COMEBACK for something else. At storage_slc/rights/sys you have a title.list, containing all the titleID's of the game it found installed on the Wii U.

So, following that logic, you can fool your Wii U by telling him that you've installed a game that you do not possess.

EDIT : At storage_slc/rights/ticket you have every ticket installed, but following a bizarre order. My thoughts would have been company ID's but it do not seem to match.

EDIT2: MLC (Actual Wii U storage) do not seem to have a ticket folder, or else it would have been easy to fool.

EDIT3: Unable to retrieve storage_odd_tickets, content, content2 and updates. Sensitive content ? Even WiiUBrew doesn't talk about these folders.

EDIT4 : Does anyone knows how the ticket "machinery" on the SLC work ? That might be usable.

Okay, results are stopping there.

I need to know how the SLC ticket machinery works. And if we can, we can directly put tickets there and install with the eShop. (if possible)

We don't know the hashing method, so you have to already know where to put the ticket. Note, however, that a given ticket goes into the same file on everyone's consoles. If someone else owns the title, they could run Tik2SD to tell you which file the ticket goes in.

Yes, you can copy valid tickets into those directories, then install a title without including a ticket in your sources files. You can also add fake-signed tickets, but they won't work unless signature patching is active.

No, this doesn't fool eShop, and eShop will delete unowned console-specific tickets from the console at eShop startup (while you play the slot machine.) In other words, eShop uses server-side title ownership to determine which tickets to put/leave on the console. eShop doesn't use tickets to determine which titles have been purchased. Of course, the console does use tickets to determine which titles can execute, but that doesn't really help you if you're trying to fake out eShop.

Well thanks for that long and explained answer. Well the only trick to make it happen is to make the system think that all the tickets installed in the console are owned, and so the eShop could also think of it. The "WUP" shop site address actually starts at boot-up on the menu and verifies everything AT BOOT. Even if the eShop isn't started by user.

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
