there's a two-byte change with the seeprom with every dump, which I don't understand. I'm aware of the sequential change, but this doesn't really make sense to me. I don't know what the two bytes do, but those are the only changes.
It isn't important, the important part is the seed in the seeprom, which is at 0xb0-0xc0. It won't change every dump, but only every system format (will increase by one)
I edited my comment with a second link that explains that better:

and, btw, is that via hex or decimal that you want to decrease by one, because I noticed that the versions.bin uses decimal values for each version of stuff you have installed?

when you say decrease by one, do you mean like if you formatted, then you wanted to read the usb hdd after dumping the seeprom after the format?
Yes excatly.

How would one go about modifying the file to decrease by one? I'm encountering the 'bad key' error and think that might be the solution to my problem, but I have no idea how to modify the .bin file.

edit: nvm, I just learned what hexed.it is. Still, unfortunately, having no luck decreasing hex 0xBF (decreased from 1E all the way back to 00 :().

My goal is to have all my injects and Wii U Wup installed games be converted back to Wup files for backup purposes. In case my Wii U ever died I could just get another one and re-install everything, I'm also going to backup my saves.

I see on the first page this will not automatically accomplish this. How would I go about getting the ticket for each installed game?

How do I make physical games saves appear? Everytime I use this app, it just show the downloaded ones.

It may be possible, I'm not sure. You don't have much to lose at this point. Test with 1 game just to see if it works.

    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
