Hey,

I've revived two old projects that allows downloading directly form NUS (Nintendo servers).
As far as i know these are the only solutions for Linux/OSX, but also work on Window.

Credit goes to the original creators of the projects, i just made minor changes to make it work...

You can find both project on my github repo:
https://github.com/giwty/FunKiiUFrontend
https://github.com/giwty/FunKii-UI


Please only download backups to games you already own.

I stumbled on this looking for a way to install d2x cIOSs (a guide I'm following says the NUS Downloader can be used), I figured this might help me out but looks like no.

Just wanted to say thank you for reviving the project and I can confirm that this works on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7. I needed to install pyinstaller, otherwise the script and the generated binary work with no issues.

Great work, to you and the original creators!

Which one should I use ? Or do I have to use UI to run on frontend properly ? I understand that UI require terminal just like command line for windows but with frontend it is like GUI, correct ?

    I just googled and drag and drop seemed to be possible at the time

    idk, but in high school at least, I used my ipod as a portable HDD to store World of Warcraft game files on and play it on the school PCs when I was done with my work each class :lol:

    I finally got a proper torrenting vpn!

    Nice. What VPN? PIA?
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It's called AirVPN, it was highly recomended by fmhy
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It supports port forwarding as well!
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Nice. I use privado VPN, got it for free with one of my usenet providers. It sucks, doesn't support port forwarding so I have issues connecting to a lot of peers. But still prefer it over not using one

  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    I guess it's better than nothing. What's the advantage of Usenet?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Plazorn, upsides to usenet - SSL encrypted so no vpn needed, it downloads from the usenet provider's servers and is not peer-to-peer, generally can download as fast as your internet/router/storage can possibly allow, usenet providers in different countries have different takedown policies a la DMCA, and if you have multiple providers you might be able to grab bits and pieces of a file from multiple providers in order to still get stuff that was removed from one (they generally don't remove all parts of the file, just enough to make it non-functional)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Downsides is it does cost money, having multiple providers is useful as mentioned above but then you're paying more money, and you need NZB indexers (the usenet parallel to a torrent tracker) and the good ones also usually cost a small amount of money.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Oh yeah, also since it's not P2P there's no ratio to maintain or anything. If you wanna download 5TB a day or whatever, knock yourself out
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I generally prefer usenet over torrents, but I do like having torrents as a fallback option
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    That's really interesting @Sicklyboy , I was always under the impression that usenet was slower than regular internet. Also the fact that you don't need any vpn for it to be secure.
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    It seems like it would be less stressful, because you wouldn't have to worry about piracy trolls as much
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah, like at the end of the day, with the few usenet providers and NZB indexers I'm paying for, I'm probably paying anually what a netflix sub would cost. But netflix doesn't have everything media related I want, let alone other stuff like games and software :D
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But it's largely set it and forget it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    On black friday and a bunch of other holidays you can usually find providers doing like $35/year sales on reddit. And the indexers are usually like $15-20 for a year and a half on sale
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    You pay for the convenience at the end of the day
     +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I have I think 3 providers I'm currently paying for and 2 indexers. So probably around $110 a year if I had to guess in order to keep that setup going
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But you certainly don't need to go that deep into it, you can do very well with a single provider and single indexer
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah the convenience factor is unbeatable imo. Worth it to me
  • Plazorn @ Plazorn:
    thanks @Sicklyboy, Usenet makes more sense to me now.

    Gladly! Check out /r/usenet if you're ever looking for a little bit of a deeper look into how it all works
