I wanted to dump the men files to apply the Old Swap Icon And Old Icon Animation Wii U Menu Mod files patch (it changes some icons and animations to the old ones, it also brings Nintendo TVii icon back!) and use it with SDCafiine or Aroma (not permanent), so when I installed FTPiiU in my Wii U and WinSCP in my PC to access the files, I was able to dump Men2.pack, but Men.pack just gave me this error:

Code:
Error transferring file '/fs/vol/content/Common/Package/Men.pack'.
Copying files from remote side failed
Not a directory

I even tried rebooting the Wii U, opening and closing the WinSCP, copying the entire Package folder, making a folder to copy the file etc. but nothing seems to work. Any idea to what's causing the problem? (Also, I need the european men.rpx file, but my Wii U is american, where can I get the other region file?)

UPDATE: managed to get the european men.rpx file :D, but still cant dump Men.pack :(

UPDATE 2: tried even more things, installed FileZilla but it gave the same exact error, tried using WiiUFtpServer, but couldn't even find the file because all the folders were different (I think it accessed other parts of the system) so I have no idea on what to do now :( (also, if anyone here randomly googled this and is trying to get the european men.rpx file, you can find it in here [it's not allowed to directly give the file])

UPDATE 3 (the best one): I was able to get Men.pack from the same dump I got men.rpx and placed the files on their places (see Section III: Prepping files for SDCafiine and first item in Patches) and... IT WORKED!!! :toot:

    Yea ps3 is a beast still to today compared to most "sticks"
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you just want pi for emulation no point when Anbernic releases new shit every two seconds

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
