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).

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
