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

[naddel81]

What game is it?

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

tried different .tiks that work fine (games already tested and installed).

but do you know if already installed game saves are deleted when an existing disc-owned game is installed to USB and the save from NAND wasn't copied to USB before?

2. What happens when I copy a game install to internal NAND AND USB HDD? From where is it loaded then?

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 ?

That's correct

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

same here.

Well, after you choose the .tik file another window should pop up that asks you to pick the folder you want to save it into.

After that a black command prompt will open and start downloading the files to that folder.

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...

So there is no way to include it? It doesn't matter, it's still a pretty cool tool though

Huh, it's not working then. Lemme redownload.

There's any risk to install the game to NAND ? (slackness to format the HDD and do all the stuff)

It could be a bug as well...

There were a some posts earlier saying that their install failed and that it left corrupted data on the install destination that couldn't be deleted

You DON'T need to format the USB if it is already formatted to work with the Wii U

Other than that it should work just fine... I've actually had the install fail and nothing happened... went into Data Management and it found some un-needed data and deleted it...

 

[nooby89]

To be sure I'll do it on USB.
Thank you for your help.

Looks like a great tool to use. Just out of curiosity how does your tool know the title id from the ticket?

DO NOT ASK WHERE TO DOWNLOAD TICKETS OR ANY SHARING WEBSITE NAME.
You will receive a warning and can be banned.

Oh boy

 

[nooby89]

I have an USB key with all my saves and games, do I need to make a backup before install the game ?

Oh boy

Do you need a link ? ^^

The ID is actually stored in the ticket file itself.

I just read the ticket and fetch the ID.

Then I launch NUSgrabber with that ID and download the files

Afterwards, I save the patched ticket file to the destination folder

No, I just find ironic the person who posted this is banned lol. (For some other reasons though)

USB Hard Drive.

A big enough sd card to hold a wii u game for installing (32 GB), 500 GB (or 1TB) HDD, and a y cable.

QUICK QUESTION:
Hi everyone, Can i close a download with NEU-NusGrabberGUI, and continue that download later??
I mean, if i close the download, i´ll gonna loose all the files?? or i can continue with that download later?

 

[TheKroos]

USB Hard Drive.

I Phrased that so wrong, i meant like an External hard drive, Hdd with sata to usb (I think someone on here said they used that)
i would use a usb flash drive but i don't think 128gb will be enough

A 500 GB HDD plus a Y Cable should be good.
