Hacking WUP Installer [crediar / WiiU]

[Adr990]

works perfectly now
maybe you have a special plugin/addon running .. not quite sure why your website has that jquery thing.

I thought of that, but the browser that ends up being used for parsing is the WebBrowser from DotNet.

But hey, it works, thanks again!

Why can someone on page 1 say what this does not do when actually Crediar himself has not confirmed anything of the sort. Who says you cannot install full games from NUS to your nand? it mentions nothing in his WUP installer guide.

So with this I
- CAN install game updates
- CANNOT reinstall games I do own
- CANNOT install games I don't own

What can it do?
This hack allows you to install any valid NUS content from an SD card, including game updates.
The easiest way to obtain those is directly from Nintendo's NUS (see tools).

So, what websites do I have to go to on the Wii U with the update on my SD card?

Installing games requires your Wii U specific key.
They're encrypted and won't boot/appear if they're not installed with the proper key.

Take the 3DS CIAs as an example.

it depends on how exactly they are installed, we dont really have all that much info, but it depends on if the content files can be installed without a ticket or if the ticket install is required by the process......but for games you already own your system would already have the valid ticket installed, its just the actual game files that need to be re-installed.....i guess a ticket extraction utility would be a way around that if a ticket is 100% needed for the process to work (although i have no idea how close anyone is to extracting tickets atm)

this is all of course only for content you already owned and the system has a signed ticket installed to the nand

 

[stsaerox]

I'm a bit nervous about it.... Am I doing it right?

Also this "LINK" at the instructions.... what does it mean? You won't tell us yet or it is known from anyone that knows how to run the exploit?

 

[Margen67]

"Is she going to be okay, doc?"
"Well, unfortunately sir..."
"What?"
"Due to some complications.."
"..."
"She's been updated. Now she's more stable than ever."
"but uhh.. don't worry.. the devs said they'll release the 5.4.0 exploit Soon(tm)"
".."

 

[mariogamer]

The link doesn't work??

 

[LawnMeower]

The link doesn't work??

I think it's a placeholder for the actual link as soon as his exploit is finished

 

[snake218]

The link doesn't work??

Nope, not for me. I guess soon..

 

[Deleted member 361703]

Nope, not for me. I guess soon..

We really need to update op with big red letters THIS IS FOR THE END USER TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE THE SPOOFER NOTHING IS RELEASED AT THIS TIME

Do we know if Snes VC wads can be decrypted using this method? I'd like to see if there are config files to mess around with and see what makes some ROMs work and not others.

"How does firmware spoofing work?
The Wii U uses a binary file which has the current version and region of the system saved to it called version.bin.
In this case we install the content from the latest version title and so the system has the version.bin from the latest version."

Does this mean we can basically change our Wii U region by installing another region version.bin ? That easy ?!?

We don't know the details yet, that sounds pretty risky, but Crediar will update or give us more information soon.

 

[Ailuros27]

Here is the command I used to get the US version.bin
NUSGrabber.exe 0005001010041100

But when I use this to try to get the latest Splatoon update, the program opens then closes real quick, and no files are created:
NUSGrabber.exe 00050000E101CDE00

The same thing happens when I use this command to try to get the latest Hyrule Warriors update:
NUSGrabber.exe 00050000E1017D800

If I leave out the "E" it works fine, but downloads the entire game. What am I doing wrong? And before you say I'm some noob who doesn't know how to use a command line, I use them all the time. Mostly on Mac, but I've created and run .bat files for other purposes in Windows before and never had this kind of issue.

 

[Ailuros27]

Never mind. I got it. I figured out what I did wrong. I thought you added an "E", when you actually change the 8th digit to an "E". I feel so stupid.

 

[Ailuros27]

On to a more important question.

When updating our games, we should just use the latest update, right? Even if we already have some of the previous updates installed? For example, I updated Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros., and Hyrule Warriors as far as I could before 5.4.0 came out. So I have some updates for each, but not the latest. I suppose I could just delete all the game updates and install the latest using crediar's tool, just to be safe. I know that doesn't affect save data, at least on Hyrule Warriors, because I already deleted an update once then redownloaded it because it didn't take for some reason. My save data was unaffected by that.

To be honest, you probably won't get an answer that's right until it is out, and makes them right. That said, I'd think a clean install is best, but I'm thinking from a different perspective ( windows). On Wii and Wii u it probably replaces files (theyre archives) and updates the fst (tmd) as well as a ticket for the update.

I was never really sure how the files were stored though. In files or still in the "archives".


Hope that helps. Prob not what you want to hear. Lol

 

[Ailuros27]

That was my impression as well. File replacement would explain why the updates seem much smaller and download much faster on the Wii U, because they only get the latest changed files. But when we download them on PC, it's as if we're doing a clean install, thus we get ALL the files.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

OH! I just had a thought! If we can install anything we can get a ticket for, does that mean the Xenoblade X packs that reduce loading times could be installed if we had enough internal space? Of course, without the ability to disable on-disk firmware updates, we couldn't play it...

Thinking about it further, they'd probably have separate title IDs. I don't see such title IDs in the database at Wii U Brew, even though the Japanese version of the game has been out for months. Hmmm...

Version.bin only holds the version not the actual Region
