Homebrew [RELEASE] dumpling

[Lia]

Dumpling
A simple all-in-one Wii U file dumper! Developed with the intent of making Cemu set-up faster and easier.​

How to install
Method 1:
Use the Wii U App Store to download and install it in the homebrew launcher. See Dumpling's page here.

Method 2:
Download the latest release from Github, and extract the dumpling.zip file to the root of your SD card.

Using it is as simple as running Mocha or Haxchi and launching Dumpling in the homebrew launcher.

How to compile

• Install DevkitPro for your platform.
• Install wut through DevkitPro's pacman or compile (and install) the latest source yourself.
• Compile libiosuhax from source yourself as a static library.
• Compile libfat from source, since it has been fixed to perform MUCH better in certain situations which would normally cripple the classic Dumpling.
• Then, with all those dependencies installed, you can just run make to get the .rpx file that you can run on your Wii U.

Features

• Dumps everything related to your games! Game, updates, DLC and saves are all dumpable!
• Dumps both disc and digital games in an extracted format, making for easy modding.
• Creates 1:1 copies of data with proper meta data.
• Allows dumping to an SD or USB stick/drive (must be formatted as fat32).
• Allows you to dump system applications too.
• Quickly dump files required for online dumping
• Feature to quickly dump all the files needed for Cemu online play
  • You must dump otp.bin and seeprom.bin separately with wiiu-nanddumper (for now!)
• Feature to quickly dump compatibility files which can be used to improve graphics and game compatibillity in Cemu.
• Has features to dump the base game files, update files and DLC files separately.

SUPER MEGA AWESOME! Thanks for this great tool!

 

[StyleCity]

Awesome!

 

[huma_dawii]

Alright here i am with testing lol:

I get this weird thing saying i have to run MOCHA, why wouldn't it work with HAXCH? Cause that is what i ran and i got this screen:

Plus is not working with PRO Controller, nor Wii Mote.

Hello.

Yes,you are right:

Installation
Dumpling uses iosuhax and requires MochaCFW to run, and won't work without it. You can probably use a fw.img with iosuhax as well, but I haven't tested that and it's easier to use Mocha.

So I do not think we have luck with this great Tool.

It's the first release, there is still time to add the other controllers support and fix the issues... like this:

**ISSUE**

After fetching the meta for all my USB GAMES in order to dump them individually... the thing just froze completely and is NOT responsive. I will have to turn off my Wii U


EDIT:

I'm fetching all the titles again, if it freezes then the app is definitively not working because this fetching thing needs to be done EVERYTIME you open the app... therefore is broken because if it freezes while fetching... there pretty much NOTHING you can do with it.

EDIT:



It's been stuck there for 10 minutes now, this homebrew needs some more work :v

He says why in the Installation section of this thread:

It uses iosuhax, which Haxchi doesn't support

 

[MikaDubbz]

Yeah and regardless, if you're on CBHC you can just add Mocha to your homebrew launcher, launch it, go back into the homebrew channel and then launch this app. If you have CBHC, mocha is completely usable and super easy to access, just like any other homebrew app.

All the issues i reported were with MOCHA CFW, nothing else. Except the one that reports the "iosu" problem...

 

[zerofalcon]

"Dumpling uses iosuhax and requires MochaCFW to run, and won't work without it"
The OP already explained it wont work if only using Haxchi (for the time being).
I tested dumpling to save/dump my haxchi installed game on NAND and a NES game installed on my USB, both we're dumped succesfully (in loadiine format btw). Check your SD card or USB first.

I was just answering your question about why it wouldn't work with Haxchi. Its too bad that it has some issues still. I saw that he was asking for testers on Discord before releasing this. He must have thought it was ready to go. I personally haven't tried it yet.

Im more than happy to test, but as for now it doesn't work for me. After fetching all my 192 games the app crashes or freezes and does nothing. xD

this is great, now i'm gonna do some "legal" backups of games that i "totally bought"

does this only dump games in loadiine format or this can also dump games in the WUP format?

I have the same question for the dev of dumpling @Lia

It uses iosuhax, which Haxchi doesn't support

Haxchi supports iosuhax.
Haxchi has an integrated wupserver that you can start using an ioctl command.
I created a pull request for haxchi support.

... but if you're using haxchi/cbhc you can still launch this, just get the mocha homebrew app and boot that from the homerbew launcher after you've booted your Wii U with haxchi/cbhc, that will boot you back to the Wii U menu, and then go back into homebrew launcher and launch this app. I have CBHC and this method works without issue. Sure it takes an extra 30 seconds than if it could natively support Haxchi, but there is still a totally viable method of loading this if you have haxchi installed allt he same.

I created a pull request for haxchi support.

To be fair, I don't understand C and I can only read/write Python, which barely counts! I was basing my comment off info received from a credible dev, Maschell. In this thread here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/what-is-iosuhax.481166/ he says this about libiosuhax and Haxchi:

No, haxchi doesn't have libiosuhax support. ftpiiu has hardcoded haxchi support
And like I said: haxchi and mocha are 2 complety different things.
Haxchi is a persistent entrypoint for homebrew, mocha is a custom firmware.

When asked about Haxchi having support for wupserver he said this:

And sd cafiine actually is quiet useful
(and wupserver doesn't use libiosuhax)

This was all said in August 2017 and there hasn't been a meaningful commit to the Haxchi repo since January 2017. Either I'm misunderstanding or Maschell misspoke about it.

I actually don't know what Maschell means but Haxchi comes with it's own wupserver that supports all IOSUHAX commands since december 2016 that can be accessed via the MCP.
Mocha has an extra node (/dev/iosuhax) that always runs in the background and recieves commands while haxchi patches the mcp code 0x62 to start wupserver. I don't know what Maschell means with hardcoded support... With haxchi you just need to start wupserver manually and you can then open iosuhax via the mcp node and send commands to the ipc.
You can start it like this:

IOS_IoctlAsync(mcp_hook_fd, 0x62, (void*)0, 0, (void*)0, 0, someFunc, (void*)0);
//let wupserver start up
sleep(1);
if(IOSUHAX_Open("/dev/mcp") < 0)

I love when people know their sh*t!

Good job man.

@Stealphie @zerofalcon
It only dumps in Loadiine/Cemu format. I made this tool to make setting up Cemu easier and faster.

@huma_dawii
Hmm, that's odd. Could you contact me on Discord (Emma#1024) to figure this out?

Haxchi supports iosuhax.
Haxchi has an integrated wupserver that you can start using an ioctl command.
I created a pull request for haxchi support.

Thank you, I'll get that merged.
