Hacking NUS WAD Packer v1.0 Released!

[ChokeD]

Handy, but buggy, I tried using on vista and xp sp3 and couldn't browse to the folder I wanted to dump to without it freezing. I could load more than 1 title but it won't download nothing but the first in the list. So I started closing it out after every download and sometimes it would hang/freeze upon start up when the little banner from wadder.net pops up in the bottom right and I would use task manager to end task then reopen it.
Same symptoms in both os's

It does what it says and is appreciated.

Thanks,
ChokeD

Hmm, that would make sense. Its a windows issue...I'll see what I can do.

The folder browsing is not part of the app -- its part of Windows. Can't help that.

Edit: bug fixed, when Aether gets online I can update the exe.

Update: next version should work on windows 7 as well, and should be 10 (or less) megabytes instead of 40+. Also it should have a few bugfixes. I'll try to get it out tomorow.

 

[ChokeD]

Hey, many thanx, I'll use it for sure.

Here is version 1.1, this should fix all reported bugs, and is less than 1/6 of the size of the original (compressed) while this is uncompressed! Also will work on Windows 7 now

I can confirm this works on Windows 7 Ultimate RTM build 7600 32-bit

Thanks Icefire (Xuzz)

Awesome. I think I can get mac and linux versions built as well

What is the format of the scripts? Are they simply title ID and version (in hex) or do they contain the rest of the options?

Known bugs:
- Won't work on Windows 7 - this is a VMWare ThinApp issue, not this program.

Could you also provide the tool in it's original form, without VMWare ThinApp?
I know that it works on Win7 now but I have Python/Cygwin/MSYS and co installed.

By the way, on Win7 the Window is a bit too small, you have to manually make it bigger (at the bottom) to see all buttons.

Version 1.1 uses Pyinstaller and works perfect on all OS's. I know the window is a bit to small (its fine on osx and linux -- its a winblows thing) so I'll fix it in 1.3.

Source is in the WADder 3.0 source archive at WADder.net forums

Mac and Linux users: coming soon! Linux once I get home, mac soon as well with a native dock icon in a single .app file

The scripts are in that format, yes. There is a reasoning for this though:
a) if i stored the paths they wouldn't work on a computer that the script was not created on (or OS). ex: /Users/Xuzz/SystemMenu.wad in a script wouldn't work on Linux or Windows but only Mac.
b) This is the same format used by Wiimpersonator (by marcan) to store the last update of NUS, and as such can be downloaded as lastupdate.txt from Wiimpersonator.
c) Wiimpostor, my Wiimpersonator clone, can use this type of script as well, for checking for updates to specific titles.

i try to download 000100014843464a ver512

but sadly found invalid sha1 for 00000002, 00000006, 00000007

Sooo... whats the advantage of using this over NUSD?

 

[icefireicefire]

a) decryption works
b) save encrypted contents
c) queue your downloads
d) create/load scripts to share - for example you could have one to download all sysmenus
e) doesn't rely on 3.2U being on NUS - NUSD actually does :/
f) cross-platform
g) uses Wii.py so is easily extendable
h) etc

Hi Xuzz!!

Very nice!! But, I am on a PowerPC Mac....

When I run nus_wad_packer, I get this:

The console says this:

I also get the exact same errors on wadDER 3.0!!

So, basically, I need versions of nus_wad_packer and wadDER 3.0 that run on PowerPC!

If anyone can help me,
Thanks in advance!
