Hacking Fastest way to batch install games to Wii U USB drive?

[themyst]

Hi,

I am trying to install a large amount of WUPs using WUPinstaller GX2 to my Wii U hard drive, however it appears the process would take days!

I only have a 64GB SD card, so I am basically moving games/updates/DLCs in small chunks which is no easy task given their write speed.

Is there a way to simply take my exFAT formatted hard drive and connect it to the Wii U to install them directly into the Wii U drive? I'm trying to do the WUP install, not loadiine (afraid of compatibility and slow load times).

u can't. installing wii u games requires an sd card.

Read this thread https://gbatemp.net/threads/wfsdump-pc-util-for-dumping-wfs-devices-wiiu-file-system.478480/ it sounds like it's not at the user friendly stage but it is a tool to decrypt and reencypt a hard drive.

Maybe it's possible using this.

u'll still have to add the entries to the metadata indexer or the games won't show up. I don't know how much work has been done on figuring that file out either. plus, that file is part of the NAND, not stored on the hdd.

u can play loadiine games from an hdd. they must be decrypted first I believe which can be done when u download something. I've heard of issues using this though.

Eh, my friend has an unused 512GB SDXC card that he'd lend me, but he lives 30 miles away. I suppose I'll have to make that drive

I was looking to avoid loadiine because of its poor speed.

512GB , my god! I have a 256GB card myself. the largest game for the system is like 18GBs or so. u can mass install with wup installer or system config tool. I personally used system config tool. I have around 265 games installed.
