My theory/idea on how to dump tiks with ddd or saviine:
Modify ddd so it fetches data from the"sys" (where the tiks are located) instead of the "data" (contains: content/meta and code) folder

(This is just a theory and many have said that we need IOSU in order to dump tiks but...)

this is how ddd was born in first place

BullyWiiPlaza said here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/dumping-wud-files.407591/
"Thanks to Maschell I managed to dump the entire content folder. The trick was to use Saviine by replacing the folder being dumped with the content one:
Code:
/vol/content
Maschell also said that he will make another tool for dumping everything required for use with Loadiine however his University work is keeping him from spending more time for the Wii U scene. Coming soon™, be patient. In fact, I could also work on this but I have the same problem as him :grog:"

So we just need to mod ddd to dump the tiks

Please don't reply if you are just going to say "your idea is stupid" (I am aware that this probably won't work)"

OK, I think the floodgates are about to burst! Someone has dumped ALL AVAILABLE unmodified tickets (Mario Maker EU and JP only I'm afraid). I took one for Donkey Kong Tropical EU after downloading the NUS, modded the .tik by replacing byte 01 from 03 to 01, and byte 0F by adding 2 (as per EU recommendation) and it's installing...

But it doesn't have US versions of Mario Maker or Splatoon...
Literally the only two games I want to play and there's no way to get them

Yeah, most of the worthwhile online games, which is the only reason you'd want to use this method are unavailable for the US, which is kinda sucky. Not to mention that this method requires piracy, even if you own the game there is no way around it.
But, we waited this long, some crafty guy is gonna make a wud ripper, or release wuds (I'd prefer the first one), and then we will all be set.

Do we have access to the disk drive from our current level of hackedness on the Wii U? If we do I can't imagine the wudripper is far off.

This was exactly doing the same as ddd is doing now
