Use CFW and directly install games on your USB/HDD/NAND.Sorry if its an obvious question
isnt wup installer for 5.4.0 and lower?You can directly install games with WUP installer.
You can install games directly to your console or USB, and launch them as if they were bought from eShop.
there are few differences and features you will lose, like the ability to mod a game easily (using the updates folder on SD) or shared savegame, easy savegame backup etc.
The most problematic issue is the games from another region which requires file edition. it was easy to do on SD card. It will he harder now to edit the files directly from the console's system memory, so most users are playing games from the same region than their console.
On the contrary, you will get new possibilities : You can play online !
It became the most commonly used method to play games on WiiU. it's easy and safe.
There's a guide to install game to the console, but I find it a little outdated now that it's possible to use Custom Firmware. I might rewrite it.
There are guide for CFW, I haven't read them yet to suggest one.
PS: thread moved to backup loading section (why post this in homebrew section?)
Not yet.Does loadiine support USB loading yet?
Nope it doesn't. USB or System memory only.okay, i assumed wup installer didnt work on 5.5.1, ill try it again. thanks for the help.
EDIT: one more question: i have a 64 gig sd card but only a 32 gig flash drive. does wip installer allow games to be installed on the sd card?
No and it will probably not happen.Does loadiine support USB loading yet?
IIRC there's a way to use 2 HDDs.Thanks for replies, wish I didn't have to have a dedicated hdd for wii u games since I already use mine for GC and Wii backup which are more important to me and my system memory is almost full!
You can do it the other way around, run Wii and GC games off a SD card and use the USB for Wii U games. Wii U games are pretty big so it makes sense to do it this way if you don't have a ton of Wii/GC games that you play regularly.Thanks for replies, wish I didn't have to have a dedicated hdd for wii u games since I already use mine for GC and Wii backup which are more important to me and my system memory is almost full!
Thanks for the suggestion but before I went to college I backed up my entire Wii and GC collection so that I wouldn't have to bring my Wii lolYou can do it the other way around, run Wii and GC games off a SD card and use the USB for Wii U games.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/wupinstaller-y-mod-with-multiple-install-folders.445907/I tried using wup installer again, with no luck. I'm using this version because i dont know any other one, is that why im messing up? https://gbatemp.net/threads/wup-installer-title-installer-firmware-spoofing-3-x-5-4-0.397053/
also, can I use an external hard drive instead of a flash drive for storage?
thanks so much, I downloaded this via the homebrew store and it works like intended. it gives an error at the start about internet or whatever, but i assume its because the game isnt updated
