"Download game from NUS"
What program is NUS? :O
it's not a program, it's a place : Nintendo Update Server.
you get the game directly from their servers...

You can use JNUSTool program to get the game's files.

run in a command prompt:
java -jar JNUSTool.jar <titleID> -dlEncrypted

example to get update v16 for that gameID 1011A700:
Code:
java -jar JNUSTool.jar 0005000E1011A700 v16 -dlEncrypted

Would be handy to have a file size record of NUS downloads. NUS grabber sometimes says it complete ad has only downloaded 200Mb when it should be 5GB. It does not seem to be very reliable. Is it better just to use command line?

Is there a NUS file size record anywhere for each game do you know?

Just a stupid question.
I can download from NUS, but the archives i get, don't show .app, .h3, or so.
That matters in any way? And if so, how do i know which is which?
Help is very much appreciated.

Before someone asks, i have the extensions shown by default, ever, in any computer i am.

Is the whole folder you download from nus supposed to go in the install folder or just the files? is it SD/install/0005000010143600/files?

rayman legends eu needs a -2 0F byte adjust (not +2 as with DKCTF) proving that if you don't succeed at first, try +/-2 on that 0F byte after changing the 01 byte to 01

So.. If the game isn't avaiable on NUS is not possible to install to HDD? I can't get to install the game from my own disc? It's that right?

Its not working for me I just get MCP_install error. So the folder structure is the same as if your doing an update?
yes, that's not "as if you do an update", it's just the way you install a package from NUS.

put the downloaded files in install folder and run wup.

remember, you can install only ONE title at a time. don't mix files or put multiple games.

that's not the correct place to put your savegame.

on WiiU, play the game to get a savegame. any game, but preferably the same you want to restore, so you'll get the correct location and TitleID where to put your savegame files on your computer (not on SD!)
on computer, launch saviine using "dump" mode
on WiiU launch Saviine homebrew and set the computer's IP
launch that game
Saviine on PC will ask you if you wantto dump Common and/or User folder. select both.
it will generate a folder in saviine/saviine_root/dump/ on your computer with a number (it's the titleID of that game, something like this : 00050000-101C4C00)
inside you have "common" and "80000000x".

close saviine on your computer
exit the game (do not shutdown the console or you'll need to relaunch the homebrew)
copy your "c" content into "common"
copy your "u" content into "80000000x"
move the folder with the titleID (00050000-101C4C00) from "dump" to "inject"
launch saviine on your computer and choose restore mode
launch your game on wiiU
Thank you so much ,this worked , your post should be featured tbh , you made it way simpler than the explanation in the Saviine thread :D

Again.. easiest if you post a screenshot of the folder, so we can see the structure, is the title.tik named correctly?
