Alright, its working now, the storage_mlc folder appeared. I can't seem to find a directory with the title key of NewSMB U + SL U though:try one of the 2 versions on this website: https://www.wiiubru.com/appstore/#/category/tools
I don't think its in here either.try 0005000e. that's where games with patches are stored. luigi u may be considered a patch.
Good news! Im pretty sure I've found it, the game ID and file size seem to match up, your opinion? It was in /storage_mlc/usr/import/00050000/1014b700 (1014b700 is the ID for NSMB U + NSL U), do you think I should try deleting it?the tmp folder? I'm not sure where games are kept if there's an error in installation. they're probably stored somewhere temporarily then.
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
btw, it may not be named after the title id which could pose a problem. the ps3 does this as well. it will have INST_time of install written in numbers with the year being first. it will appear in the game folder like it should though. this is only for failed installs. failed deletes are also done this way with DEL_time of deletion. it's recorded in the metadata indexer which is probably what's going on with the wii u. it sees the files/folders (probably). it just can't access them.
One more question before I take action, should I delete the folder that has the games ID? or should I delete one of the sub folders? Im thinking the folder with the games ID.you should probably delete the entire folder then.
Alrighty, Im gunna try deleting the 00050000 folder under the import folder. Lets hope all goes well.you most likely need to delete the 00050000 folder, because the 0005000e folder is for patches. the import folder must be the tmp directory for installs, so it must list say 00050000 or 0005000e during installation. it probably just copies the folders into the title folder which doesn't affect what's already installed. it's probably like say windows where any new content is merged with the old by dropping the folder and its content.
I dont think this is new o-o;I hope so too. we will have learned something new if everything goes right.
