Edit Infobox WiiU Homebrews: Dumpling Wii U

Free text:

<!--bin: github--> <!--date: github--> Dumpling is an all-in-one Wii U file dumper designed to simplify the process of dumping games and files for popular emulators like Cemu. == Features == * Dumps titles, updates, and DLC from both physical and digital formats. * All dumps are decrypted for easy use with Cemu. * Creates 1:1 copies of data with proper meta data. * Allows dumping to a FAT32 formatted SD or USB storage device. * Allows you to dump system applications too. * Dump all the files needed for Cemu online play. * Can be run without an SD card. == Installation == Preparation: * A Wii U with the Homebrew Launcher installed, * A FAT32 formatted USB storage device or SD card (32GB or higher). Method 1 via Internet Browser: * Open the Internet Browser on the Wii U. * Go to [https://dumplingapp.com/ dumplingapp.com] to launch Dumpling. * In the event of a console freeze lasting beyond 10 seconds, perform a reboot (hold the Power button for 4 seconds). Once rebooted, delete the browser's history (from Internet Browser's Setting &gt; Reset Save Data) and try again, Method 2 via Homebrew Launcher: * Download the [https://github.com/emiyl/dumpling/releases latest release]. * Extract the dumpling.zip file to the root of your SD card. Please refer to the Dumpling guide available at [https://cemu.cfw.guide/dumping-games cemu.cfw.guide]. It provides instructions on how to dump games, updates, saves, and account data for use with Cemu. == Screenshots == https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiiuhomebrews/dumplingwiiu.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiiuhomebrews/dumplingwiiu2.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiiuhomebrews/dumplingwiiu3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiiuhomebrews/dumplingwiiu4.png == Media == '''How to Backup Your Wii U Games and Data with Dumpling''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHfzU-f2O4k GameXData]) <br> <youtube>HHfzU-f2O4k</youtube> '''Cemu Online | Wii U Files Dumping - Setup and Gameplay | Mac''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viuhV3Gfp5k Veemyu]) <br> <youtube>viuhV3Gfp5k</youtube> == Changelog == '''v2.7.2 2024/05/12''' *Updated disclaimer to Aroma users about SD card access. This'll now require rebooting your Wii U manually without Aroma (by holding R while booting) and using [https://dumpingapp.com/ https://dumpingapp.com]. '''v2.7.1 2024/03/28''' * Aroma users will now be asked if they want to enable SD card access. This does now require shutting down Aroma temporarily while Dumpling is running. ** This is to prevent potential SD card corruption caused by Dumpling and Aroma simultaneously accessing the SD card. ** USB sticks are always accessible regardless of the option you pick. * Fix font rendering at the boot-up screen '''v2.7.0 2024/03/27''' * Add an option to dump but also automatically upload your SpotPass data to the [https://spotpassarchive.github.io/ SpotPass Archival Project]. ** This feature was specifically added because the SpotBass servers will be shutdown soon. Please consider contributing your data! ** Thanks to [https://github.com/EpicUsername12 @EpicUsername12] for contributing this feature! '''v2.6.4 2023/04/07''' * Hotfix for .rpx files on discs resulting in an error. '''v2.6.3 2023/04/06''' * Use product code when (some) japanese titles can't be used as folder name. * Fix softlock when starting dumps with no games/updates/DLC present. * Update to new devkitPPC version. '''v2.6.2 2023/01/20''' * Fix bug where you couldn't dump online files for non-ascii usernames. They'll now be stored using alternative folder names. * Decreased Dumpling's binary size by using libschrift instead of freetype2 for font rendering. * Optimized font rendering so that it's now 2x faster. This doesn't really improve dumping speed, although it might feel more responsive overall. * Thanks to [https://github.com/Maschell @Maschell] for telling me about libschrift! '''v2.6.1 2022/11/06''' * Fix bug where if you had 12 Wii U accounts (which is the maximum amount allowed) the last one wouldn't show up. Thanks [https://github.com/jbmagination @jbmagination] for finding and fixing this! '''v2.6.0 2022/10/24''' * Add official Aroma support and .wuhb releases. ** Added a new home menu icon and boot screen, made by [https://github.com/emiyl @emiyl]. ** Exiting while using Aroma should no longer result in a black screen. * Major rework of file transferring code, resulting in a massive speed improvement. ** Games with tons of files now dump up to 12x faster (e.g. Breath of the Wild which takes 25 minutes instead of 4+ hours)! ** All games benefit from a good 2-3x improvement! ** This was possible using a multithreaded writing process (thanks [https://github.com/Xpl0itU @Xpl0itU] and [https://github.com/wchill @wchill]!) and adding Dumpling-specific fat32 caching methods (thanks [https://github.com/Exzap @Exzap] for helping). * Now uses fatfs instead of libfat. ** Adds support for exfat drives. ** Much improved USB drive support so that previously unrecognized USB drives now work. ** Allows for the now multithreaded file dumping. * Fixed jumpy dumping speed and estimated dumping time while dumping. * Show total time after successful dump. * Cleaned up multiple menus into a singular, more explanatory option menu. * Can now optionally delete incomplete files if an error occurred or if you cancel while dumping. * Fix inverted option to only dump the disc files but not the update/DLC. * Thanks to Tomk007 and Jaimie for helping me test all of the experimental optimizations!

'''v2.5.0 2022/08/01''' * Uses new libmocha instead of libiosuhax, improving speed and stability. ** Thanks Maschell and GaryOderNichts! * Give more and improved error messages ** Finally fixes discs producing incomplete dumps without showing any errors! * Improve dumping speeds by 1.5x and more to come! * Allow only dumping disc files without updates/DLC to speed up dumping times by: ** Dump updates/DLC all at once later to have to wait shorter between swapping discs. ** Using DumpsterU, Cemu's online features or an existing MLC dump instead. '''v2.4.3 2022/06/08''' * Fix save files not being picked up. '''v2.4.2 2022/06/01''' * Fix .rpx files only being partially dumped for disc games! More permanent fix in the next proper release. '''v2.4.1 2022/05/18''' * Fix multiple disc dumping. * Add some filesystem fixes found by Maschell. * ... and some more fixes! '''v2.4.0b 2022/03/15''' * Enable dumping (digital) wii games! ** Note that Tiramisu users will be asked to enable it since it involves stopping Tiramisu temporarily. ** Since vWii games are stored in .nfs files, you'll need to use [https://github.com/FIX94/nfs2iso2nfs/releases/tag/v0.5.6 nfs2iso2nfs] to convert them into .iso files for Dolphin, at least for the time being. * Much improved errors for file copying. Maybe discs are easier to dump, so let me know! * Added option to choose whether to ignore file copying errors in the hopes that those files aren't important/overwritten by an update. * A lot of other changes under the hood with regards to how files are accessed so let me know if anything's wrong! ** Disc dumping regressions were found in version 2.4.0a causing it to be revoked, these are fixed in this hotfix release.
