Hello everyone,

I'm quite noob and slow to understand some concepts of Wii U hacking.

There are 3 games I own the original disc but I can't put them on my Wii U's USB HDD because I can't download it from utikdownloadhelper. My games are "007 Legends", "Runbow Deluxe Edition" and "Guitar Hero Live". I figured it was not a big deal for 007 and Guitar because my discs still work ok but my Runbow disc doesn't boot anymore.

Recently, I found a website that hosts "007 Legends" and "Runbow Deluxe Edition" as "WUPINSTALLER" Wii U games. I checked the content of the files and they are indeed a folder with the .tik files and all the other stuff I'm used to see from a utikdownloadhelper games.

Does it look legit to you? Is there a risk to brick my Wii U if I try to install this game on my USB HDD? I'd like to play my game again when friends come over! We had so much fun with this game!

Also.. Is there an easy way to copy my 007 and Guitar games on the HDD from the disc itself?

Thank you for your time!

No risk. Give it a try. It will either work or it won't. You can delete it if it doesn't work

Thank you very much! :)

As for copying my disc on my HDD, I've seen old guides around. I'll look more into it. Maybe the youtuber GameInCanada did a guide about it. :)

if you have the disc version of a game you can just use disc2app to convert it to wup installer files

    are you using haxchi, tiramisu or aroma?
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    no, I'm asking which one of them you are using
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    in that case, there is no such thing as homebrew launcher for aroma
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    you have to launch your homebrews directly from the wii u menu
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    there is a plugin that display them on the wii u menu, pretty sure it is enabled by default
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    so like it doesnt exist
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    yeah
    ?
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    it doesn't exist, at least not for aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    ohhhhh
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    on tiramisu you can access it by opening mii maker
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    okay
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    but homebrew is appearing in the home menu btw
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, now I remember it
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    then it is working, I also don't like that they did this but it is the only option you have if you are using aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    i just didint know the homebrew launcher didint exist in aroma
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
