Hacking NUSPacker - pack files into installable packages

[Quantumcat]

No, what will delay SALT will be their mindset on the current status of the Wii U scene and how people treat them while they are working on it.

we should all not bother them to avoid delaying or cancelling any sort of release.

I hope they release something soon. If they wait until after a user friendly solution releases, no one will want to convert from it even if theirs is a lot better.

Great work!

Unsure, but could this lead to homebrew packaging?

Yeah! I tried this with the newest homebrew launcher rpx version and it worked fine.

Is this the same like the Wii U Installer Packer 0.4 ? But just a java port ?

Where can I find this? Google gives me 0 results.

Wow do you have a link or tutorial to make the channel please? RedNAND (I assume?)

@punderino

Yeah, rednand as you need signature patches. I won't try this on my sysnand, lol.

This is just something I throw together for me by using a random app and replacing the .rpx + modifing the .xml's + meta data. Still has copyrighted material in it (bootsound + logo), but I'm sure that some kind of official release is created the following days. But before a release a fully working config of .xml's and final meta need to be found / decided I guess.

Hmm: Exactly as I proposed earlier....

Interesting to see how long it takes for the bricks to swamp the temp, and how much longer after that a sys version will take.

Thanks for the clarification

@Maschell
here you go
Wii U Installer Packer v4

 

[Maschell]

@DaBlackDeath
These seems to be the offical SDK Tools. At least there are a ton of mastering.exe's and cafe folders. I would remove that link from gbatemp just to be sure.

 

[punderino]

yeah thats nintendo dev shit. uh, i guess i compiled wrong? lol

 

[Scoop111]

I wonder, can this be used to repack disc-files, which only had a ready2play release but no WUD and then be installed afterwards with the original disc-ticket in sysNAND or will it only work on redNAND?

Will need sig patches, so yeah needs rednand really.

Great to see how far we've come in the wii u scene! If you end up compiling a version without that copyrighted material and need someone to test it for you i can help with that

 

[Sumea]

can anyone report this being better than SDK tools for packing, or is this more or less open source alternative to same end.

My biggest disappointment with REDnand as I installed it was that I expected to finally USB install repacks of fan patches, undubs, out of region games, etc. and I got only ONE repack to boot (and if I repacked the PATCH for that game so I could launch it from home menu, with it's update it had, it would crash on startup) - That really was abysmal to my anus. I really hope something would be figured out why do repacks of loadiine games that work 100% in loadiine, or just base region free launcher, don't with the repack that should just work.

Maybe I'm just a moron and this isn't supposed to work with the app I'm trying to pack ; but i'm still gonna cry for help here :

I'm trying to pack actmgr (Account Manager) with this tool but It keeps failing , have a log

@Maschell can you upload the meta/code stuff that isnt the rpx?

 

[DanTheMan827]

Exactly... it'll be like rxTools vs A9LH / Luma3DS...

In other words, this is just like makerom from 3ds, right?

You used a folder that has no code/content/meta folder

I did use a folder with that though.
