Play Mario Kart 8 with All DLC for FREE without CFW

This guide uses the FREE DLC "Mercedes Benz" to do the trick. You need download it on eshop.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to play Mario kart 8 with all DLCs unlocked without start a CFW or something for this. It should work with others games with multiple DLC like Wii Sports Club, Super Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors and others. Of course you need a legit DLC from game you want to play.

For Super Smash Bros detail follow this link:

For Zelda BOTW follow:
http://gbatemp.net/threads/play-zelda-botw-with-all-dlc-for-free-without-cfw.469520

What you need:
  • Mercedes Benz DLC downloaded from eshop. (needs a legit DLC)
  • Mocha CFW, Haxchi CFW, or any other (just in the beginning)
  • WiiU App Store (or Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 +
    Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
    )
  • WiiU USB Helper
  • SD Card
  • PC
  • Hex Editor (HxD for Windows)
1 - First if you have any illegitimate MK8 DLC installed, just delete it using using Data manager on WiiU Config
2 - Download the DLC on eshop
3 - Make sure your SD card is formatted in FAT32
4 - Download the DLC of MK8 of your region with WiiU USB Helper and put it in your SD card in na folder called "install" in the root.
5 - Go to Homebrew Launcher and choose App Store or go to wiiubru.com/go on you browser and choose App Store. If you don't know what's Homebrew Launcher is give a look in this guide (parts I, II and III) and choose start App Store.
6 - In App Store Download Tik2SD + FTPiiU_Everywhere + WUP Installer GX2 + Mocha CFW + Homebrew Launcher
7 - Launch Homebrew Launcher and go to Mocha_CFW (use default options). Then go to WUP Installer GX2 and choose install the DLC of MK8 you just download wherever is your game (nand or USB).
8 - Back to Homebrew Launcher, go to Tik2SD and backup your tickets. Put your SD in PC and look at tik2sd folder. Open keys.txt and search where your MK8 DLC is installed. The name you need to search is 0005000c1010ec00 or 0005000c1010ed00 or 0005000c1010eb00. In my case (US) it says "0009/00000015.tik".
9 - Now it's time for hex editing.
Thanks to @Rahzadan we have a VERY detailed tutorial for it. Go to this thread and after the hex editing go to step 10 below.
If you followed the @Rahzadan tutorial go to step 10. I'll keep this part only for log
purpose.

Locate your ticket in your SD card according with keys.txt. Open with an hex editor (in my case it's on 0009 folder and the name is 00000015.tik. Backup the ticket.

Look that you gonna have 2x finds in the key.txt file. In my case 0009/00000015.tik@0x6a0 and 0009/00000015.tik@0x0. The number after the "@" shows where the ticket starts inside the tik file. It means probably the fake ticket is in beginning of tik (0x0) file and my legit ticket starts in 0x6a0 (note is in hexadecimal).

The fake ticket is like this, a lot of same numbers:

2MSoJA9.png


In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for MK8 ticket is the same thing, just another Game ID.

Pay attention in the blue highlight. It shows the game ID. If it says a number other than 0005000c1010ec00 or 0005000c1010ed00 or 0005000c1010eb00 it means the ticket is from another game!

The trick here is swap the fake ticket with the legit ticket, that way the legit ticket always come first in the tik file! This picture can demonstrate what I mean:
rVtT6FJ.png


In this case it shows SSB ticket, but for MK8 ticket is the same thing.

Maybe there's another game ticket inside the tik file, maybe not. Anyway, just copy and past with your hex editor the fake ticket with the legit ticket. Pay attention and don't touch other game tickets in the tik file!

If your legit ticket comes first you don't need swap the tickets! You already can play with all DLC unlocked! I believe it can happens if you download the free DLC after install the fake DLC.

After the swap save your ticket in your PC.
10 - Now put your SD back in WiiU. Open Homebrew Launcher and launch FTPiiU_everywhere (make sure you had launch Mocha CFW or other CFW before that)
11 - Go to your MK8 ticket location inside WiiU memory using a FTP browser like FileZilla or even Windows Explorer with the IP of your WiiU. Its in "storage_slc/rights/ticket/apps/xxxx/xxx.tik". Replace that ticket with the one you just modified.
12 - Open your MK8 game and enjoy play with all contents without CFW!

TL;DR: Download the free DLC, install all DLC packet with a fake ticket, locate your ticket inside WiiU, swap the legit ticket with the fake ticket inside the tik file so that the legit ticket appears first.

Thank to @nexusmtz and @Madridi

It applies for legit DLC from each game you want to play. For Zelda BOTW you need a legit DLC and AFAIK there's only one DLC for all content. So, this method applies for games with multiple DLC like MK8 (that has Free DLC), SSB, Wii Sports Club, etc
Yeah but I meant when the other DLC is released :P

I Tried with Hyrule Warriors PAL and it worked flawlessly. The Hex editing was not that hard for me, Just has to figured out that the false and true ticket was the same lenght before switched them out

It tells you that. You first ticket is right at the beginning (0x0), and the next ticket is where it says 350 on the left (0x350)

You can confirm that these are the start of the tickets cause they will start with 00 01 00 04.

As for the length, it's 848bytes

You can see this selecting the numbers with an hex editor like HxD. You gonna see 350 in status line (it's 848 in hex)

i used HxD i try changed watch size bytes but no work.
i know the part 00000350. what i mean is part to changed position with the legit is what i confused i see the imagen you put. i was thinking you start 0 to select to in end closed censor part.
what i did is cut all part dlc fake sticket later paste in the begining(0x0) the legit ticket. later cut the part legit and paste the ending the part 0000350

Cut everything from the start up until 34F.

So 350 should be your new 0x0. Now go to the new 34F and paste insert it after that, so it should be starting 350 now.

Can't you just use AOC Patcher to load the DLC and the brazilian method for the game?
Like I said before, that defies the purpose of this thread. The purpose is to get them to run without cfw or sigpatcher, like original similar to Brazilian method.

If not, aoc is still not the better way to go. Sigpatcher is better. Aoc method is, by admission of the dev himself, experimental. It activates the dlc in a dirty way by injecting it through the save. I would not be surprised if you get glitches or crashes along the way.

340 line, the end of that entire line is 34F

Someone enough kind to make a video?XD

I have a problem, I uninstalled my MK8 DLC Non-Legit so I downloaded Mercedes Benz Free DLC but I cannot install it, because it give me an error, and the DLC it's deleted from Download List.
Do I need install the DLC Legit or Just having Downloaded it's enough?

Run tik2sd and see if you have 2 tickets of the MK8 DLC. If you have you can follow this tutorial starting editing the tik file.

Trunske, because you weren't able to install the DLC from eShop, you'll have to install it using WUPInstaller after you fix the tickets such that the legitimate one is first. Note that you will have to remove the title.tik from your sd:/install/mk8dlcname directory, so the system's existing ticket will be used. If you don't do that, the fake one will be first again.

Actually, if he can't install legit dlc, chances are only the fake one exists on system.
So the easier approach in my opinion would be:
1- remove fake ticket
2- install from eshop
3- install fake signed
4- switch legit and fake tickets with hex

If a legit ticket does exist, then a simple ticket switch would solve the problem, and eshop works again for the dlc (though why would you want that! Lol)

    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
