Homebrew [RELASE] WiiUDownloader - Multiplatform alternative to Wii U USB Helper

[Xpl0itU]

As you may know, Wii U USB Helper requires some tricks to get it working, that's why in the last couple of days I decided to make an alternative to it, it's based on the CLI-only tool of the same name by Morilli but with a nice GUI, titlekey and cert generation and more to come

It uses the same Title Database as NUSspli, so it has the same titles (which should be all of them)

Downloads: here
Discord server: here

Thanks to:
Morilli for the original WiiUDownloader
V10lator for the Title Database
You, for reading and hopefully using this tool

[flowlapache]

Nice done! thanks

 

[ADHD1977]

Nice one... will be testin' for sure..

Thx for the hard/nice work..

 

[ArgoRV]

Thank you for this alternative! Tested and very easy to use.
Few suggestions to help improve it:
A Filter option to search for example: only USA or EUR titles
Also, Search option (Ctrl + F) did not work for me
And sort from A-Z or Z-A by click in top of the column

Glad to see this as an option for Linux users like myself

Awesome stuff! Congrats on this man!
Sorry to ask... Does it tell the size of the data and also unpack after dl?

Region and kind (games, updates…) filters will be on the next update (which will come out in the next minutes), to search you just have to type something and use the arrow keys to move, not very user friendly but it’s something until I figure out something better

No, it doesn’t tell the size (well, it does while downloading) or unpack it, you have to do it manually

It asks you where to download when you select a title to download

1.3 is now out with the following changes:

• Added region filters
• Added kind filters (Games, Updates, DLCs, Demos or All)
• Fixed a crash that would happen if you cancelled the select folder prompt when downloading a title
• Added the size of files and the completed size when downloading
• Bundled the wiiudownloader.ui file with the actual executable

If you have any suggestions please let me know either here or by opening a github issue

What do you mean by unpack manually? I assume this downloads the wup files for install but I'm unaware of a convert method to make them loadiine ready (ie code, meta, content folders).

You can use cdecrypt to convert the wup files to loadiine ready folders

Doy!! How'd I forget about that! Thanks man. Will give this a whirl later as usb helper has been a dick lately in not fully downloading titles but tells you it verified.

@Xpl0itU , how did you compile your app? windows, msys, or linux? because I can't get it to compile. it throws up different errors depending on what I'm using. are there certain dependencies?

Using msys mingw, you need libmbedtls, libcurl and libgtkmm

 

[godreborn]

all through pacman? and, is that the complete names?

I'll try it in a bit.

yeah, look them up yourself, I don't remember the names

are they wiiu type packages that would go in devkitpro or just a normal msys one? I'll try compiling with those three dependencies in a little while, just don't want to install something that's unnecessary.

normal msys pacman

normal msys pacman

alright, after doing that, I get this error (I wasn't sure if I needed the 32 or 64 bit or whether to use msys2, mingw64, or mingw32. this is using mingw64:

Not sure what I am doing wrong or if I am missing something but no matter what I try to download the download goes on forever and the total file size of the download folder never goes above 4kb. I'm using Windows 10 if that helps.
