Getting Games from CDN/NUS/eShop for preservation

[V10lator]

I have no php folder except for in xampp

Is there a php.exe? If so:

Add php to PATH

else:

Also no need for xampp. All you need is https://windows.php.net/download/

Is there a php.exe? If so:

else:

set to environmental variable? path in user or system?

 

[godreborn]

I set it to environmental variables, but there's an error:

[godreborn]

I deleted the php that you linked to, and I put C:\xampp\php in environmental variables, now it's just stuck at not doing anything.

 

[V10lator]

now it's just stuck at not doing anything.

which might take hours, so not worth to wait for it just to see it printing all available title IDs

 

[godreborn]

how do I know it's actually doing that instead of hanging indefinitely? just typing in test.php causes something to happen, and it also opens up visual studio.

 

[godreborn]

well, it worked (took a while). I had it on the dekstop, so look what it did (tons of folders, lol):

 

[godreborn]

it created 2,778 folders, each with a tmd file, but all of them are 0KB. is that supposed to happen?

 

[V10lator]

@godreborn Are the files really empty, like is there no content when you open them with a hex editor? if so it's time to code as there's probably some libcurl option missing or wrong. Else as i said:

It should still print a list of title IDs (and create folders + download the title.tmd for every title)

Next step would be to parse the title.tmd file ( https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli/blob/master/include/tmd.h ), downloading all the files listed in there. Then create fake tickets and certs if needed... So basically port a lot of NUSspli from C to PHP.

 

[godreborn]

yeah, they're empty. I lumped them into a hex editor, and even if there's one byte, it should say 1KB in windows without going to properties. I think that's the minimum it can display there.

 

[Korschan]

Well, so there is no such tool to download *like* every content on wiiu's nus?

And as I though all my funkiiU downloaded files are now crap cause I used dat-o-matics DAT files for ROM management.
*.app and .h* files are renamed to files without extensions - title.tmd also gone. Tried to install the files with nusspli but they are always corrupted. Damnit

As e-shop is closing down next year, I hope someone managed to archived all games from all region. Either that some could have a very reliable internet and storage available, or if we can find some reliable methods to collectively do this, I think it’s possible.

They have all been archived except some random Minecraft update is lost

I'm pretty sure the entire NUS is on archive.org but I'm going to get a HARDDRIVE to make my own backup

The whole wiiu games library takes up about 1.9 tb. That's games, apps, updates, dlc, video, virtual console. No multi region dupliates. Downloaded all except disc only games with funkiiu. A small selection of games were only released on disc so you need to find the wud and convert to wup. This is a painstakingly long and arduous task. I'm now only missing Schmups collection and chronicles of teddy 2 for a complete archive. Anyone know a source please PM me.

Can you upload it to archive.org?

 

[sion_zaphod]

Can you upload it to archive.org?

I would risk a DMCA takedown if I did that. Regardless of my motives for preservation.

It's archive.org lol nobody is gonna dmca you lol there are a ton of other archives of the bus that are not complete if you did that it would really help to archive EVERYTHING

@V10lator , did you ever fix that tmd issue I had with your script? I could retest for you.
