Loadiine is a SD Card WiiU RPX/RPL loader.

Note: No longer active, please use Loadiine GX2 instead.

Features

  • Loads game backup from the SD card (code/content/meta).
  • Boots game via Super Smash Bros. or MiiMaker mode (with varied game compatibility).
  • Supports SD cards with a maximum capacity of 256GB.
  • No support for online play.
  • Designed to be region-free, though some games may require adjustments to files or folder names for seamless loading in different regions (e.g., US to EU).

User guide

How to use

Loadiine does not require an installation on SD card. You need to use a browser exploit to load itself in memory and launch game.

A detailed guide is available on the release thread.

Folder structure

The games are located on FAT32 SD card, in extracted file system format (not in .wud or .wux file format).

sd:\wiiu\games<GAME TITLE HERE>\

Copy the code, content and meta folders from your game dump inside this folder. Example:

sd:\wiiu\games\Yoshi's Woolly World [AYCP01]\code\  
sd:\wiiu\games\Yoshi's Woolly World [AYCP01]\content\  
sd:\wiiu\games\Yoshi's Woolly World [AYCP01]\meta\  

The savegames will be created automatically by Loadiine in sd:\wiiu\saves\ folder.

sd:\wiiu\saves\Yoshi's Woolly World [AYCP01]\u\  
sd:\wiiu\saves\Yoshi's Woolly World [AYCP01]\c\  
  • u = Current account save data
  • c = Common save data

Use Saviine to extract savegame from the console to use with Loadiine.
