NUSPacker for Noobs

As you may already know, there's an app called NUSPacker, which will allow you to take your Loadiine decrypted games into WUPInstallable USB files. While it's awesome, it's not exactly user-friendly, so here's a tutorial for some who may not understand:

1. Download the app, make sure you have Java installed:
https://bitbucket.org/timogus/nuspacker/downloads/NUSPacker.jar

2.Make a bat file in the same folder as the app, name it Encrypt.bat (or anything really)

3.Edit the bat file (Right-click>Edit)and type:

"java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "The/Path/to/your/decryptedgame" -out "Where/you/want/the/encryptedfiles" -encryptKeyWith Wii U Common Key"

The first and last quotes do not count. One more thing, if you don't want to copy your path, just go to the decrypted game's folder, Shift>Right-click in blank space>Copy as path, then put it in. Same with the Decrypted Directory.

Here's an example .bat file, just change "C:/wiiu/games/Xenoblade Chronicles X [AX5E01]" and "C:/Users/esteb/Downloads/Games/Wii U/out" with your own directory (Oh, and add the common key, I don't think I can do that:P, just look up "Wii U Common Key Pastebin"):

Reminder: You need Signature Patches (Be it Mocha, Haxchi,CHBC or Signature Patcher) to be able to WUPInstall anything you do with this (Also, "WUPInstall" is now a patented verb)

Feel free to complain or ask for help!

Code:
Empty or invalid encryption provided. Will use 13371337133713371337133713371337 instead
This gets me everytime, I am using the correct Common Key D***56 but I still see this message when encrypting XCX to transfer to SD:install\

Is this a normal message?!

-encryptionKey and -encryptKeyWith are two different parameters. You're only providing the second, so the first uses the default (1337...). That's fine.
Sorry to necro this, but im having the same problem here, not sure what i missed...."C:\Users\xpert\Downloads\WDKE08\DuckTales Remastered [WDKE08]" -out "C:\Users\xpert\Downloads\WDKE08\DuckTales Remastered [WDKE08]\out" -encryptKey D***********************

-encryptKey isn't a valid parameter, so you're not providing either parameter. You need to provide at least -encryptKeyWith, and it has to be the Wii U Common Key, since that's what the WiiU is going to try to use to decrypt your package.

If you don't want to see the message about the other empty key, provide -encryptionKey as well. It can be any 16-pair (32 character) valid hex (0-9,A-F) value.

Not sure if you're active here anymore, but I've been trying to use nuspacker to convert my loadiine format TMS#FE game to WUP format, though I'm not really sure if what your saying is that this threads tutorial is incorrect. Would this be the correct command?

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "inputDir" -out "outputDir" -encryptionKey 13371337133713371337133713371337 -encryptKeyWith commonkey

The tutorial is ok as is. It's fine to leave out -encryptionKey and let it default. The other poster was just concerned about the message you get when you omit it.

Your command is ok, if you have the right common key (starts with D7)

Very sorry for seeming like an idiot but need extra help. I have tried double clicking the Encrypt.bat I made which has
D:\Games\Cemu\Game\MARIO KART 8 [AMKE01]
D:\Games\Cemu\Game\MARIO KART 8 [AMKE01]out
d20395e40428036c3978a46fb14dc3b2
in it and also double clicking NusPacker.jar and neither start anything. I tried command line which I am garbage at but it has the C:windows thing at the start, I don't see yours having that.

D:\Games\Cemu\Game\MARIO KART 8 [AMKE01] is the folder that the code content and meta folders are in, what exactly should I copy into command line if it is command line or if it isn't, what should I copy paste elsewhere?

I've been trying to find a NUS version of Uncensored Tokyo Mirage for years now. This tutorial is hardly for noobs. I don't know how to make .bat file and it means to edit it. Why couldn't the OP just upload the file?

a bat file is just a txt file renamed to bat to automatically use in command line. rename the .bat to .txt, then alter it like it says. I haven't used this tutorial though.

Okay, I think I have the bat file ready. I found 3 common keys. Does it matter which one I use? I started the process and it does something.

I believe there's only one common key.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

iirc, there's also an ancast key and an espresso key. they're also unique. that would be 3 anyway.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

the common key is just called common key though, so use that one.

edit: looks like it's common, espresso ancast, and starbuck ancast keys actually.

I get "The folder "save" is emtpy. Please add a dummy file to it." What kind of title does the dummy file need to get?
