I was going to install this on a secondary box to do some work and the download link is bringing me to a spam page that wont go away and keeps forcing updater.exe which seems a bit suspicious to me. Cant find my original installer for some reason.

Here is the direct link http://application.wiiuusbhelper.com/Updater.exe.
I have unfortunately no control over what kind of ad is displayed but you normally only have to download it once so I guess it's fair.

Thanks. Sounds like there isn't a problem then. Sometimes those ad supported pages force some crap on you and the way it just kept popping up the save dialog box and wouldn't close seemed weird.

Thanks for the app by the way, great job! Only thing I have noticed is once it is performing a task I can't minimize it and have to use the taskbar to show the desktop.

I've been using your app since it was released and I've loved it. Just signed up to ask a question.

I seen you added 3ds support which is awesome but 3ds games won't show up for some reason. I checked the filters but even with only 3ds games selected nothing shows up. Any idea what thats about?

Otherwise thank you for your continued work and dedication to this project. Really took off.

*Edit*
I figured it out. Had to add the titlekey site by clicking "Change ticket location" thanks a bunch again.

Hey, great you implemented 3ds!

I noticed a bug, the new added

GolT Stadium [0005000010185900] (WiiU eshop)

is downloaded and in the folder, but now showing in USB Helper!

Can you please check it?


Thank you...

Thanks for this great tool!

I also really like that you've added 3DS functionality because there isn't any good actively maintained 3DS NUS downloader. However, there seem to be some discrepancies between Wii U USB Helper and other NUS downloaders (that are abandoned, as far as I can tell). Your program doesn't recognize the ALL region (for example, the pokemon games are ALL, but only show up as EUR). Also, there is no option to download updates or DLC, even for games where it is available.

Again, I think that the 3DS functionality is great! I also understand it is still an early stage feature, but I, for one, would love to see it improved in these ways!

Yeah the db entry for this game is incomplete so that's probably why it won't show up in the list. I'll fix and it should show up :)
Edit: it should show up now but there won't be an icon nor description since I did not manage to find the metadata on the eShop. Was it pulled off at some point?

Yeah I know it's pretty bare-bone for now since it's kinda of an extra feature but I do intend to add more functionalities when I get time.

why your program have not (this game)?
0005000010142300 (New Super Luigi U US) is not available on NUS, so if it were in the program, people would just complain that they can't download it.
(also, linking to piracy sites still isn't allowed)
Eur version is available. I've got it for my us console
The US version is available elsewhere too, but neither is on NUS, so neither would be listed in WiiU USB Helper.

This is a great tool!! I love it! One question though, all the games I've put onto my Rednand work perfectly except for the Wii VC games. I start them up, and the screen turns black and it says "Wii" but then the wii u restarts and goes back to the main menu in SysNand. Is there a way to get the Wii VC working?

Offline mode would be appreciated. (also useful e. g. if you want to offline convert to Loadiine format)
Currently the program can only run with an internet connection.

Excellent program, my WiiU has never seen so much love!

I'm intrigued by the addition of 3DS, and have decided to get the old 3DS out.

What is the equivalent of WUPInstaller for 3DS eShop downloads?

Sorry no, I am not talking about vWii, I am talking about official Wii VC games I have installed via this program. Ones you could potentially buy in the eShop wii games that appear in the Wii U menu with gamepad compatibility (well, a select number of games have compatibility)
