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)

Source: here
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 ;)

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

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
Awesome stuff! Congrats on this man!
Sorry to ask... Does it tell the size of the data and also unpack after dl?
No, it doesn’t tell the size (well, it does while downloading) or unpack it, you have to do it manually
need instructions how to download in where i want. change my background dark.
It asks you where to download when you select a title to download
Post automatically merged:

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

@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?

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
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.

  • ThrusterBuket @ ThrusterBuket:
    I am having trouble assigning cover art on the wiistation/wiisxrx emulator (version 3.2). I have experience in doing this for most emulators so Ive made sure everything is placed in its proper location on the sd card and have met the format requirements including size and naming conventions. Ex: Twisted Metal.bin = Twisted Metal.png. According to my research, it is supposed to automatically detect said image file. I have tried placing the 'covers' folder in apps/wiistation as well as the wiisxrx on the route of the sd to no avail. Could there be a setting within the emulator itself that i am missing? The options menu does not seem to have any ui/cover options. As far as i know, the naming convention is the standard as all emulator cover art requirements. What could I missing?
