Hacking Installing eShop games with WUPinstaller

[killmister2]

Do you have a USB device plugged in besides your HDD? I know I can't install to USB if my Skylanders portal is plugged in...

UPDATE......
Now nothing will install to USB....retail games, eshop, dlc, updates, etc..
Installing to NAND works....then I can move to USB via data management copy/move

EDIT....whats the difference between wupinstaller and the GX version?

By any chance do you have another USB device plugged in for vWii homebrew and games if so you need to remove that before trying to install to USB.

Edit great minds think alike killmister2

No just the one external HDD (powered seperate).
I haven`t made any changes to system or the setup, haven`t moved anything around, haven`t unplugged nothing, etc.. since the last time it work properly
I have even reinstalled the wup installer....still same results.

How old is the hdd as that could be about to totally break down.

Well I did dust it off to use for the WiiU, lol.
Difficult to believe that its a HDD issue since it seems to work fine for all other tasks.

Hmm... Did you try to change USB port used for your HDD on your Wii U? I'm not sure, but maybe homebrews might be sensible to which port you are connected to.

WUPInstaller GX2 has a pretty GUI. Other than that, they're the same.

yes, some require usb01 which can pose a problem if u have more than one usb plugged. the usb denomination is assigned by the system itself. u can check with ftpii everywhere or wupclient.py. both will show u the denomination of the usb drive. if it's using usb02, that could be a problem.

No for wiiu it does not matter what usb port you use. It only matters for vWii homebrew.

So trying another version of WUPinstaller wouldn`t help? OR would it be worth a try?
I will try another USB port....does it matter which port (as with the original Wii it had to be a certain port)

EDIT....just saw above

Like I already said any port works unlike the original wii. And wup gx does exactly the same as y mod so won't make any difference. In saying that the usb port could be broken so try another lol.

I`d try/test another HDD but don`t have any Y-cable ones or another external powered drive.
Is the Y-cable always needed when USB powered or is dependent on certain drives (some will work & some won`t?)

It is always needed due to the wiius usb ports only outputting half the power of any other USB ports in existence lol for some reason.

I was not aware that it read off of second usb port. I'm only suggesting it since ftpii everywhere doesn't. the ports on the wii u don't have individual denominations. they appear to be assigned at boot up, so usb01 could be on the front or the back, either one.

Whatever port your USB storage is plugged into is assigned as port one on boot if you then switch the wiiu off and put the usb storage into another USB port it will at next boot be assigned as USB 1 again.
