Hello, all. I recently took the plunge on hacking my Wii U and it was a remarkably easy process. Kudos to everyone here contributing to that effort.
My goals for my hacked Wii U are pretty simple:
1. Dump and backup all of my retail discs (wudump + JWUDTool.jar for extraction)
2. Download game updates for offline backup (FunKiiU and JNUSTool.jar)
3. Preserve my existing save games (savemii mod)
4. Delete game updates from NAND storage
5. Install or migrate my retail games to USB (WUP Installer GX2)
6. Install updates from offline copy (WUP Installer GX2)
So far so good - been able to install and play new games w/ updates with no problems, and savemii works great for transferring my saved games to the version installed on the USB drive. However, I'm not clear on how to handle DLC. I see that it's possible to download DLC with FunKiiU, but it looks like that DLC needs to be patched or something in order to install/play it.
My specific issue is that I purchased the 2 expansions for Mario Kart 8 and would like to preserve those. How can I do that and keep a "legit" copy installed? Ie., right now I have saved data + game updates + DLC for Mario Kart 8 installed on NAND that requires my disc to play. I want to change that to having Mario Kart 8 installed on the hard drive (wudump -> WUP installer) and preserve my save data and DLC. savemii mod should cover the save data, but I'm not clear on the DLC.
Is there some way to download my "legit" copy (ie., download it with my personal key or something?) so I can reinstall that? as opposed to downloading and installing a patched/non-legit copy?
I'm probably overcomplicating this, but like I said, the DLC thing just isn't clicking. Would appreciate any pointers here. Thanks!
