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

[ThunderbInazuma]

2 bytes of data get modified in the ticket and that makes the Wii U allow the install and at the same time doesn't break the existing signature check (somehow)

So that's just a coincidence?

Do I need to only put «title.tik» on the «Install» folder or all the content of the folder ? @DanTheMan827

You open the tik with my tool and it will save everything you need for WUP installer to the folder you select

This includes the patched ticket.

@Cyan I made a tool that can automatically patch the .tik file if needed and will download the associated title data using NUSgrabber based on the data contained in the .tik file... (so no searching for the title ID)

It can also download directly to the install folder if the user so wishes...

Nothing other than the exe is needed since NUSgrabber is included.

does not download for me. as soon as I select the .tik to go it closes.

But wait.
Do I need to create an «Install» folder on my SD card or my USB drive ?

I really don't know the specifics, just how to do the ticket patching...

My guess is that the signature doesn't include the part of the ticket header that gets modified...

Is there anything in the output folder that you selected?

It could be that the game doesn't exist on the eShop servers for that ticket...

Downloaded duck tales to test and it works perfectly. Thank you.

it does not even ask for an output folder. just closes.

For anybody waiting for it there's already Zelda Twilight's ticked on that ISO site, i've tested it myself

Someone is very happy (nice to see a white Wii U controller besides my own LOL)

That's not supposed to happen

What's suppose to happen is that you open the exe and it prompts you for the ticket file

Then it will prompt you for the folder to save all the files into

What version of Windows do you have? 10?

@DanTheMan827 Hey mate, maybe you should include like a dialog that pops up when you try to close the program while it's downloading stuff to make sure that you did click it on purpose. I accidentally click it

Yep

win7 and the game is definitely on eshop since nusgrabber gets it just fine.

Ok, thanks for the explanation.

That black command prompt that pops up is actually NUSgrabber...

I could hide it but then the user would have no indication that anything is going on...

Is there any way for USB loading on decompiled Wii U games or for users to dump their own Wii U games into .wud files.

Maybe another thread should be made since the topic creator is now banned and thus can never update the thread.

What game is it?

Is the tik file from that iso site or extracted from a WUD?

 

[nooby89]

I'm at the stage of installation of the game :

• I downloaded «title.tik» of USA Splatoon (for my USA console), from that ISO site on a thread nammed «USB Wii U Ticket Database [TIK]».
  
• I use the program entitled «uTikDownloadHelper» and I have chosen «title.tik» from the program.
• When the process was end, I put all the file on the folder «Install» of my SD card.

Is it fine ?

Now you copy those files to the install folder on your SD card and run WUP Installer on the Wii U

Does your tool have any indication if a download is started? I can't see anything after I choose my ticket.
