Installing the same game to the same device will replace the existing one. That's not a problem. If you put the game on both sysNAND and USB, it'll appear on both devices in Data Management, and you can remove it from the one that you don't want it on.Hi, I accidently installed my game twice, I'm unable to find a duplicate copy of the game on my Wii U but I think it did take my storage space. Anyway to find out?
If you have a 32GB WiiU, and can clear enough space for the game on your system storage (NAND, not USB), you can copy the files to /install on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, create a /usr folder on that drive, add the /wiiu/apps folder from your SD, and run the FAT32 pre-release of Mocha to mount that as if it were your SD. Then install as you would your smaller games. After the install completes, you can move the game to your WiiU-formatted USB and repeat with your next game.I was wondering if there is anyway to put a game onto a usb flash drive and install it from there since my sd card is only 8 gbs and some of the games I want to install are over 12.
I do have a 32gb Wii U and a 128gb flash drive so thanks for this info!If you have a 32GB WiiU, and can clear enough space for the game on your system (NAND, not USB), you can copy the files to /install on a FAT32-formatted USB stick, create a /usr folder on that drive, add the /wiiu/apps folder from your SD, and run the FAT32 pre-release of Mocha to mount that as if it were your SD.

As FAT32 Mocha matures, the requirement to install to NAND should go away.
You won't lose what's on your WiiU hard drive. You're adding to it, in basically the same way that an eShop download would.if I get USB loading going (with Haxchi or whatever it's called), will that mean that whatever is currently on that external HD will be wiped? Or can I get everything running and install Zelda on to that HD without having to format it?
OK cool splendid, thanks. Could you tell me in a nutshell what the quickest & simplest way of setting it up is? My brain is slightly fried by the various Brazilian / Haxchi / USB loading advice here.You won't lose what's on your WiiU hard drive.

Yes, just install the DLC to whatever device has that game's save/update (and run sigpatching as you said.) Take a look at the size of your game in WiiU USB Helper though. If you can spare the space, it'll save wear on your drive's laser. (Mine is an ND02, and I can't find a replacement laser for it.)If I start playing a game from retail disc, is it possible to download only the game's DLC afterwards using Wii U Helper or similar tools? I assume that I would need to run Haxchi/Mocha before running the game even if it's from disc for the DLC to work.
Does the speed of the drive you use affect gameplay? I am wondering wether a 5400rpm vs 7200rpm makes any noticeable difference on the Wii U?
WiiU formatted flash should be at least as good as the USB HD when running the games. Some sticks have really bad writes though.Probably not or not by a lot. The bottleneck is the USB port 2.0 not 3.0, the 2GB RAM max. Its not a PS4/XB1 with 8GB of RAM.
There is a lot of difference between SD/USB stick and an USB HDD, in favour of the HDD. All loading is pretty fast on my 1TB WD Essential drive which is 5400 RPM and I think 4 years old or something like that.
Haxchi will do signature and region patches. You don't need anything additional. If you get Homebrew Launcher when you run Haxchi (the default), Run Haxchi again and hold B while it loads.i've downloaded some dlc with utiketdownloader
can i install them with wupinstaller then use the latest signpatcher ?
or must i launch signpatcher before installing dlc with wupinstaller ?
