WUP installer stuck at 0% for large games

[m_lance]

Hi there. Newer to the mod scene, but took my chances with the wii u and the newest Tiramisu CFW (completed everything yesterday). I have a Standard 32 gb sd card, and 1 TB seagate external hard drive. I am using USB helper for my wii u games and everything was good there, installed (with WUP gx) star fox zero, game and wario, and donkey kong freeze. However, when I try to load larger game files (4gb or higher) my WUP installer does not go past 0%, and have to hard restart to get out of it. This happens with Mario Kart 8, Splinter Cell, and sonic lost world. I have reformatted/built my SD card, and tried changing the folder names multiple times. Everything is up to date on my end, latest firmware, latest sig patch, etc... Yes, the games can actually download to the NAND through WUPgx, and I can move the game to USB storage, but the issue is when I try to load in the DLC to external USB the wii u system data management thinks its the same game, and wants to re-write and save over it. Its like i can only have one or the other when dumping to NAND then trying to move it over to the USB. Im stuck for now, any help team?

Hi, i think best i redirect u to this actuall thread with nearly the same Problem. Where we dont found a solution at the moment. Maybe if we stick them together we can find the Problem.

Thread 'problems installing apps/games on external USB drive' https://gbatemp.net/threads/problems-installing-apps-games-on-external-usb-drive.615194/

see if your hdd is going to sleep. there's a hidden menu in system settings to disable that function.

got it - thank you

 

[godreborn]

it works now?

 

[Sypherone]

What was the solution? HDD sleeping function?

it works now?

No sorry, just acknowledging the other thread on this issue

no - apologies - still reading through the other linked thread you gave

Is there any way to trick the wii u data management on the DLC move from NAND to not think its the same game and not over-write the main game?

 

[godreborn]

well, hopefully, it works. I might be able to come up with other ideas. I do my best thinking while gaming which is around this time.

 

[godreborn]

it's overwriting the data? dlc is in the 00050000c high id folder while the game is in the 000500000 folder.

yeah so wup installer can get the game to nand, ok cool no biggie, I then move it over to the USB. Then when I get DLC to nand and try move it to the USB it thinks its actuall game and wants to write over the original game. odd

When adding dlc you must play the game first ie create a save file and then you should be able to move them from nand.

I'd also try copying them over first and verifying your files are complete when downloaded as usb helper does from time to time end before getting all files and the verify download option grabs the rest.

U can check the installed titleIDs and tickets with tik2sd of the game and dlc. Launch the app and by pressing A they will be dumped to SD:\tik2sd.
Maybe they are the same?!? If the ticket creates the Problem maybe its possible to create a new one with Nuspli, USBhelper or another tool.

Hey there !
Not sure if this thread is still alive but I am a new Wii U owner and I am running into the same issue.

After seeing your post I tried installing to NAND instead of usb and I see that its currently installing.

Did you find a solution to this ?

What CFW are you using ? Maybe we have the same one. But the guy who sold it to me didnt know and I don't know how to determine either.

Were you successful moving the game from NAND to Usb ?


Any info would be appreciated!

I honestly don’t remember I got it to work. I think I got the game and dlc all on the nand first, and moved everything all at once over to the external hd.

@skinnygorilla Try installing games with NUSSpli instead. It's much more convenient as it downloads files directly from Nintendo Update Servers, so there's no need to copy files over to the SD card. (Except for the games that aren't available on NUS, like Mass Effect 3.)

But the guy who sold it to me didnt know and I don't know how to determine either.

That shouldn't be hard.

Does you gamepad screen glitch (i.e. your screen goes to black, white line appears and then it says Wii U Menu) when you turn on the console? If so, you're on Tiramisu.
Do you have a Haxchi or DONT TOUCH ME icon on your Home menu? If so, you have Haxchi or CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi). CBHC also have "Autobooting" message when your console powers on, I believe.
