WOW this made things so easy. I was wracking my brain with the 500 non working, incorrect, obsolete ways to do this. I was making it more complicated than it needed to be. This was so ridiculously easy. Thank you!!
Hi Scott, homebrew my wii u with your tuto Amora and now install a lot a games .thanks for all your hard work :)
This dude has helped me more, than 7h of google research. Genuinely dude thank you i finally got my games to work on the wiiu ❤
When I go on the app I can’t find the Wii u but only Wii
Old video but I got a wii u for modding on christmas, and all of your videos have been immensly helpful! thank you so much funky (:
I picked one up yesterday and keep have storage issues at the install point in this video. Knowing you just did it a month ago gives me hope it's my SD card or USB storage. Will try new ones and try again
Thank you for the help, now i can finally play zelda wind waker :)
Funky Scott, you are incredible. You’re the only person who makes simple, easy to follow guides for home brewing Nintendo stuff. Thank you!
much love!! :D
Dude oh my God thank you so much, I just got my wii u and I've been STRUGGLING but you helped me out so much. You're a real one❤❤❤
Thanks Bro this was very helpful.
Big thanks from Canada. Straight fwd. good work
go canada go! :D
worked great thank you
Appreciate the video man, super helpful. Do you know if anything breaks if you install a game you already have save data for?
Nope nothing will break. It will just recognize the save data when you load the game up
I remember there was an option to play games in homebrew launcher it also had fire music
I really want help to get it
Ive never had issues with the extra characters. Also, I've never had issue with just clicking select all then install. They just install in the correct order if you leave the file names unaltered
That's a good thing to know :)
Thank you sir ❤
Thanks!
thank you so much
So i asked something simillar on another video but I guess this means we're beat if we decide to upgrade our flash drive space? Unlike the 2D no transfers?
But then I assume we could just use a 2nd one right?
you could just transfer your games to the wiiu nand and then onto your new flash drive
THANKS
everything is working great youre the best man. im looking for games i cant get on nuspli. i dont know where to go to download them. please help!
awesome! :) and can you find them on usb helper? migh thave to google search the specific game you're trying to get to find it somewhere
your a lad thanks
I’m having issues with audio loss and some games don’t function at all what can I do?
Do all the wiiu games have to be installed this way or is there a faster way like using WiiBackupManager and USBloaderGX for wii games?
For Wii games, you might as well do it the normal way for a Wii on a modded vWii.
Just now today bought a Wii U (yes am a bit late to the party), around 80 US well spent, will be using this for reference. 👍
good deal! A great choice to get it btw, wii u modding is going to be awesome since the servers shut down!
@@funkyscott47 I'd say very good deal. Three physical games included (gonna sell off two), Wii remote included, sensor bar included, console and handheld in great condition.
I'm itching to play Gamecube again and while I do have one hooked up if I have understood it correctly this console will allow me to do so handheld natively?
Is there a loader like USB loader GX (Wii) whereby all the games (3D covers etc) are displayed on a carousel and you scan select your game that way once installed on the HDD.
i play mario 3D world and Zelda breath of the wild on usbhelper ,
never owned a wiiu , so never got to play breath of the wild ,
but they both look amazing in 4K on a 69'' projector ,
and some well placed speakers with a little bit of ''space'' / reverb to fill the room
it's a fun game for free , too bad it's about the Only fun/descent game in the Entire collection of the wiiu that's on usbhelper
lol now i hoped you also tried Mario Kart 8
breath of the wild is on the switch too lol
When I try to download via USB it doesn't work, I tried with the SD Card (been formatted to Fat32) still doesn't work, then I tried using a USB where I can't change the format as I don't wanna lose all the games just for me to not be able to copy any games to it. Is there anyway to fix this?
I got this error "Verify WUP files are correct & complete. DLC/E-Shop require sig patch"
did you find a fix?
Ik this is an old video, but i accidentally named the game an update and the update a game and i downloaded them differently, will something bad happen
Thanks for the video! I ran into a problem, it says "this Software Cannot Be Played because the account that was used to purchase this game has been deleted.
Can I rename the folders if I'm going to install botw Wii u on the Steamdeck? Also, I didn't get a folder called installed. My game is in a USA folder, then games.😊
I'm following this guide but i don't have neither a hard drive nor a sub stick on hand. Would selecting nand during the installation mean the game is on the internal storage?
Yup nand is the Wii u's internal storage! You can keep an eye on storage space left on it in the Wii u settings too
@@funkyscott47 Thank you so much!
And here I am asking questions again... I followed a newer versione of the guide you used in your other videos and later installed wup installer gx2 but there wasn't an "Install" folder. I just tried to make one and put the game in there but wup installer says it doesn't detect any installable content. I think I'm missing something
@@niccofinni2286 did you ever figure out how to do it i don’t get it either
@@yungbeanz2364 i just installed NUSspli, downloads take a little longer but you do it directly on the console. The only game i found issues with is wii party U but the rest is fine. FunkyScott47 has a guide on it and it works like a charm
i downloaded captain toad and super mario 3d world both those games don't open up. it just gets stuck. while shovel knight and zeld windbreaker works fine. I have tried multiple times to run those two games but they do not open up. what could be the issue?
TM logo on the folder maybe (Im guessing).
I’m having an issue downloading updates. It keeps crashing the program. Do I need anything else other than the base wup installer gx2, and tiramisu?
road to 10k lets gooo
almost there!!!
Im trying to install zelda botw but when it gets to around 3180 it gives me a error and says replace sd card how do i fix it btw im useing usb and it does the same thing with nand :(
I used your guide and my install folder has nintendont, ULGX, etc. in it. Is this the right folder to install games in?
Yup!
i have a question are you supposed to create a new folder on the root of ur sd card and name it install where all the games are there? I don’t really get how you got that file already there
if you downloaded the games from usb helper and transferred them on from the app, they should be already in an install folder that would be automatically created. If not, you can just create one yourself too
Bonsoir,
Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos.
Mais cela ne fonctionne pas pour moi 🤔. J'ai installé Tiramisu + Aroma, USB Helper sur mon PC. Le téléchargement se passe bien mais lorsque je souhaite installer le jeu avec WUP installler, il y a un message d'erreur.
Pouvez-vous m'aider s'il vous plait? Une idée?
Merci
which wup installer are u using plus which one ar u instilling the games to
A question for NUSspli, I'm a broke boy myself the largest SD card I have is 8gb which I gave to my dad when I modded his 3ds, I have a 4gb SD card and a 2gb USB drive. I want to install games onto my nand but since my SD and USB are to small I cannot install what I want (Twilight princess HD) as it's 4.46gb I would like to install it onto the nand but it says "This may brick your console are you sure you want to continue?" and I'm afraid of bricking my Wii U and since I have no money on hand I wouldn't be able to afford a new one. Can you help me confirm that it'll work if I go through and potentially brick my console?
did you try it? I have the same question and I want to know if it is safe to do it now that the wii u and 3ds servers were shut down by nintendo
in my install folder there were already files named like nintendont and not 64 no idea what to do with them should I just ignore them when installing my games
when i take out the sd card after copying the games to it everything inside the install folder gets deleted. what could this be and how could i fix it
So I need some help, where do I put the files to be installed? Bc it doesnt tead my drive with the games to be installed
I deleted my files for a game on my sd card and went to click on the game it says game data is corrupted even though I have a usb. Need help figuring this out
My SD Card is only 4GBs, can I save the games directly on the USB drive?
For some reason dlc doesn't load for me even though installs in wupinstallergx
For me, Batman arkham origins does not recognize it when installing, I open the wup installer but it gives an error saying that it did not find any installable content. Has anyone downloaded this game and installed it normally? Sorry for the English, using google translator ....
Edit: Just remove the (tm) symbol (or any other special symbol) from the folder name that wup will recognize.
Im taking notes
I having trouble getting DLC on super mario bros u can you give me the link that you have and show me how to fix it
I need help so when i place games at the (install) folder and open wup installer gx2 it says no data detected at folder tried with 2 legend of zelda games can anyone help?
Hello
I have Q
Can I remove game file from SD after installation? And it keeps working, because the memory is full and I want to install other games.
Is it possible to install to SD instead of to USB/NAND? Great video thanks
No, it has to be installed onto usb or nand
@@funkyscott47 Damn I might just use NUSspli instead. My wiiu arrives tomorrow thanks for all of your tutorials can't wait to use them.
It installs games but updates I’m not entirely sure for example update 1.6 for dk still shows 1.1.0. Can someone verify? I use usb helper.
What do you recommend to use a USB stick or a hard drive? I have read that USB sticks are not good to play games because they malfunction quickly. Regards
I would recommend a hard drive with a y splitter cable as I have heard some people's usb drives stopped working, but I haven't had any issues with my 128 Gb pny so it might be a hit or miss
@@funkyscott47 Again thanks so much for your insight!
@@funkyscott47 what’s a pny
nvm sorry😂
@@slugoo6474 That's the brand.
Bro you can't do this just from the SD card can you? You must have a USB Adapter?
Hey I just clicked onto this video because I have a Wii U modded to be region free with the 119 value in the XML and all that, but USA Mario Kart 8 crashes unless I use spiik to force it to load in English. The only problem is, I want to play mods for the game, and that would require SDCafiine which can't run on top of spiik. So, I tried dumping my MK8 disk, replacing the files with the mod's ones, and packing it into an installable format with NUSPacker, with the hope that when I installed it, I could use it with Spiik. The only problem is, when I try to install it with WUP Installer GX2 I get the error "Verify WUP files are correct & complete. DLC/E-Shop require sig patch." (Let me also clarify that I would prefer not to pirate anything). Any ideas?
Me too...
@@Rocky-sk1kg So I don't know how similar your situation was but my problem was that I didn't put the Wii U common key into the "encryptKeyWith" file. Putting it in fixed it and it installs fine now.
@@montymole297 where is that file??
@@Rocky-sk1kg I don't remember for sure but it should be in the root folder of the app? You might just need to create the file in like Notepad with no extension if it isn't there
EDIT: Also are you packing a game with NUSPacker or just downloading/installing it? Just making sure that you're having the same problem
@@montymole297 i m using Wiiusb helper and then dragging game files in the install folder
Is the name of the pc app you used called something like Wii U Downloader?
Hi Scott, quick question. When I download the game, can I delete the files from my sd card to save space? Also, will I need to have my usb plugged into the wii u every time I play a game?
yup! you no longer need to file in the install folder once you have it installed on your wii u. and if you have the game installed to your usb drive then yes
What if the game I want to download says (CFW ONLY)? What would I have to do in order to download and play it safely? I run on aroma
Now You're Talking My Language.
sooo this is my only option for DLCs for games like Batman Arkham Origins or Mario Kart 8 huh? on a real Wii U?
Hey man, Can I download dlc for mario kart 8 if i have base game on disc?
No other way? transferring from SD Card to HDD doesn't seem effective, i am wondering if there is a direct way from PC to HDD via cable.
What happens if you install the update first and the game afterwards?
so do have to have use usb or can just loed them from sd ?
i want to download paper mario and the thousands year door but it ask it ask me for the ISO, where could i find it?
Do you know how to download call of duty black ops 2 because I didn't find any, only just the update
I formated my 64gb sd card to fat32, but apparently you can't store files larger then 4gb on a fat32 card. Any tips?
You can split files with Wii backup manager ua-cam.com/video/9-aXSgsL7xA/v-deo.html
@@funkyscott47 Thank you!
so is the sd card just used for transferring the files onto the wii u or can it be used to store games on the wii u cuz i got a fairly large one so i can fit more games on the wii u so will that work?
It's only used to transfer Wii u games on, but you can store Wii, gcn, and other retro games on it
Is there a way to be able to install games to the sd card rather than a usb drive
Are games downloaded with these methods playable online?
Yup
Do i need a sd card for games or can i use also a usb stick to download games
I cant Download games that have no virtual console like mario party 8. I have to inject it into iso how i do that?
Those initial files are wux format?
Can we get an update but without using usb helper
*************** some things you can ignore from most of these videos **************************
1) Dont bother renaming. Wii U usb helper manages this for you and tells you when it detects a bad filename. If you are installing a large library then you'll regret starting this way.
2) Let wii U usb helper manage the sd copy
3) Install everything from sd at the same time, updates and dlc will be installed after the game anyway.
4) arcade punks has a wiiu retro image which works very well. It is slow to open but is great.
hey i dont have a usb drive can you do with just a sd card
Transfer the games do you mean I just need send the games to install folder?
Does a usb stick with an sd card adapter work?
I have a problem i have an usb stick from 128 gb but it won't work every time i plug it in it gives an error
Try plugging that in your pc to see if it wiil say "Something is wrong" and then you'll scan and repair.
Question, if I have a 256GB sd card can I just use the nand?
Once I install the games to my USB, is it okay to delete the files from my SD card and PC?
Yup!
It's okay buddy
4:05 "this one's a lot quicker, it's not that big" -she said
Omg 😂
I am facing an issue with my hacked Wii U that has a USB helper installed. Whenever I try to play the game with updated data, it shows an error message saying "The data is corrupted." I have tried turning the console on and off, but the error persists, and it prompts me to update the data. I am unsure if the problem is with my USB the USB helper, or the data update. Could you please help me with this?"
on a converted console, can i install wii u games on sd card?
hey im new to modding wii u, does my file for my rom have to be wbfs or iso
Is there any way to make it so that the games can stay on a usb or external hard drive rather than the sd card?
The game files need to be on the SD card at first. After installing them with WUP installer, you can delete the game files off the SD card. Just make sure you're installing the games to the USB and not nand.
My USB "powers off" every time I try to do this with Xenoblade Chronicles X. It is the only game I cannot get to work. Incredibly frustrating
so i need a usb stick to leave the games?, can i not just leave the games in the sd card? i bought a 127 GB sd card thinking i could store my games there
you can't play wii u games from your sd card, but you can play anything from wii or older on it using other methoids like wiiflow and nintendont. you can also install wii u games to your nand if you'd like
Legit same thing i thought about when buying an sd card, was about to buy a 256 Sd card but thought about watching the video again about 3 days after and pretty happy the shipping was slow so i cancelled it and just bought a 64 gb sd and a 256 gb usb with it and the usb i use and it working fine is the sandisk 256 gb usb stick as most of the sandisk ones work with it
Hey Scott can I delete the games off my SD card once I send them over to my USB or do I have to keep the files on there?
You should be able to since there installed on the flash drive the sd card game files are just the install
I run the games on the USB stick and it says there’s a problem with the drive. Is there a solution to that?
I can't add games to my install folder on my sd because the file is too large for the memory card's format. The games are 12-24gb. Any work around?
Did you get it working? I assume the USB helper program does it.
Now my question is when I want to play my Wii games on my other flash drive, is it ok to remove the Wii U one when I boot into USB loader GX?
yup! you can switch them up depending which one youre using
@@funkyscott47 yep I figured it out thanks lol
Is there any way that we can transfer the games to the USB drive via FTP rather than the SD card?
I haven't used FTP so I'm not sure
There probably is an app for it, but it would be slower than plugging it into your pc
I downloaded the WUP installer and it’s not on my screen idk what to di
Could you transfer the game to another drive and ultimaley just have unlimited storage since I have 2 TB on one drive or does it have to stay on the sd?
If you plug both USB devices into your Wii u you can transfer from one to the other! And you can delete the files in your install folder once they are installed
I have sd formatted to fat 32 how do I store wiiu games on it????? It keeps saying that the file is too big, max on fat 32 is 4gb. Help
for me it stop transfer the file and stay like that help what to do
I followed all the instructions correctly but there is always an error when downloading it onto my usb it says to turn off the console and i have install onto my nand for the game to work is there a solution to this problem any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
Did you find a fix
This may be a dumb question but does ethernet make the download quicker for the game when downloading it into the usb
?
Can you download the games onto the nand and then move them in system settings to the usb drive cus for some reason the wiiu recocnizes my usb drive but wup doesnt
You should be able to yup! Is it formatted to the Wii u?
@@funkyscott47 i got it working now👍
Then it's safe to delete the game from the SD card install folder?
Is NUSspli gone then? I don't have access to my Wii U at the moment but that worked fine last time I used it, and much more convenient.
Nope nuspli should still work! I had made a tutorial on how to get games from usb helper but had to take it down for community guideline rules. Got lots of questions on how to install the games from there so I made this video :)
@@funkyscott47 gotcha, cheers mate.
@@funkyscott47 which better?, Instal Wii games from Nusspli or wiiusbhelper?
@@ollyor12 nuspli is a lot easier so that's what i prefer!
@@funkyscott47 bro can you make video how to install region free on Wii u
