Might as well update since homebrew works on the latest. Then block using DNS.

Since I'm trying to download everything to go offline, storage is a concern. Can I share a HDD with my PC or does it have to be formatted entirely for the Wii U?
Neither.
This is entirely SD only for the time being. It won't affect anything else.
Edit: oops, misunderstood. It's the latter. Wii U takes the entire HDD.

It's not a directly homebrew-related question. But if I can't update my firmware in the future I need a bigger fridge for my eShop downloads.
Easy.
Dump your game using the app listed above to your SD. Navigate to it on your PC. Inside is a zip file called rom.zip - replace it with your own zipped ROM (make sure the filename and extension of the ROM inside is exactly the same). Change the title of the folder and the code to keep it separate if you plan on doing lots (use my post above for a guide).
Done. Load it using loadiine.

So no chance of it being detected by Nintendo / causing a NNID ban? Hmmm...
Considering it is entirely usermode, cannot be used online with backups, and runs ENTIRELY within miimaker....
...it's unlikely.
Does backing up your eshop games with DDD save the license info with them? I'm a stickler for keeping backups of my digital games. So I was wondering if I can use this as an alternative to my current one of using a second hard drive for copies.
DS game injection looks great. Does it matter which DS game from the eshop you use as a base?

Not actually that important
to use the hid app do games need to be installed/launched by a loader or I can use the disc normally?
I'm prepping my setup as I write and I,m kinda excited
I guess the Xbox One controller is out of the question right?

Load the app and then any hid device supported just acts as a gamepad from that point on regardless of media source.
And yep, xbone pad doesn't transfer inputs via USB. Dualshock 4 works a dream though - even on games like rayman legends!
You know what would be nice? The ability to use the Wii U without having to use the Gamepad at all. Not only from a convenient point of view, but in the future when my gamepad dies and they become impossibly hard to find.
I want to just turn on my Wii U, navigate to the game I want to play with my GC controller, and then play it with my GC controller. No gamepad required.

Is it normal that when I load it it just gets me back to the Wii U main menu after a white screen?

Thanks. I think that I'm still doing something wrong as Golden Eye won't load. I'll give some DS games a go instead.

Robin, near the warning you should note that 5.5.1 is the latest update atm.
Anyone below that would do better to update to the latest fw right now since it's safe anyway, it's a bit confusing the way it's written now imo
It doesn't. You just need to eventually start game updates manually.
If that changes in the future all you'll have to do is just change DNS back to "auto-obtain", that's it.
Never been easier softmodding a console and same thing to go back to default state of un-modded.

I was looking to try this out, but when I put in the DNS settings, I can't connect to the eShop because my Wii U is failing to download a new update. I'm on 5.5.1 J already, and I thought that was the latest one. Is it safe to download the latest update, and then switch my DNS back?
EDIT: heh, guess my answer's right above me. But does anybody know why I can't connect to the eShop with those DNS settings if I'm already on the latest firmware?

About the eShop, you refer to the 105-4207 error? Is that the one you're getting?
Maybe Rich can shed some light. Of course you've checked if by changing DNS it lets you hop back in the eShop? Otherwise it just the eShop doing maintenance.
The exploit only grants temporary access, doesn't install anything on the NAND and such. That particular scenario you've painted can't happen.
Robin64
Member
That can't happen. All of this is removed when you turn the U off, nothing is actually installed as such.
Phenomenal Flea
Member
Yep, that's the one! I switched the DNS setting off, logged into the eShop, quit, switched the DNS setting back on again and I'm still getting that error. Though it's not bugging me about a update download error anymore.
Robin64

That's right so far. But you need to install DDD and then dump one of your existing DS titles next.
Using the DNS blocks updates. How it does so is it blocks all inbound and outbound connections to Nintendo's servers.
Including eshop.
If you need any updates or any redownloaded titles, you can avoid the eshop entirely by using the wup downloader
Dash Kappei

Uhmmm, then maybe it's better using a router to block only updates by url but which still grants you access the eShop? I like buying games off the eShop
Are there games where the mp portion is blocked by using the DNS?

It's only temporary to keep your system safe for the upcoming full iosu exploit. You will be able to spoof later firmwares, just like with the 3DS, and then emunand.

Oh, I see! Thanks for clearing that up, Rich! Well, I'll keep the DNS on to be safe. Don't think there's anything I'll be needing between now and further homebrew developments coming down the line.
Have been looking forward to this for a while. Finally I will be able to play ZombiU in English and Deus Ex on my Japanese Wii U!
Upon pressing 'X' to install dumper it takes me right back to the Wii U Menu
Robin64
Member
Yep, that's right. Now the next title you launch will be the one that dumps to your PC, assuming you a) set the IP correctly and b) have the titledumper running on the PC.
Does that work on a Wii U in Wii mode?
Yes it does. You'll need to rip the games using an actual Wii tho, as the Wii U can't read GC discs.
Yes it does. I've been playing GC games on my Wii U using Nintendon't (with the GC adapter and my Wavebirds) for a while now.
Made it really nice when I was in Korea and not having to drag my GC games.
My local PC ip is 192.168.0.8.
Created folder C:WiiU and placed titledumper.exe inside of it.
went to command prompt and navigated to C:wiiu
typed in titledumper.exe c:/wiiu/vol/content and I got this
C:wiiu>titledumper.exe c:/wiiu/vol/content
Title Dumper by Dimok
Usage:
titledumper [WiiU Path] [Local Path]
WiiU Path supported: /vol (for complete dump), /vol/content, /vol/code, /vol/meta, /vol/aoc and /vol/save or any sub-directories of those)
Local Path e.g.: D:/some game/path or ./some game/path
C:wiiu>
edit: I SHOULD have done titledumper.exe /vol/content c:/wiiu/
and its dumping
Thank you so much for this thread. It's working well. Now I need to add some of the emulators and games to the SD card. And buy a bigger SD card. Only 2 GB it's nearly nothing.
I hope someone releases a PS2 emulator soon.
Does Nintendont work with this? I would like to give it a try.

PS2 emulator for Wii U sounds very hard, and mostly impossible if "soon".
Nintendont is a completely separate thing at the moment. Though it doesn't conflict with Wii U OS hacking, so you don't need a separate console or anything.
But a Wii U native version of Nintendont with Gamepad support would be great.
Alright Robin / Rich
Needing help on loading this injected game.
I dumped Brain Age to my PC C:/wiiu/vol/content/0010
Inside is the rom.zip
I replaced the rom with my Phantom Hourglass rom and named it exactly the same as the brain age rom that was inside [WUP-N-DAAE.nds]
Then on my SD card I have /wiiu/games/ZeldaPhantom [ABCD01]/
Inside that folder are all the files from the content/0010
Now what?

I launch Homebrew and loaded Loadiine. Inside i see ZeldaPhantom...I press 'A' on it' then press 'A' again. "Loading game" flashes and then disappears and nothing happens
Do I have to format this nds rom?
