My Wii U won't work or turn on anymore, but I want to get all the save files out of my Wii U formatted hard drive. Is there any program or anything I can use to get the save files?
Hardware My Wii U broke down, how do I get my save files off my external hard drive?

The save files themselves are also encrypted, so unless you made periodic backups of your save files using something like SaveMii, you're probably out of luck. Someone might come along and correct me by saying you can get them if you have your OTP and SEEPROM backed up.
I haven't got my OTP or SEEPROM backed up.. So does this mean all those save files and games are stuck on that hard drive?
You're basically SOL without any backups.
Assuming it isn't the board itself that broke, you could swap it into another machine if they're that important.
PSA: backup your saves.

The only game save i have backed up is my botw save.. the rest are lost now. Thanks for helping anyway
if its just the power supply, you can get an old wii power supply and shave off the corner of the plug to fit in the wii u. its what i use.
It provides less power per port than the Wii though, so I don't think that's the reason.
It's basically the same CPU only higher clocked and with more cores, seems obvious that it would require more power.
late response, but my wii u broke due to a 3rd party power supply supposedly frying it. I got an official one later and plugged it into my Wii U and nothing worked.

yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -

I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one

I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
