Do i need anything on my sd card besides the install folder? was watching a tutorial and he had a fw.image and wiiu folder as well? Completely new to this and wanna make sure i'm doing it right!

The fw.img for installing rednand/booting rednand, you need wiiu/apps/ however to boot up HBL, https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-launcher-for-wiiu.416905/

Quoted:
"
The Homebrew version

Download and extract the wiiu folder from the release package to the root of your SD card.
It should look like this:
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/icon.png
SD:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/meta.xm

Do you think this could have a decryption option if you add an existing cdkey.bin/common key? Mainly want it for convenience. Oh and also a way to automatically decrypt would be awesome too after download.

Is there a way to batch Mark as Installed? On my system it takes 30 seconds or so to mark as installed and switch to another game. It's taking forever to mark the large number of VC games. It's not a slow system either so not sure what is going on there. If not, is that data kept someplace where it could be updated manually? Such as in xml or similar? I've looked but have not been able to find it. Auto selecting installed when copying to SD card would be nice to have as well.

Awesome program! Reminds me alot of FreeShop (from the 3DS scene).

Got a question, do I need to be running RedNAND for this? or does sigpatched OFW work?

This works for legit games (brazil method: discs with tickets that also work on NUS of same title)
It also works for sigpatched OFW games as long as you have the titlekey and the legit/forged ticket.

Thanks for the quick reply my dude! I'm following FlimFlam69's guide and he recommends uTikDownloadHelper - this is essentially the same thing... correct? (i like this GUI better on this aswell)

Kind of a bug but when it downloads games such as pokken tournament it chooses to use the capital é which causes errors when installing. Same thing with Batman and Assassin's Creed since those use ® and ™ any way you can re-code it to convert the é to a regular E. and remove the two symbols?

Well actually it's supposed to do that already. Obvisouly there's a bug then, thanks for noticing.

it will just overwrite the previous install if you install it twice with WUP. I've already done this on accident, the game works fine. but say you installed it first with a legit ticket first, then as CFW, you would need to boot cfw first to play it. don't know if this even applies for any listings tho

So i tick the legit and cfw titles, 406 games. Maybe less because i am not installing amazon, etc. Does the wiiu can handle 400 games or 300 is the limit ? ?

I parse the titlekeys.json directly from that key site and unicode is definitely something that needs to be dealt with. Some titles have such obscure unicode characters that attempting to print them to certain terminals will fail even if they are encoded and handled just fine internally. Folder name creation and printing those chars on Windows machines becomes problematic. Me and cearp learned that the hard way.

using this tool I have downloaded over 150 games with no trouble then I tried to download mighty switch force 1 and 2 and they both refuse to install have downloaded both the USA versions and the euro versions several times with no luck. My wiiu has signpatches removed and is region free and I have about 20gb storage space left if that helps. anyone else managed to install those two games???

Does anyone is using 2 drive right now, ? If i remove it while thé wiiu is on and put it back, i need to put all games back in folders. Do you think theres a way i could have 300 games on 1 drive and plug a different one for the rest ? I mean 1 port used, not 2
