Dump raw images from a Wii U game disc.

Installation

Copy the wiiu folder to the root of the SD card.

User guide

How to use

Run the .elf from the Homebrew Launcher with a FAT32 SD card/USB device or an NTFS USB device inserted, having at least 23.3GB of free space. For FAT32 devices, files will be dumped in 2GB parts, requiring manual merging. On NTFS devices, the dump is a single file.

A full dump takes approximately one and a half hours. After dumping, the wud, common.key, and game.key will be in a "wudump" folder on your SD card/USB device.

Merging WUD parts on FAT32 devices

This part is not needed if the file was dumped to an NTFS device.

To get the full game.wud on FAT32, merge the parts. On Windows, you can use the following command in the sd/usb folder's cmd:

copy /b game_part1.wud + game_part2.wud + ... + game_part12.wud C:\wudump\game.wud

wud2app

If you would like to install the game with wupinstaller, use wud2app. You can either run it with the wudump folder path as an argument:

wud2app "P:\wudump\WUP-P-TEST"

Or, if .wud files are merged, put wud2app in the merged .wud folder and run:

wud2app common.key game.key game.wud

Ensure common.key and game.key are in the same folder. The created folder can be installed by WUP Installer.
