put them?

 

[victormr21]

Hi!
Whats the meanning of error code 0xFFFBFFE7, I thought that is enought space but a ssb4 in a 32GB drive?
Bye!

 

[Minasodrom]

Hi, dont know if this has been asked before but what happens when you dont have enough space on usb storage and try to install to usb? does it give a error message? or will it do a corrupted install or the like?
