Hacking What to do with wiiu raw data files.

[Darque420]

Okay, I looked in the sticky posts and couldn't find anything.

I have some wiiu games. Unzipped them and all of them have code, content, and meta folders.

Only problem is I don't know what to do with the folders now. Convert them into something else? Tried putting them in the install folder as is and that did nothing.

I just want to install them on a usb drive.

Thanks.

The folders you now have can be used in Loadiine.
Or if you want to install them using WUP method then you can convert them

Probably best to re-download games in WUP format or backup your own discs to WUP format using Disc2App

Is there a reason why wup is preferred over loadiine?

I'm reading, and hopefully correctly, that loadiine can only be run off the sd card, and not installed.

Wup would be fine, but I don't know where to find them t9 download. I can only find loadiine games to download.

Thanks

WUP if you want to install them to the system memory or wii u formatted USB
otherwise Loadiine on SD or on unformatted USB with the Mocha build
only downside to loadiine is you can't play online

So, if I have no desire to play online, I'm fine right?

There are numerous downsides to loadiine including it not being 100% compatible with all games or the fact some games take an absolute age to load for instance Super Mario 3d World takes about 5 mins to just load to the title screen/watchdogs takes about 10 mins to title screen an unmodified version of Starfox Zero takes 90 mins or so to load ect plus no online and a number of other issues as well.

Okay, so the conversion from Loadiine to WUP requires Mocha FW? Won't work on Haxchi?

Yes it will work perfectly fine with haxchi.

You really should consider re-downloading your games in WUP format. The old Loadiine format was okay before the brazilian method, but now it's totally deprecated. Marko76 above mentioned several of the problems with Loadiine. Besides, trying to convert them to WUP is a headache and not guaranteed to work, depending on how they were ripped in the first place, (personal experience). Your best bet is to get the proper files from NUS. Wii U USB Helper was the recommended program before, to do so, but I think it's dead now. So it's back to good old reliable FunKiiU to download what you need.
