Hi,

Sorry for asking this but I am having trouble with this...
I have read this thread:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-usb-loading-install-wiiu-games-to-usb-or-internal-memory.445514/

If I understand correctly, I have to do this:
1. Download NEW-NUSGrabberGUI from https://gbatemp.net/threads/download-the-new-nusgrabbergui.411228/

2. Get the game from NUS <---??? I only see "USA" titles in NEW-NUSGrabberGUI and I have got a PAL Wii-U... what do I have to download here?

3. put the game files (.app, .h3, etc.) on your SD card, in SD:/Install/ folder <--- from NUS or from the extracted WAD file?

4. Get the ticket for your game from the extracted WUD <--- how do I get the ticket?

5. Edit the ticket (title.tik located in folder sys/02/) with https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wii-u-ticket-modifier.445553/
6. put the modified title.tik in the SD:/Install/ folder too.
7. Put SD card into Wii U
8. Plug in your WiiU Hard drive to your Wii U
9. Launch the homebrew launcher
10. Launch the modified wup installer https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wupinstaller-added-safety.442103/
11. Press X button to install to HDD, or press A to install to internal memory.

How do I load a Game from USB when a game is installed this way?
Thank you

Click settings on NusGrabber then you can change region

if you cant find your game open command prompt and enter "NUSGrabber.exe titleidhere"

You either get an original WUD ticket and modify it yourself or you get an already modified one from certain places (it's copyrighted, we are not allowed to link it here).

Thanks. I changed the region to EUR and tried to download "Hyrule Warriors". I get this error message:
"...MSCR120.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error"

You need to install VCRedist.
Thanks but I have just downloaded a folder with title.tik files and managed to download the installation files for Hyrule Warriors using the command prompt: nusgrabber.exe titleID.

So now I am this step right?
Copy title.tik to SD:/install/
AND
Copy all files in the folder generated (should have .app, .h3, .tmd, and .cert files) into SD:/install/

No I have to launch modded WUPinstaller with Homebrew Launcher and press X to install to USB
I guess the game extracted game WUD must be on this SD card too?

No, you don't copy the WUD. you just copy the title.tik and all the files in the generated folder into SD:/Install. The folder name should be "Install" not "install" with a capital I.

Ok cool thanks. So I dont need the WUD games anymore, just the NUSgrabber files?
If the installation succeeds, how do I have to load the game?

it will be installed onto your system menu, basically. Then you can open it from there. the only reason you need the wud is for the title.tik, which you can find online most of the time, already dumped. I wont give links due to piracy reasons, though.

OK. I have succesfully installed Yoshi's Woolly World on a 16GB USB stick, using wupinstaller-mod:

But I can NOT find it in the Wii-U home screen?

I am on 5.3.2. E btw.
And every time I start-up my Wii-U I get these error messages:
Error Code 102-2511
A system update is required before online services can be used.
