Uh... something strange just happened... I just installed a game, to my HDD, without a tik file (forgot to put it in my install folder by accident) using the BR modded WUPinstaller... and it... installed ? And is now updating ? How is that possible ?

Are you sure the .tik wasn't in the instal folder?
That seems really unlikely

Yes it wasn't but I figured it out.
I failed the installation before and it had the tik in there, I deleted the folder, redownloaded the title, and forgot to put the tik. But there was a partial installation on the HDD, so that might explain why it installed anyway.

Oh well that explains it, I bet the ticket is one of the first files to be installed due to the signature check.

Dlc can't be installed it's been tried. Wup won't work with it. Keys also could be console specific so wait till no SIG emunand/rednand

dusted the thing off now on 5.5.1 whats the next step? i been out of the scene for a while if you can please link to a guide thanks
  1. Download the starter pack and the modified wup installer
  2. Extract the starter pack to the root of a FAT32 formatted SD card
  3. Extract the modified wup installer files to the wiiu/apps/wupinstaller folder (you'll need to create it)
  4. Open the web browser and go to loadiine.ovh and run the exploit.
That's to get basic homebrew working

See the first post for the guide to install games to USB

My tool makes things a little easier though since it can automatically patch and download the game data in one go from just the .tik file

Of course it's your choice if you want to use something else

I recently installed Twilight Princess HD (USA) to the system memory.
The game shows up on the menu and boots fine, however, it boots without sound, and after putting the names for both Link and Epona it goes to a black screen.

Any suggestions?

Go into your system data and see what it says there, if it says there is unnecessary data there, the install corrupted, and if you're unlucky like myself it may be undeletable.

Turn off sleep mode on your USB by going into data management and holding down and minus and plus.

WUPInstaller give you some error message before it restarts?
I successufully installed Pikmin3 (USA) with the NexoCube WUPinstaller (the one in the OP)

I had unnecessary data, but fortunately It was deleted. And I already resolve my issue. It seems my internal storage is already low, that's why Pikmin 3 installs only a portion of it. It seems like Wii U system files takes a lot of space on the internal storage.
