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.

    I now regret buying that Dead Rising remaster. Its ok and fun, but not worth the $60. 7/10
  • Veho @ Veho:
    As graphics get better and better and better, the difference between generations becomes less and less noticeable to me. I be watching YT videos about games and can't tell when in the last 10-15 years they came out. It's all very pretty and HD, and it's all the same to me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Personally I think the HDR is more of an advancement than the 4k resolution is. Colors are so much more vivid than past generations.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Isn't HDR a feature of your screen and not the console?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Both, and games have to support it also.
