Hi Guy I download the Wiiu game from NUSspli, inresult my game file is different file types, also without sub folder. Is there a way I can convert my downloaded game to be same as this tutorial
Hi there, thanks for creating the tutorial, really helpful 
I just tried with Captain Toad on my Japanese Wii U, but error when installing with WUP Installer.
I have followed the tutorial, but instead of using CDecrypt, I'm unpacking it using USB Helper.
I have some simple questions:
1. Does the step have to be repeated for the UPD and DCL? Or is it just for a single main file?
2. Should we use the JAP version of UPD and DCL or the US version?
3. I always find multiple results when googling the Wii U Common key. (eShop/Demo/DLC/Patch) Which version should we use?
4. Why does the NUSpacker result seem different from my original files? My original WUP has 25 files, but the NUSpacker version only has 21 files.
Thank you very much

You are following a guide from 2020. These days you have a much better option.
Do you have Aroma?
No > Get Aroma: https://aroma.foryour.cafe/
Yes > Play all games from any regions in both digital and physical without having to jump through all the hoops.
Oh look up Nusspli and WiiUDownloader too.
Wait so I have a japanese console and I downloaded europe mario kart 8 and its stuck on the splash screen. Im running tiramisu. But if I get aroma and then run the europe mario kart 8, will it work?
No way the aroma developer
I have a question: Can I still use the wup installer gx2 I used when I had tiramisu, in Aroma to download my games?

Yes you can but you are better off using nuspii. It has way wore features and is constantly updated. Wup Installer is old and not as good.No way the aroma developer
Ty for the help! I downloaded the nusspli app when I still used tiramisu. I can just use that one right? Or is there a special aroma version of nusspli?

FYI, don't forget to copy 01_sigpatches file from Tiramisu folder and paste it in Aroma too,....aroma>modules>setup. Otherwise none of the games will load.
Ty for mentioning it, luckily I was watching a tutorial where the guy did that so I’m good
So a Japanese Wii U with cfw isn't the way to go? I was thinking about getting one and was wondering why they're so cheap on ebay
is there any way to get Twilight Princess to work??
Post automatically merged:
So I downloaded Twilight Princess HD usa ver and when i booted it up its in Japanese, does the game work in english with a modded wii u at all? ive been clueless because i only got a wii u for this game specifically lol
Would anyone know which current numbers should be used to prevent the automatic update on Mario Kart 8 that keeps overwriting the US translation?
Or if there is a guide I could use to find those myself.
For anyone else having an issue with Mario Kart in 2023, I was having trouble installing the re-encrypted edited files as per the instructions. Kept getting a sig patch error when trying to install. Even with Mocha CFW. Tried installing with both Tiramisu and Aroma. What eventually worked for me is installing the Japanese version of Mario Kart as is including the update and DLC (all untouched) then booting up Tiramisu and the homebrew channel and launching ftpiiu everywhere (note: doesn't work in Aroma, ftpu is available in aroma but doesn't give you full access to the internal/external drives on the wii u). I found where the game was installed on my USB (usr\00050000\1010EB00) then followed the exact same instructions of steps 4 and 5 on the Wii U itself. Worked like a charm.
Other troubleshooting tips, I couldn't get the homebrew menu to launch from the forwarder in Tiramisu, had to first delete the file on my SD card: SD:\wiiu\environments\tiramisu\modules\setup\50_hbl_installer.rpx
Can confirm the rest of the games listed all work fine with the EUR version and Aroma using the built in region free plugin (can be accessed by holding L + D-Pad Down + Minus). Make sure to have prefer system settings for in-region titles set to false and the rest set to true and of course Default language for EUR and USA to English.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
