Alright, its working now, the storage_mlc folder appeared. I can't seem to find a directory with the title key of NewSMB U + SL U though:
00050000-1014B700, im also not seeing regular New SMB U: 00050000-10101D00. At least we've gotten into the correct directory, hopefully were close to figuring this out, any other ideas on what/where it may be? Ive included screen shots again.

try 0005000e. that's where games with patches are stored. luigi u may be considered a patch.

I don't think its in here either.

the tmp folder? I'm not sure where games are kept if there's an error in installation. they're probably stored somewhere temporarily then.

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

btw, it may not be named after the title id which could pose a problem. the ps3 does this as well. it will have INST_time of install written in numbers with the year being first. it will appear in the game folder like it should though. this is only for failed installs. failed deletes are also done this way with DEL_time of deletion. it's recorded in the metadata indexer which is probably what's going on with the wii u. it sees the files/folders (probably). it just can't access them.

Good news! Im pretty sure I've found it, the game ID and file size seem to match up, your opinion? It was in /storage_mlc/usr/import/00050000/1014b700 (1014b700 is the ID for NSMB U + NSL U), do you think I should try deleting it?

1014b700 its New Super Mario Bros for Wii U.

rpx is the main executable for a game. you're probably right. the game must be stored there before arriving at its destination. I don't know for sure that though, but it seems likely. app.xml and possibly cos.xml are associated with installs. I know they're present with official installs. you might know for certain if you grab the app.xml and open it with notepad++.

 

[Ron_Harrison]

I opened up app.xml and it does have the correct game ID: 14 000500101000400A 000500001014B700 0000 20806 80000000 0000101D

 

[godreborn]

you should probably delete the entire folder then.

 

[Ron_Harrison]

you should probably delete the entire folder then.

One more question before I take action, should I delete the folder that has the games ID? or should I delete one of the sub folders? Im thinking the folder with the games ID.

 

[ScarletDreamz]

ill prefer to delete it at, since the folder will be already there, possible making a conflict on the install, don't take my word for it, delete the 00050000 folder.

 

[godreborn]

you most likely need to delete the 00050000 folder, because the 0005000e folder is for patches. the import folder must be the tmp directory for installs, so it must list say 00050000 or 0005000e during installation. it probably just copies the folders into the title folder which doesn't affect what's already installed. it's probably like say windows where any new content is merged with the old by dropping the folder and its content.

Alrighty, Im gunna try deleting the 00050000 folder under the import folder. Lets hope all goes well.

 

[godreborn]

I hope so too. we will have learned something new if everything goes right.

I dont think this is new o-o;

As formatting the console does the exact same thing C:

 

[Ron_Harrison]

Bingoooooooo! Yep, that was the exact folder!

 

[ScarletDreamz]

I mean, after like 4 confirmation, lols, there's a tittle id database:
http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database

so yep ;D anyways, grats i guess C:

 

[Ron_Harrison]

Thank you everyone for your help! I greatly appreciate it!
