Hacking [RELEASE] Wii U USB Helper, a small eShop for Windows !

[Hikari06]

Hi! First of all, very nice app!

Some change requests from my side:

• I think the name of the title should be taken from the nintendo shop site instead of the tik databases
  The names from different DBs are not consistent and I think it is better to have a consistent name scheme
  
  
• Could you add subfolders for the regions where the data is stored or add the region code to the game folder itself (prefering region subfolders)
  like:
  GAMES/EUR/MarioGame [aabbccdd...]
  GAMES/US/MarioGame [bbccddee...]
  
  or:
  GAMES/MarioGame (EUR) [aabbccdd...]
  GAMES/MarioGame (US) [bbccddee...]
  
  
• Could you add a feature to download the covers, screenshots aso to HD too? Only loading them from the net if they are not present already

Thank you! Keep up the good work. The app looks nice and works like a charm.

Hello and thank you for your suggestions.
Unfortunately it will be tricky to change the name of the folders now without affecting the download of everyone who has been using the application since its release.
Regarding covers, banners, and icons, those are automatically cached by the application and only need to be downloaded once.

Im downloading like 80 gb of games and i have a little question that i think is irrelevant but id still like to ask in case i have to stop my downloads now and start all over, when i started the app it asked me to introduce at the last part the address to that key site and it never asked me again, then i started downloading the games, so i asume they all will have the ticket required for me to just move my games to my sd and then install them on my wii u usb or do i have to get those tickets manually for each of the games i just downloaded? cause iv been checking forlders and i see a title.tik file on each game folder so i asumed that its ok, am i right?

Yes you are correct, the app will automatically add or generate the tickets from the source it has been provided with

Thanks you and keep up the good work, the app is amazing :-) i have one more question and is about the VC games, do they download in Loadiine format or they can be installed only in RedNAND?

The application does not produce files compatible with Loadiine regardless of what type of content (update,game,vc,etc...) you download.
VC applications are special and require forged tickets which cannot be executed on a system without sigpatch.
Rednand will indeed enable you to use them, although it is also possible to patch sysnand.

Of course, a rename function would be needed. Regex are fine for that.
I estimate you are using C#:

string pattern = @"(\[[0-9a-fA-F]\]){16}"; // 16 chars of hex
Regex rgx = new Regex(pattern);
string dirName = GetFolderNameInGAMES();

foreach (Match match in rgx.Matches(dirName))
{
Console.WriteLine("Found '{0}' at position {1}", match.Value, match.Index);
}

This code should parse the 16 char hex string used in current format and make it possible to rename to a consistent name.

I didn't say this wasn't doable, I'm just saying that this folder structure has been decided throughout development, I cannot please everybody with it. So at some point a choice has to be made.

Hey no problem! it's your programm.
It was just a suggestion and thought you may like it too

Congratulations man, again, I have no more words, the tool is just amazing!
It is working perfect!

Yeah and it was a good one In fact the app used to sort games this way but people said there were too many folders. So, well, as you can see I had to chose between two opposed visions. And as timed passed I got kinda stuck. Renaming is possible but at this point I'm not sure people would like me to mess with their library.

Hi, i just take a look at this app and it seems to be very nice. I have one question. If i make my own rar with tickets, will i included my modified tickets or my unmodified tickets in this rar archive. The question is, if the app will modify the tickets by itself?

Thx

No, the app will not modify tickets

Best all in one downloader tool yet. Keep up the good work Hikari!

 

[Afraidium]

Hikari06 Only a few of my downloaded games are showing up.
Can you please show what the file structure looks like within the "DATA" folder please and thank you?

All of the game downloads are in the ESHOP folder. I However only NES Remix and the like are showing in your app.


EDIT: Resolved, there was an issue due to a certain site that hosts files related to this.

Idea:
You have: GAME Info | Screenshot

Maybe you can create a third one: GAME Info | Screenshot | YouTube
Try to find over a YouTube search:
[Gamename]+Wii+U+Gameplay

Maybe you already have a explorer window opened on this folder ?

No, there's nothing to worry about, only a few games have dlc.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

If I were you I would quickly edit my post and remove the link to that site

No, the app cannot modify a game without breaking signatrures.
Updates must be installed separatly.
