There are no registry entries made by the app.
Are you by chance using any dns or filter which would block nintendo's update servers?

I am using dnsmasq to filter some, but they don't block jnus for example, will try without them now.

My application requires several domains since it has to fetch info about the titles.
Here is a list of required domains :
ccs.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net
samurai.ctr.shop.nintendo.net
tagaya.wup.shop.nintendo.net

ok, it was that, thanks.
And i just remembered some months ago i also had that problem, forgot it...
Is it safe to keep those 3 domains unblocked? or those are used for wiiu firmware automatic updates?

Well samurai.ctr.shop.nintendo.net only has info about the titles so it should be okay.
ccs.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net is used to fetch the content, so it can be risky.
tagaya.wup.shop.nintendo.net is used to fetch the latest update info.
If possible you should either only filter your wiiu, or use your host file to resolve these domains manually on your computer.

Oh yeah and there is this one too for pictures, icons and banners : kanzashi-wup.cdn.nintendo.net

stuck when launching

Alright does it eventually get out of the loop?
Lately a lot of games have been added and sometimes nus servers are slow to respond. This could explain the unusually long reponse time.
Please also make sure that you do not have blacklisted the following domains :
ccs.cdn.wup.shop.nintendo.net
samurai.ctr.shop.nintendo.net
tagaya.wup.shop.nintendo.net
kanzashi-wup.cdn.nintendo.net

Regarding the app, it may not have a link but, i would like to manage all my eshop and Retro cfw stuff on 1 usb while the wiiugames are on my other HDD. Is this possible to have 2 attached storage to wiiu? Thanks for the help, i dont want to break the current HDD wall powered !

Afaik it's not possible to use two drives at the same time on the WiiU. The only time you can have two is when transfering content from one to the other.

Hello, first of all I want to say that I admire the effort you put into this, we all owe you devs so much.
I've been using this program a couple of hours and it seems to work and download all the files it has to, but one thing that bothers me is that every ETA never changes from 0% even when the 'Technical Stuff' or log is changing. It just says 'Acquiring data' in the 3 sections: Current game, All games and Current file. I don't know if that affects the process whatsoever, but I suposse is just a graphical bug?

Not sure if anyone already pointed out the problems with the new versions but -
Even if I only have one region selected, and the All Regions box is un-checked - it wants to download all regions games/updates/DLC if I select 'add all games' or updates or DLC.

Before this update - it would only select just my region so it was easy to keep up on new games.

I realize that Region Free is easy now, but if it does this - it will duplicate a ton of games from different regions including japan games i cant read/play.

If everyone else likes this new way, how can I go back to an earlier version?

Actually it's not really a bug per-se. Thing is the app needs a few seconds to estimate the download speed and progression.
If the entry is completed in less time than that (for instance the file is really small or it's being checksummed and not donwloaded) then the ETA cannot be estimated.

Actually this is indeed an oversight. I plan to revert back in the next update.

@Hikari06
I'm using your apsince the beginning, but for a couple weeks, it seems that the archive link is not working.
I can drag the tickets.rar archive in the app wich is working, but if I enter a url http://mysite.com/tickets.rar it doesn't work anymore.
It was working before and since an update, the app ask me to provide the url again and just didn't work anymore.
Is there anything else to do?
Thanks for your help

Thank you for your report, I'll investigate the issue.
Dumb question but are you sure the url is still valid?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
