Thank you for awesome work. I want to pay Zelda Twilight Princess HD with japanese language on US Wii U using loadiine but in order to launch game on loadiine, I have to launch homebrew launcher. And launching homebrew means disabling spiik. Is there any way to use spiik while launching homebrew launcher?

Cool hb but now I used it, rebooted my wii u and now Haxchi freezes :cry: !

I'm currently restoring my SD content from a backup, don't know if it'll work... I also wrote an issue on Git.

EDIT : it works now :toot:, it was an SD problem I guess. I'll never use it again until this gets fixed !!! :unsure:

Does anybody have a wii u menu forwarder for spiik to install it over wup installer?

In the past I tried to do one for wup installer, but unfortunately it doesn't work. So, in the end, I made one working but you have to use Haxchi installation way.......

Hey I tried using this to play my US copy of Super Smash Bros on my NTSC-J console but nothing happened and I was still unable to play it. Any help?

Just sharing what i found

"First of all I downloaded the game using uTikDownloadHelper.exe
download Mario Party Japanese and European
Then I extracted the files using CDecrypt
of the 2 games

(I used this command "CDecrypt title.tmd title.tik"
I left the executable (CDecrypt) in the same folder as the game files)

After that I looked through the folders where the language files were

So what I did was as follows, I copied the files from the Portuguese folder (D: \ wiuu \ Mario Party 10 (EUR) \ content \ mess \ EU_Portuguese) of the European game and replaced them with files from the Japan folder (D: \ wiuu \ Mario Party 10 (JPN) \ content \ mess \ JP_Japanese) in the Japanese game

(I realized that if I delete the Japan folder and put the Portuguese folder in its place, the game freezes, I imagine and the Japanese version should have more files and would be missing, so I copied and put the game files in Portuguese)

I did a test on the Cemu emulator (because it takes a long time to assemble and install on wiiu)

Everything was fine at Cemu, so I did the following

I downloaded NUSPacker.jar and put it in the folder (D: \ wiuu)

Then, I created a folder like this (D: \ wiuu \ Mario Party 10 (JPN) _descompress) here I put the modified version (the one I tested at CEMU)
this folder should only contain (code, content, meta)

in the folder (D: \ wiuu) I created a file with this name "encryptKeyWith" exactly like that without a file extension
I edited this file with a text editor and put the "Wii U Common Key" (I don't think I can post the key here, on google, you find it easy)
only the key, in the first line of the file

soon after I created another file with the name "repacked.bat" in the folder (D: \ wiuu )
I put this code in this file

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "Mario Party 10 (JPN) _descompress" -out "Mario Party 10 (JPN) -repacked"

after it was finished, I installed it on my Wiiu with WUP :)

I suggest testing with the mario party to make sure you understand"

i copy from github spiik discussion credit to @machadoguilhermebr

I tried his way, it works.

And i found another way easier,
Open ftpiiu everywhere, connect to ur pc, browse the usb in ur WiiU
Example for game mario 3d world
you need install eng version and jap version
Copy from
... \ mario eng \ content \ LocalizedData \ UsEn

Replace To
... \ mario jap \ content \ LocalizedData \ JpJa

Then you can run jap version with english in jap console.
(u can delete the eng version already)

No need to run spiik
Hope it helps.

You might want to try the Aroma beta, which includes a region-free plugin out of the box. In most cases, it should just work since it auto-detects the region/language for the title you're running. This means it has much higher compatibility than Spiik.

holy f*** it worked in the first try!

I tried Haxchi and Tiramisu + Spiik and nothing.
Aroma is awesome, thanks, man.

    they need to have a strong line up on the launch titles too. I think they should move metroid prime 4 to the next console because by now it has been quite a while and there's no release date scheduled yet
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    lol there's a guy selling mig switch in usa on ebay for $200/ea he's definitely going to get nailed with dmca by tomorrow

    Wasn't Metroid Prime 4 teased all the way back in 2017? For the switch no less?

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    Pretty sure anyone buying the switch just for that got duped
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    for $200? rofl.
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    well as far as metroid prime 4 is concerned, the next system probably is similar enough to the current gen they can probably easily just slap it onto a next gen cart and call it good :P
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The switch was about 350 in 2017

    Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima took the stage at the outset to reveal that Switch will launch globally on March 3, 2017 for $299.99—earlier than some had expected at the price many suspected. https://time.com/4632820/nintendo-switch-nx/

    But at least the PS3 was only 500 for the cheapest one at launch
