Hacking Quite new to this. (Dumping games)

[Vergil2501]

I've had previous experience dumping ROMs for other systems (PS2,NGC,Wii,PSP) but Wii U is giving me a bit more trouble. Most of the videos I see on youtube or forum posts seem dated as new and better techniques are available for use.

What I want to do is dump my Wii U games for use in the Cemu emulator like I have done with all my other game systems. (This is largely due to the fact I'm in the military and move a lot and rather just bring a computer with me vice several game systems).

I tried DDD to dump a single game (its still running at the time of this post being written) just to play around with some of the things available for dumping games. Still a bit confused about the differences between WUD, WUX, WAD, RPX. I would like to have a smaller consolidated file vice a directory (but I'm fine with having a directory).

I would like to also have the patches I have downloaded and DLC I have purchased that is on my Wii U HDD be able to be used in Cemu. HDD is an external USB HDD that is connected if that affects anything for the dumping process.

use wudump https://gbatemp.net/threads/wudump-dump-raw-images-from-a-wiiu-game-disc.451736/

The .wud is the entire uncompressed disc image. The other files you asked about are present in the .wud - and can be extracted from it (except .wux, see below).

.rpx is the wiiu executable file, .wad is the installable wii format, and .wux is a compressed .wud file.

So I started using wud for the game discs, what about e-shop titles like fatal frame or other digital downloaded games, would I have to use DDD for such things?
