Here you go. The only things you need are the title keys/ids for the games and Wup Installer.

Let me get this straight ... with that, you download games like an eShop and install straight from Wii U? I was having problems with my MicroSD not having enough space for the games I wanted to install, if it's going to download and install straight to Wii U this is a nice hand on the wheel for me (besides it is very practical not need the PC to download the games )

This app downloads the files to your SD card and you'll have to install them to your Wii U's memory (internal or external) with Wup Installer. It's like the Wii U Usb helper app just on the Wii U.

Does it still work anymore? Any time I try to use it, I get an immediate error message. I've downloaded it onto my computer at least 3 times now, and it just keeps showing "Error". Is it dead now?

I used the USB helper for all of my Wii U games about a month ago and everything worked fine. The 3DS portion of it got patched by Nintendo so that no longer works but anything under the Wii U tab worked like a charm. There are a lot of instructional videos on YT and when I had an issue at first I was something simple that fixed it but I dont remember exactly what it was.

Try all of the available title key sources at titlekeys.ovh. at least one of the ones that said was working actually didnt work for me but another did.

I grabbed the sources of the tool the last days and here's an experimental version downloading much faster.

//EDIT: Soure codes: https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli/tree/9eee708d1a7ccd9abf5bd7dda09cf6f6e97cf609

//EDIT²: Update 1.3! This brings many changes under the hood, like important bug fixes, and a prettier on screen keyboard. Please note that these are basically alpha releases but I try my best to keep them bug free. Anyway, features are still missing and the next update will probably be a big feature update. Stay tuned!

I’m running the 1.2 version and it works great. How were you able to increase the download speeds and is there any way to make it go even faster?

Possibility to use ticket.bin? That way we don't have to enter the title id and title key manually ?

Well, WUPDownloader did all in one thread, so the download had to wait for the UI to render (which is software based and as such slow). The trick was to limit the fps while downloading.[EDIT]Just look while it downloads: In v1.2 it's limited to 1 fps (IIRC, maybe it's two but that shouldn't make a difference... Before it was the more FPS the faster the download, so the download slowed itself down...).[/EDIT]
I hope this was just a first speedup / I'm planning to do multitasking to maybe increase the download speed even more (or at least get rid of the slowdowns when the NUS servers are bonky).

I won't say what I'm working on but yea, in my lokal version of WUPDownloader (which might not even be called WUPDownloader anymore) you don't have to enter keys manually. Maybe it even installs the files right after downloading... I really don't want to tell too much, esp as this is early development, I'm missing some important debugging tools on the Wii U and my TODO list is still growing instead of shrinking... But stay tuned... ;)

//EDIT: I see people liking this post and am searching for beta testers. If you read this and are interrested PM me!

//EDIT²: But don't PM me if you plan to publish the beta files I handle to you. Also don't waste my time if you don't know how to do basic debugging (like getting a log and handle it over to me).
