How to install and play Eur BotW

After you completed the following
MattKimura's Wii U hacking guide(you only need steps I-III)

1. Download the game files which contains 258 files, i renamed the '00050000101C9500' folder to 'Z1' (final version with the uncorrupted files should be 259 files, 10,551,280,012 bytes)
2. Download the .tik file and rename it to title.tik (be sure you have extensions enabled or you can mess up and rename it to title.tik.tik if your extensions are hidden)
3. Place the title.tik files in the game folder (you should now have 259 files with the tik added on)
4. Download the update (the one from MEGA) and put it in a folder named Z2
5. On your SD card you need to have a folder called 'install' where you will place the game folder and the update folder (name those 2 folders Z1=the actual game and Z2=update)
[Also installing on NAND is much quicker than USB]

6. Insert the SD card into the Wii U and turn it on
7. Run a CFW (Mocha doesn't require anything special to set up so use it if you don't have one)
8. Run homebrew channel → WUP install GX2 → install the Z1 folder first.
9. For safe measure reboot and repeat steps 6,7 &8, but this time install Z2, the game update.
10. (Optional) Go to your internet settings of the WiiU → your connection and change the connection SSID name by adding a 0, that way your wiiu isn't connected once you start your gameplay just as a precaution so your WiiU doesn't get banned!
11. Once both files are installed press home, exit MiiMaker, start the game and have fun


Error: If you get an error saying something about Sig patcher, you can download and install an app from the HomebBrew App Store under 'Tools' named 'SigPatcher2HBL' and/or 'SigPatcher2sysmenu', load them and retry install!

Enjoy.

Remember if you don't want to play this game using your WiiU pad, you can install HID TO VPAD from the HomebBrew App Store under 'Tools' and play BotW using your PS4 controller! (tutorial for that is also in MattKimura's Wii U hacking guide)

Also check out my mini guide on how to reduce frame-rate drop/lag in the game

And a Special shout out to Frenchbro for providing us with the tik! :D

WiiUUSBHelper lists v33 available now. Wasn't there yesterday. Guessing that's the update?

EDIT: and it's larger than the update that was going around. So yeah it looks like the real Day 1 patch is live.
Coming from my friend, he says it reduced the amount of lag in Kakiriko a lot, I mean still some issues, but he said it's playable basically

Main game is 9.8 gb
Update is 2.5 gb
With 13gb freespace you should be fine.
Edit: when it is installed system will say it is 11gb

Hey, I wanna thank all you guys for the easy to follow guide. Installed the game and update (i got em both from TPB), because the Loadiine version had abysmal load times (sometimes +15minutes after using fast travel). But I have three questions,

1. I have read that I need to be on the CFW to run the game, but even when I am not in CFW the game is still in the menu. What happens if I accidentally run it without being on CFW? Will it just give me an error or are there worse consequences? My Wii U console is the US version, btw.

2. If the US version of BotW drops and I install that one, would I still need to be on the CFW to get it to work?

3. Would my save files from the EUR version work?

3. Would my save files from the EUR version work?

1) Just an error
2) I believe so with the eShop version (which this one is). AFAIK a disk version would work without CFW (though I'm not positive).
3) AFAIK no, but I'm just quoting what I've seen elsewhere about this. No real personal knowledge. MAYBE some Saviine trickery could get around this.

Another stupid question about the install steps in the OP.

1. Download the game files which contains 258 files, i renamed the '00050000101C9500' folder to 'Z1' (final version with the uncorrupted files should be 259 files, 10,551,280,012 bytes)
2. Download the .tik file and rename it to title.tik (be sure you have extensions enabled or you can mess up and rename it to title.tik.tik if your extensions are hidden)
3. Place the title.tik files in the game folder (you should now have 259 files with the tik added on)

I have a WUD file which, using DiscU, was turned into a folder called WUP-P-ALZP which contains 5 folders [ 4 with seemingly random names and a 'system' folder ]

I can't find any folder called '00050000101C9500' but there is one called 'GM00050000101C9500' but its contents are more like loadiine format and contain a lot more than 258 files ?

Am I being really stupid here ??

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Just a simple doubt: The file I got already has an title.tik file, which I assume is for the EUR version. I should then replace it for the US title.tik file or any of them is fine? Thnks again

The guide might now be outdated but a few days ago it was the difference between myself successfully installing the game or just giving up and waiting till release date. Also the guide is very handy as a basic how to, for any install of any wii u game.

My thanks go to the op.
