A NUSspli-like "Store" for Pre-made Wii WUP Injects?

[amdhc]

Hey everyone,

I've been thinking a lot about the Wii U homebrew ecosystem lately, and I'm consistently impressed by how streamlined some parts of it have become. `NUSspli`, for instance, is absolutely fantastic. Being able to browse, download, and install official Wii U titles directly on the console is a game-changer.

This got me wondering: **is anyone aware of, or currently working on, a similar "free store" or consolidated downloader for pre-made Wii injects?**

I'm talking about a `NUSspli`-like experience, but for browsing and installing `WUP` files that have been created using tools like `UWUVCI` or `WiiVC`. This would provide a simple, user-friendly way to get Wii games (and potentially others like GC, N64, NDS) onto the Wii U menu without needing a PC for the injection process every time.

I've done some digging and found several great, but fragmented, sources for these kinds of files:

* **Myrient:** They host a collection of official Wii-on-Wii U `WUP` files from the eShop, which is a great starting point.
* **Archive.org Collections:** There are some amazing uploaders out there, but their collections are standalone.

The main issue is that all these fantastic resources require you to manually hunt down the files, download them on a PC, move them to your SD card, and then use an installer like `WUP Installer GX2`.

It feels like we have all the pieces, but not the central, streamlined application to tie it all together into a fool-proof experience. Imagine a homebrew app where you could simply browse a list of community-vetted Wii injects, see their compatibility and patch info (like deflicker!), and just select "Install".

So, my questions to the community are:
1. Have I missed a project that already does this?
2. Is there a technical reason why a `NUSspli`-style app for third-party/injected `WUP`s wouldn't be feasible?
3. Is anyone else interested in such a project, maybe even for other injected platforms like GameCube, N64, or NDS?

Any thoughts or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

1. Have I missed a project that already does this?

No and most probably there will be none for a long long time

2. Is there a technical reason why a `NUSspli`-style app for third-party/injected `WUP`s wouldn't be feasible?

First of all, someone will have to create and app for it. Second, someone will have to physically store all of the injections, which you would guess by Myrient's news that it is NOT cheap and never will be. Third, distributing unauthorized copies of games, including old and converted ones, is considered piracy and Nintendo, along with any other company, can and will take down the project with a DMCA anytime

3. Is anyone else interested in such a project, maybe even for other injected platforms like GameCube, N64, or NDS?

3-Yes, even though i was interested in offering a better and quicker solution for pre-made injections, I couldn't get past uploading my own injections on archive.org

No, theres non.

NUSspli actually downloads content from Nintendos official server and decrypts it/create fake tickets by using the algorithm used by Nintendo that got leaked. Thats why NUSSpli itself will never support custom injected games. Technically a different approach would be needed. While thats possible, hosting all the data will be expensive. I dont see anyone doing that honestly. (also legal reasons)

3. Is anyone else interested in such a project, maybe even for other injected platforms like GameCube, N64, or NDS?

NUSSpli is an elegant solution and interesting due its accessing nintendos servers directly and using theyre algorithm to decrypt stuff. Again, a solution for custom injects will need a different approach and to be honest, isnt that interesting from an programming point of view. I dont see anyone doing that.
