No need to be sorry brother. I just replied to the OurLoader comment because it would be similar. OurLoader works by launching the disc path directly if I remember correctly, so it would be another region loader, but I do not support OurLoader's author.

Understood XD.

I have two questions.

1. NEW-NUSGrabber and UWizard download files a little differently. Is one correct? Examples below.

2. When I extract the WUD file with UWizard to get to the title.tik file is it decrypting the file (and would that cause an issue with trying to install it on the Wii U)?

One thing worth mentioning, while the UWizard files do not have extensions, the file sizes line up with the .app files downloaded from NEW-NUSGrabber.

It can brick if :
-The title you are installing is from other regions (NAND only)
-The title is a system title
And that's all i know :o

Certainly nothing really can happen if a title is installed on NAND if the .tik is correct and the game file is complete (NUSGrabber may download a game uncompletely, especial if we are talking about games like 17gb to 20gb)

so if we only install to HDD then nothing will brick, right?

Nope, there is one guy ottawa_gamerz working on dumping it for USA region, it should be up on THAT iso site possibly by tomorrow, at least the tik which is all we need.
He cant do it. He didnt know he needed a dev kit to do it. Someone askd him if he had the hardware to do it and he said no. He doesnt own a dev kit. So unfortunately its not gonna happen for a while most likely

I just whipped this up if anyone wants to try compiling it. I won't be near a computer with compile tools or a Wii U until the weekend.
It has been modified to allow updates (0x0005000E...) or games (0x00050000...).

This should allow you to select an install folder with the up/down keys.
0 = the standard \install\
1 = \install\1\
2 = \install\2\
etc.

I forked dimok789's code
https://github.com/Yardape8000/wupinstaller


it can be used on usa console and eur consle ??

Thanks for your answer. Ok for recommended in both mode , but if anyone CAN confirm that bis USB work in wiiU mode but not in vwii that proove the power is volontary down
Who's USB?

Nevermind, I understand now. Even if it does get lowered in vWii (it would be the mAh not the voltage), it doesn't matter. The answer is the same regardless.

If you want to use a single USB port get a Pen Drive, I have not had power issues with any of them yet. My 64GB works just fine.

Sorry for my so bad english. I asked this question before trying to format my drive with my wiiU in wiiU format or first buying an Y-cable because i never had issues on my old wii with just one plugged.
I will take your solution with pen drive for test some game.

The old Wii does not require a Y cable for a lot of self-powered drives. You are correct. It is the Wii U itself.

Good luck on the pen drive!

I'm confused about the instructions, so the OP states that I get the game from NUS, but that I have to get the ticket from an extracted WUD game. If that's the case, does that mean I have to somehow
get the .TIK file from the NUS-downloaded game or one of my own? I'm so confused :wacko:

Seems you install the download from NUS with WUPinstaller, but use the other file to decrypt and grab tik for modding +/-2 hex then install...

Just google search for the tik = prob halved.
