Hacking NUSPacker - pack files into installable packages

[Irastris]

The transfer rates for dumping directly to SD are only limited by the hardware's speeds, not the network's

I expect dumping to SD is gonna be extremely painful for those games with tons of small files, rather than large archives.

Wouldn't that also affect any other form of dumping/transfer?

 

[wicksand420]

Yep. I'm dumping Skylander's Superchargers and its been about 15 hours now.

 

[Irastris]

True, didn't think about that. I'll have to do some timed tests with a few of the games I have.

I hope you don't think I'm trying to invalidate your work by the way, I'm very impressed actually. I'm just throwing out ideas for other methods as well.

 

[wicksand420]

Does anyone have a solid readme made for NUSPacker yet? I'd like to test it on Ft2sd dump to see if it works correctly.

Honestly I've dealt with so much hate from the better programmers over my code lately that I honestly did jump to that conclusion.
The worst part is when I ask for help they won't even give any tips or hints, and then when a more advanced user asks for help they are ready to give full details.
IMO some of the Wii U devs are pushing away new coders instead of helping them learn and grow, thus increasing the developers in the Wii U scene.

Not many instructions necessary. All you need is a folder with your "code", "content", and "meta" folders inside, then run this command:

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "INPUT-DIRECTORY-HERE" -out "OUTPUT-DIRECTORY-HERE" -encryptKeyWith WIIU-COMMONKEY-HERE

Thanks, i'll try it out on Terraria, its a small game.

Here, Here. I dont think anyone should be snubbed here for asking for help, but it happens alot.

 

[wicksand420]

Thanks, i wrote in the in as "game" and the out as "output" and made a bat. It works good, but i cant test the install until i'm done dumping Skylanders. Thanks again Irastris for your help.

Should i use the tiks i dumped from disc or the one that NUSPacker generated?

 

[Irastris]

The ticked you dumped from the disc simply won't work. You'll have to use the ones created by NUSpacker. And yes, this means you'll have to start fw.img before playing the game.

Put the file you want to add on the root of your SD card. When you open wupclient, type mount_sd() and hit enter. Type in w.cp then type in the path. The path of the SD card is /vol/storage_sd/ then type the name of the file. After that, set up the path of the usb and it should work.

hi, when I inject the pack file with w.cp after a while the wupserver stop working (disconnect). Also if I use nuspacker I got this error: "file TOO BIG!" (most files are over 2 Gb)
anyone have a solution for inject (or repack) the restoration patch of Tokyo Mirage Session?
thank you

This is probably a pretty stupid question but I have been at this days with no luck, here goes with stupid question; Where does this code go? Do you run this in python?

NM I think I almost got it, just did some googling!!

Ok I am still a little lost here, getting closer but not there yet. I am going to try and explain the best I can to what I am doing .This is what I am entering: java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in C:\Users\DaddyBlair\Downloads\Video\Darts Up -out C:\Users\DaddyBlair\Downloads\general -encryptKeyWith
D7300402659B**********B27FA2B656

Am I even using the right common key, I just assume its that one??
I also have no idea how to make or where to put "encryptkeywith" file.
This is what I get when I run it.
any help with be great.I prob so far off lol

<snip> Ok I am still a little lost here, getting closer but not there yet. <snip>

Be sure to surround the paths with parenthesis if you aren't, like this:

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "C:\Users\DaddyBlair\Downloads\Video\Darts Up" -out "C:\Users\DaddyBlair\Downloads\general" -encryptKeyWith WIIU-COMMONKEY-HERE

If you are, and it still doesn't work, then try opening a command prompt in the directory containing your Darts Up folder, and then using relative paths instead of absolute paths. For example:

java -jar NUSPacker.jar -in "Darts Up" -out "Darts Up NUSpacked" -encryptKeyWith WIIU-COMMONKEY-HERE

If it still fails, something may be wrong with your installation of Java. Try completely uninstalling Java and reinstalling the latest version of the Java SE Runtime Environment.

-encryptKeyWith ; the key that is used to encrypt the encryption key

What key do I use for the encryptKeyWith option? Espresso Wii U Ancast Key, Starbuck Wii U Ancast Key or something else?

 

[Irastris]

What key do I use for the encryptKeyWith option?

Use the Starbuck Common key.
Hint: It starts with D7.

 

[plyscho]

Use the Starbuck Common key.
Hint: It starts with D7.

Thanks! Damn, I mixed it up. I ment the other option: -encryptionKey

(I actually read the posts before and thought you might know that one, too.)

 

[Irastris]

Don't bother using that argument. You should be perfectly fine letting NUSpacker encrypt the title with 13371337133713371337133713371337.

So there is know known valid key for that option? Or is it a private key, different for every individual developer?
