Pirated Wii U Games refusing to run on Wii U - Error "This software cannot be used"

[TheMaskedIndividual]

Just yesterday I installed two Wii U games onto a USB flash drive I have hooked up to my Wii U, Super Mario Maker and Art Academy: Sketchpad. But, every time I try to run the games, I get this specific error:

"This software cannot be used.

The Nintendo Network ID used to purchase the software has been deleted."

I'm using Aroma homebrew, downloaded the games off of NUSspli, and have a Pretendo Network account hooked up to the system to use services such as Juxasposition (Pretendo's revival of the Miiverse.)

Any ideas as to what the problem is and how I could fix it? Thanks.

Check if you have a file on your SD card called 01_sigpatches.rpx

You will find it in (wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup)

If it is not there then that is your issue and you will need to search the internet for 01_sigpatches.rpx

Did that, but now:

1. It won't let me sign into my Pretendo account, even if I enter the password correctly.
2. It still won't work.

I got the RPX file from here: https://github.com/marco-calautti/SigpatchesModuleWiiU/releases/tag/1.2

Also, I just checked. Now NO HOMEBREW will work. Just tried doing the ZL + lower D-Pad button + Y trick to open up the module menu, but nothing will come up.

Try this one instead @TheMaskedIndividual https://github.com/V10lator/SigpatchesModuleWiiU/releases/latest
Also make sure you putted it into the correct folder and didn't delete any other files (somehow sounds like you broke Aroma completely).

Never mind. It's working. Just didn't insert the SD card properly, I guess.
