First, here's how I got to the point of having to try and get Wii U saves from a USB drive.
My friend's system broke after I finished getting all of their games working by deleting the games from the system memory, copying the save files to a USB drive, and re-downloading them to the USB drive. Their system was giving the 160-0103 and 160-0130 memory errors for most of their games. After everything but one game was working, for some reason, I thought it was a good idea to copy one game back to the system memory. That's when the whole system froze up during the copy, and now it doesn't work.
After the system crashed during the game copy to the system memory, nothing appears on the screen.
The system turns on, the blue light shows normally, and the disc drive works, but there is no display on the TV of game pad.
So we exchanged it for another Wii U from a local used game shop that also does repairs. I've asked the local game shop if they can try and get the otp.bin and the Seeprom.bin from my friend's broken Wii U so I can decrypt the USB drive we have from my friend's broken Wii U and get their saves. If that's not possible, I'm hoping to recreate the saves with a little help from save editors and my friend's excellent memory.
The games I can remember right now that have the most important saves to recreate if I can't get the files to decrypt the USB drive are Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, and DuckTales Remastered. There are others that I can't remember, but those are the ones that stand out as most important. Also, is there any advice or links I could give to the game shop to possibly help them get the necessary files from the non-working Wii U?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
