How to fix NUSspli errors

Note: I am not responsible for bricking your Wii U.
This guide is for Tiramisu or Aroma Users

Here on this post, I’ll be giving solutions on how to fix these errors below.

1. Couldn’t find NUSspli file on the SD Card
Tiramisu:

Make sure you have NUSspli.rpx in sd:/wiiu/apps/NUSspli/ .
Aroma:
Make sure you have NUSspli.wuhb in sd:/wiiu/apps/ .

2. Unsupported Environment
Switch to an environment that NUSspli supports, if you are booting NUSspli from a supported environment but is still having this error, follow these steps for your environment.
Tiramisu:
1. Go to https://tiramisu.foryour.cafe , click on Download Tiramisu, extract and copy the contents of the .zip file to the root of your sd card overwriting existing files, reboot the Wii U and try again.
2. Switch to a different environment that NUSspli supports and boot the one your environment uses.
Aroma:
1. Switch environment

3. snip

This is all the errors that I could solve. Any other errors that are not listed here can be fixed if you ask on NUSspli thread or on GitHub.

If using a Pen-Drive, then.. don't? Best I can say for that one, tbh.

But if you're using an HDD, then make sure it has a proper Y-Cable and / or power supply if it needs one. The Wii U is pretty picky when it comes to recognizing, sustaining and keeping HDDs in use.

If all else fails, you could just disconnect your USB Device, install the game to Sys Memory, then transfer it to the USB Device. I don't really recommend this because it'd be better to not wear out the NAND, but it may work.

You hate pen drives? 😡
I have downloaded Smash Wii U on a 32gb pendrive

I never said I hate them, but it's just an objective fact that they should not be used on the Wii U Console. The amount of writes, and large data stacks transferred usually ends up with the Drive being rendered unusable after a certain amount of time. Not to mention the fact that the Wii U will also at random cut power to the Drive, even while under active use which can result in crashes, corrupted data, and other undesirable behaviors.

If you want to use a pen-drive, then by all means, go ahead. But if you want data security, and sustainability, then a pendrive is not the way to go.

I've found that 1 in 4 of my Nusspli installs of downloads from wii u downloader gets stuck at 100% and needs a reboot. It seems to install okay though. It persists even with a fresh download of the file. Anyone else with this issue?

For 2. the 3rd solution shouldn't work (we won't backport) except the error message was only shown cause of a bug to begin with.

For 3. What the...? This shouldn't be. Please retry with the latest NUSspli version and in case it's still an issue open a GitHub report for it, please.

//EDIT: Forgot to say: NUSspli is supported on Tiramisu/Aroma only. Users on (CB)Haxchi or Mocha are using horribly outdated and known to be heavilly bugged versions. So the same guide for Mocha/Haxchi:
1. Any issue
Change CFW to Tiramisu or Aroma and Update NUSspli to latest release.

//EDIT²: The reason we support Tiramisu and Aroma only is maintainance burden. The codebase of NUSspli is pretty large and complex with these two only... In fact we (NUSspli devs, it's not developed by me alone) can't wait to go Aroma only (but won't do that while Aroma is still BETA, don't worry) to lower the codesbase and complexity some more.
Does this mean it will boot from Aroma? I get the unsupported error when I try unless in tiramisu, and I’m much rather keep the console in aroma. Forgive me if I’m misunderstanding.

I had an issue, when I downloaded a game and installed it to a USB, the wii u said "There is a Problem with USB storage device", I used a fresh USB stick ?
