| ===Dumping your games, updates, DLC's or transfering saves===
| |
| '''Prerequisites:'''
| |
| * An SD card and a way to put files on it (if your PC doesn't have a SD card reader, you could use a laptop that does have one).
| |
| * A homebrewed Wii U while being able to launch (see https://wiiu.hacks.guide/ for a guide on how to do this). Just make sure that you know how to launch Mocha CFW or CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi) and go into the Homebrew Channel.
| |
| * Enough space on your computer to store the games on.
| |
| * If you want to dump physical games, you'll need to have that SD card that you use above be 24+ GB or have a seperate USB stick that's FAT32 formatted.
| |
| <br/>
| |
| You'll also need to place a few files on your SD card. Choose the steps according to which method you use:
| |
| * If you use CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi):
| |
| ::* Download Disc2App from https://github.com/koolkdev/disc2app/releases/download/v1.0/disc2app.zip and place <code>Mocha.elf</code> into your <code>SD:\wiiu\apps</code> folder.
| |
| ::* Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://github.com/FIX94/ftpiiu/releases and place <code>ftpiiu.elf</code> into your <code>SD:\wiiu\apps</code> folder.
| |
| | |
| * If you want to use Mocha, you'll need to install some alternative files:
| |
| ::* Download Disc2App from https://github.com/koolkdev/disc2app/releases/download/v1.0/disc2app.zip and place <code>Mocha.elf</code> into your <code>SD:\wiiu\apps</code> folder.
| |
| ::* Download FTPiiU Everywhere from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526469047890739220/542145496374837250/ftpiiu_everywhere.zip and place <code>ftpiiu.elf</code> into your <code>SD:\wiiu\apps</code> folder.
| |
| | |
| ====Steps for physical copies====
| |
| =====Dumping the game to your PC=====
| |
| * Remove your Game Disc from the Wii U, Disc2App will ask for it later.
| |
| * Insert your SD card back into your Wii U.
| |
| * Open the Homebrew Channel.
| |
| * For CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi): Run Disc2App.
| |
| * For Mocha: Run Mocha CFW '''first''' and let the Wii U restart. After that, try launching the Homebrew Channel again, and '''now''' run Disc2App.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Disc2App.png|550px]]
| |
| | |
| * Select either SD or USB to dump your game discs on.
| |
| :: Again, make sure that 24+ GB free on your SD card/USB stick. And if you use an USB stick make sure it's FAT32 formatted.
| |
| * When asked, insert the disc for your game.
| |
| * The game is dumped to <code>SD/USB:\install\[TitleID Folder]</code>
| |
| * After it finishes, dump your next game or press home to exit and turn off your Wii U.
| |
| * Now, eject the storage device you dumped your disks on and access the SD card or USB stick.
| |
| | |
| * You can rename the [TitleID] folder of each game to the name of the game and move it to some folder you want to store your games in.
| |
| :: You can find the game's title ID on http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database#00050000:_eShop_and_disc_titles.
| |
| | |
| =====Decrypting your game=====
| |
| * Download Cdecrypt v2.0b from https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/526469047890739220/539529151095373824/Cdecrypt_v2.0b.zip .
| |
| * Extract the zip and go to that folder. Copy the same 3 files from the folder into '''all''' of the dumped game folders (or only 1 folder if you've dumped only 1 physical game).
| |
| * In each of the folders you've copied those files to, hold down CTRL and select both <code>title.tmb</code> and <code>title.tik</code>.
| |
| * Drag those 2 files onto CDecrypt_v2.0b.exe which will decrypt the game into <code>Code, Content, and Meta</code> folders.
| |
| * You may now delete all files except the folders <code>Code, Content, Meta</code>. And now repeat the steps until you've decrypted all of your physical dumps.
| |
| * Now that you've got the base game, there's likely some updates available or you want to add some DLC's you have on your Wii U.
| |
| | |
| ====Dumping downloaded games, updates and DLC====
| |
| <code>Make sure that your Wii U is connected to the same network as your computer and make sure to update your game to the latest version.</code>
| |
| | |
| * Insert your SD card into your Wii U.
| |
| * Open the Homebrew Channel.
| |
| * For CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi): Run FTPiiU Everywhere.
| |
| * For Mocha: Run Mocha CFW '''first''' and let the Wii U restart. After that, try launching the Homebrew Channel again, and '''now''' run FTPiiU Everywhere.
| |
| * On your screen, you should be able to see a line "Listening for data connections at xxx.xxx.x.xxx:XXXX". Note down the text at the end with the numbers in it.
| |
| <br/>
| |
| * On your computer, open a new Windows File Explorer window.
| |
| * In the address bar (the bar that tells you what folder you're in), type <code>ftp://xxx.xxx.x.xx:XXXX</code> (change the x's with the number you noted down above).
| |
| * Navigate to <code>storage_mlc/usr/title/*</code> if you installed the updates you're looking for to System Storage/NAND.
| |
| * Navigate to <code>storage_usb/usr/title/*</code> if you installed the updates you're looking for to an external USB device.
| |
| * Then, open one of the following folders, depending on what you want to dump.
| |
| :: The <code>00050000</code> folder stores installed games.
| |
| :: The <code>0005000E</code> folder stores installed updates.
| |
| :: The <code>0005000C</code> folder stores installed DLC.
| |
| | |
| * Open the folder that corresponds to what you wish to dump. Inside, find the folder who's 8 digits match the last 8 of the game's title id.
| |
| :: You can find the game's title ID on http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database#00050000:_eShop_and_disc_titles
| |
| | |
| * Now that you've found the game you want to dump, you can just copy it and paste the files into the place you want to store your game/update/DLC folders.
| |
| :: It's handy to keep these things separated. Make one folder for the base game (the game without any updates), one for updates and another one for DLC's.
| |
| :: This process will take a long while. It's pretty normal, depending on the size of the update.
| |
| :: Be careful and don't change anything on the actual Wii U.
| |
| | |
| * Now, repeat this again until you have the game/update/DLC all dumped. You can now exit FTPiiU with the home button.
| |
| * Rename each dumped game/update/DLC to reflect what it is (like for example <code>MarioKart8_Update</code> etc.).
| |
| * For updates and DLC's, you'll first need to install them in Cemu first. Read the [[Getting_Started#Starting|update instructions]] for more info.
| |
| | |
| ====Transfering save files between Wii U and Cemu====
| |
| <code>Make sure that your Wii U is connected to the same network as your computer.</code>
| |
| | |
| * Insert your SD card into your Wii U.
| |
| * Open the Homebrew Channel.
| |
| * For CBHC (Coldboot Haxchi): Run FTPiiU Everywhere.
| |
| * For Mocha: Run Mocha CFW '''first''' and let the Wii U restart. After that, try launching the Homebrew Channel again, and '''now''' run FTPiiU Everywhere.
| |
| * On your screen, you should be able to see a line "Listening for data connections at xxx.xxx.x.xxx:XXXX". Note down the text at the end with the numbers in it.
| |
| <br/>
| |
| * On your computer, open a new Windows File Explorer window.
| |
| * In the address bar (the bar that tells you what folder you're in), type <code>ftp://xxx.xxx.x.xx:XXXX</code> (change the x's with the number you noted down above).
| |
| :: Navigate to <code>storage_mlc/usr/save/00050000/*</code> if you've stored the game to System Storage/NAND.
| |
| :: Navigate to <code>storage_usb/usr/save/00050000/*</code> if you've stored the game to an external USB device.
| |
| * Inside, locate the folder who's 8 digits match the last 8 of your game's title ID.
| |
| :: Once more, you can find the game's title ID on http://wiiubrew.org/wiki/Title_database.
| |
| * Open out of the multiple 8000000X folders that you'll see the one that belongs to your user account. They're numbered in order of creation.
| |
| | |
| * '''Transfering save files to the Wii U from Cemu''':
| |
| ::* Launch the game in Cemu and open your log.txt file and look for the line where it gives you the game's "Save Path".
| |
| ::* Go to that location in a new File Explorer window and copy all of the contents from the 80000001 folder.
| |
| ::* Go back to the first File Explorer window where you found your Wii U's save files and delete all of the files and folders from the folder you're currently in.
| |
| ::* Then, paste the save files to that folder. You can press the home button to quit and test it out.
| |
| | |
| * '''Transfering save files from your Wii U to Cemu''':
| |
| ::* Launch the game in Cemu and open your log.txt file and look for the line where it gives you the game's "Save Path".
| |
| ::* Go to that location in a new File Explorer window and go into the 80000001 folder and remove all contents there.
| |
| ::* Go back to the first File Explorer window where you found your Wii U's save files and copy all of the files and folders from there.
| |
| ::* Then, paste the save files your second File Explorer window that is located in your Cemu save files.
| |
| ::* You can now test if you had the right user folder and if it works. You can now also quit FTPiiU via the home button.
| |
| | |
| Extra tip:
| |
| :: If you want to play around with other people's their save files, you can visit these two threads:
| |
| ::* Wii U Save Files Compilation: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-save-files-compilation.427761/
| |
| ::* Loadiine Save File Sharing Thread: https://gbatemp.net/threads/loadiine-save-file-sharing-thread.414878/
| |
| :: If you rename US save files to EU save files or the exact opposite, it usually works.
