So which game is the cheapest? And is it possible to get only the amount of money the game costs onto my account? Or do I have to buy a stupid Nintendo voucher card or something like that?

Brain Age is the cheapest, in the US it's six dollars or around 5.66 Euros, and no, unfortunately, you have to put in specified amounts.

That is possible.
Go to purchase, pay with credit card and when tells you you don't have enough money on the account choose "pay remainder" option.
That way it puts the exact amount on your account you have to pay for the game.

Thank you both! Will try that tomorrow!

Wait, you can do that? Can that be done on the American eShop?

Well I live in europe, on my eur wii u it's an option, and I honestly can't believe why wouldn't it be an option on any other eshop region... if not, then....wow...why

I'll check over here, but then again, NOA likes to screw their customers over, it'd make more sense to have that then being forced to pay 10 dollars to buy a six-dollar game when you have five dollars on the account

We're getting a little off-topic here, but wow...that would be harsh...

That being said, I got the game for six bucks, installed the haxchi exploit and it works like a charm

Good for you. I had to pay £6.22 for Brain Age...

I didn't have to do this for Brain Age (I was a lucky one who got it free), but for other VC titles, if you don't have enough funds in your Nintendo Network account when you attempt to purchase software, you can choose to pay for the rest using a credit card. You don't need to do a $15/$30/$50/$100/$x recharge, you only need to pay exactly as much as you need.

Alright, so it seems that works just like in the eur eshop...

This tool is getting better and better!

Note that each time you use it, metal.xml.bak gets overwritten. As an result you might lose your original meta.xml the second time you use if you don't back it up somewhere else or rename it (of course you can always redownload your game). But what's the actual purpose of backing up meta.xml if the original game is not on the NAND anymore?

Nothing really since you can delete the game and download it again! That is different for regionhax where you really need to save the backup of your sys_prod.xml

This is a great script!
Super noob friendly, really easy to follow and works great.
Thanks for your work.

I did it on my NA Wii U, so yes.

This is the most noob friendly guide for compiling fw.img I've come across so far: https://wiidatabase.de/tests-tutorials/tutorials/iosuhax-kompilieren/

Mind you that it's in german, so use google translate... It's fairly thorough and simple, and provides images for the important steps of the process. Just follow the "wupserver" instructions, not the rednand instructions.
