If it did use the update from the digital version, I would have notified. I've tried booting the disc both with and without Arkham City installed digitally.Will the disc version use the update of the digital version? I might have to test this on another wii U.
it would, if there was an update. but there is no updateWill the disc version use the update of the digital version? I might have to test this on another wii U.
Yeah, normally you will be able to start the game without any update anyway. Otherwise what would folks without internet do back in the old days?Ok so i tested both Batman games. Arkam origins has an update but it let me bypass the update and i could start the game. Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition does not have an update at all.It never asked for one.
My game games are USA Region.
See, I would agree with you if the game in question wasn't 18 gigabytes large. It doesn't matter if my storage is 32 or 120 or 500; if I can cut that much storage out with just a $10 disc, then I would like to do that. It does not make any sense that a game with no updates would want you to update when there isn't an update available.I would just get a bigger storage and go down the digital route only.
my best guess is that the digital version of arkham city has the same title id as the physical disk, but a higher internal version number. so when you installed it and ran it, it recorded that higher version number in the version list, and now that you try to run the disk version, it won't let you because the disc is lower version (and nags you about needing to update)
but that wouldn't really explain to me why it doesnt at least give the option of starting some sort of download, if it thinks that there is update data to download...
if this is the problem though, then you can probably fix it by editing the version list on slc

it's also weird if this is the problem, because it means legitimate customers who might have bought arkham city on the eshop and then decided to switch to a disc copy wouldnt be able to run their disc copy either. which sounds like a huge oversight if that's the case?
On a related note, not WiiU but N64, I finally (FINALLY) finished Mystical Ninja 64 after only (literally) 9,546 days. ( I bought it on 4/19/1998, finished it on 6/7/2024).My video game backlog is the size of California.
Normally the wii U lets you bypass the update. The thing is, when i restored my friends wii u with a bad nand every game was not letting us bypass the you have to update box. Maybe its because the SLC ticket version data was remembering previous versions.Yeah, normally you will be able to start the game without any update anyway.

If you think it's bad ticket data, try deleting the games & tickets in question to see if that changes anything.Normally the wii U lets you bypass the update.

So what i did was download all the updates there was for his games and then cloned the SD card. This way i have the updates in a backup. I actually made him two different sd card nands for redundancy incase one failed.
i dont have that wii with me it was a friends i fixed. its not relevant as we downloaded all the updates for the games he has and then i cloned the rednand sd card.If you think it's bad ticket data, try deleting the games & tickets in question to see if that changes anything.
Also, sorry that I haven't been trying this.

yeah no worries, I just wasnt sure if you had seen itAlso, sorry that I haven't been trying this. I had work today, and I'm really tired, and I got other work early tomorrow morning, but I'll get to it!
I like to think I ruled out tickets, but since it was the first time I had used both an FTP client and a hex editor, there's always the chance that I got it wrong, and I never tested any of my other games before undoing it. I like to think I narrowed it down by following certain patterns between my tickets and the hex code I deleted. Arkham City was especially problematic because its ticket is paired with 2 other titles in its .tik file – one of them being a Zelda game.and since we know it works fine on a system that hasnt had the digital version installed, to me this sounds like a promising lead at least. I dont know what else it could be, especially if you ruled out tickets too
I like how you think 18gb is that big. Buy hey you do you.18 gigabytes large
I mean, I own a PS5, so I understand 18 GB isn't big, but it is big for Nintendo standards, and it is the biggest digital game in my Wii U library.I like how you think 18gb is that big. Buy hey you do you.
Have you tried downloading updates using NUSspli? There's an updates tab so you can download the update data without downloading the whole gameThat'd be great! Thanks!
I also own Arkham Origins; it was my first-ever Wii U game I owned. I could delete everything but my save data, and see if my disc will update for Origins, but if that fails, then I just threw a perfectly good game of mine away, and I don't have an adequate enough PC yet to just play it on a PC.

Well, after a few days, I finally installed Aroma, linked my Pretendo, and......
Nothing...
I'm still met with the same error.
Guys, I think I'm just stuck with a useless disc. If the update data isn't somewhere out there (and I KNOW it's a thing because my Arkham Origins update data is only a few megabytes), then I simply cannot play this game with a disc.
Unless a miracle comes up, I am more or less defeated. I have until late July to refund my disc, so maybe I'll hold out hope a little longer.
Arkham City doesn't have updates, as it was never updated throughout the Wii U's lifespan.Have you tried downloading updates using NUSspli? There's an updates tab so you can download the update data without downloading the whole game
