Hacking Best method for downloading (Linux users)?

[Kafluke]

I have a buddy who would like to try the USB installation method. He obviously can't use my favorite tool (Wii U USB Helper) because he doesn't have a windows machine. Linux only. I know that jnustool is java based so I guess that will work.

For someone that has been lazy and is just used to clicking a game name in Wii U USB helper how would I use jnustool on Linux? I assume I'd have to find a ticket after that correct? Does jnustool download a valid ticket?

has your friend tried running the windows app through wine?

1. Buy from a linux pre-built distributor
2. Build it yourself, install linux
3. buy windows pc, wipe windows and install linux

Ah, ok. But wouldn't it be best, if you bought a windows pc, to dual boot windows and Linux? Also what is your favorite version of Linux

I have a shitty old laptop that can barely boot windows, but i have it dual booting Fedora 25 right now, which works quite well for whatever i need a laptop for.

If it's the 2016 macbook, you might have a problem with that. Apparently the new model can't boot from a USB drive, but if you were able to install windows you should be fine.

Yeah, i use the gui just because it's faster to queue and find items to download.

I tried wine, it's working fine with .NET 4.5 installed, crashes sometimes tho (rare)

This worked great!

Lots of people dont know it exists, but funkiiui works great if you know what you're doing.

[invch]

[MattKimura]
