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

[Bowie77]

From what i'v seen , errors only occur when you have a bad .tik or no space left in your storage

usb drive is empty, dont know what else to do with the .tik tried loads of times

Honestly, the game does not look like it would have 13GB worth of content from the outside. But thanks for clarifying, good to know

It's a bunch of videos that take up all the space. Quite annoying. Hopefully you're able to get it installed since I can't for whatever reason. Others have been able to so I suspect it's my ancient 15+ year old 3.5" IDE hard drive lol.

I'm trying to install a game with wup installer and each time it says this:
I do not know what I'm doing wrong??My Wiiu is version 5.3.2.
I've never gotten a game to work this way yet,I have my DNS settings to block updates. I've used loadiine successfully with sd cards?
Please help, three days of trying and nothing??

It looks like an issue with the files, are you using modded title.tik files? Also, use NewNUSgrabber or JNUS to get the game files. Put those files on a folder called "install" in the root of your SD. Remember, copy all the files to the install folder and not a folder with the files to the install.

So far I managed to install all the games without problems (except for that one time where I forgot to place the .tik file in the install folder...). My only problem is that I'm running out of space, lol. I have a 500GB HDD lying around but sadly I managed to break it's power plug some time ago. So I either need to buy a new one first or buy an entirely new enclosure for the drive before I can use that. For the time being I'm using all those usb flash drives I have available.

@DanTheMan827

First of all, thank you very much for your program. It's very usefull.

I'd like to know if it is possible to use uTikDownloadHelper to download game updates. If so, how?

If you have a ticket for the update it'll grab it, but there's easier ways to get the updates...

@DanTheMan827
Just wondering, does this download USB ready files? Or does a user have to tweak something ?

The output files are USB ready, doesn't matter if you give an already patched .tik or not...

Just tried. It's crashing a lot on first run. Managed to run with privileges but it doesnt download anything. (It does list the games tho).

Does it give any error message? What version of Windows do you have? What game is it you're trying to download? (It isn't Call of Duty Ghosts, is it?)

I was not trying to NussGraber,I take off the complete game and try to run, is not that enough?

It's because of the extra videos inside. The disc + DLC version is a little bigger than 6GB.

 

[DeslotlCL]

No I don't think so, using the ticket only allow the installation of said Game , without IOSU access we cannot do that as of yet.

Once again, people are uploading the nusgrabber wuds with the modded ticket ready to install, i guess he just grabbed one of those, so to be sure he should try to install the files.

Directory should be
X(your SD card)://Install/(paste the files here if your using the moded brazilian version of wupinstaller)

I guess you quoted me by mistake ? that made no sense ..

Have installed AC3 + Splatoon on USB.
When launching, Splatoon asks me if I want to update.
I said no then play.

But for AC3, I can"t bypass update asking nag screen and it fails because I block Nintendo server update.

Is it normal if AC3 is asking for update as it comes from JNUSTool download ?

I also installed ZeldaTP + PaperMario on internal memory and they can be launched without asking for updates.

 

[canariobr]

what happens if I try to install a game bigger than available space?

Gives you an error message, explained in first post.

You are using the wrong WUPinstaller. That one is for updates only, just like it says.
Use this one:

Nope...

I'm reading a report on the site-we-don't-talk-about that says otherwise about bringing your games installed on USB to a different Wii U. Either way, I will be trying it out soon here and if any one wants, I can report back the result.

@Cyan
A quick check people can try is to sort their WUP files by size.
There should be no 0 size files

They can also use Hex Edit to confirm the title.tik is for the right ID.

For informational purposes, here is a link to the "Title Database" to find your ID when checking your title.tik with a hex editor.

that's kinda hard to believe , kinda like saying digital installed games on a certain 3DS would still work if you try the SD card on a different 3DS ,anyway, Make sure to let us know

@DanTheMan827
Just one quick question...are all the titles playable? Because I found nes remix which is not available elsewhere....

Would the hard drive not be encrypted with its key stored on the console

Does it give any error message? What version of Windows do you have? What game is it you're trying to download? (It isn't Call of Duty Ghosts, is it?)

Windows 10 - 64bits, it won`t start unless with privileges. I tried to dl mk8 just to try the tool. After 2x tried it gave me a msg that the folder wasnt empty (the alert msg was in the background of the app), i made a new folder and it just went back to gamelist. Quite weird behavior.
