How do I get a [title] on [thing]

How this page works.

This guide is a little backwards and may be confusing as it starts with the last steps first. Think of it as a choose your own adventure book but you want to get to a specific ending, so you start there and work backwards to find out what you need to do.

So, get yourself something to write some notes down on and write down the heading code so you can refer to it later.

For Example, to get a game onto Cemu you want to do
- 1a
- 2b
- 4t
etc
(these aren't finalised yet)
and then you can work backwards by clicking on the titles on the left sidebar (over there <<--)


1. Working out what you want to end with

1a. A game on an emulator (Like Cemu)

For this you want to end up with "Raw Files" (otherwise known as loadiine1) because Cemu supports "Installing" them. The file format of raw files is

📁 gamename_folder
┣ 📁 code
┃  ┣ app.xml
┃  ┣ cos.xml
┃  ┣ *.rpx
┃  ┗ *.*
┣ 📁content
┃  ┗ this is the game content, folders will vary 
┗ 📁 meta
   ┣ meta.xml
   ┣ *.jpg
   ┣ bootTvTex.tga
   ┣ bootDrcTex.tga
   ┗ iconTex.tga

1b. A game on a WiiU (Like a WiiU)

For this you want to end up with what we call a "WUP" (WiiU Package) because you can install them to your WiiU with WupInstaller. A WUP looks like this

📁 gamename_folder
┣ title.tmd
┣ title.tik
┣ title.cert
┣ *.app
┗ *.h3

1 Loadiine is an outdated method these days, its better to just use a WUP on a WiiU


2. Methods of getting the format you need

2a. Raw Files

You can get Raw Files from a variety of sources, but in most cases they are

2b. WUP

A WUP can be

  • Downloaded from the NUS using a NUSDownloader
  • Generated by a NUSPacker or an Injector
    • NUSPacker
    • UWUVCI
    • Teconmoons (Outdated, use UWUVCI)
  • Extracted from a WUD or WUX

2c. WUD/WUX

The only current known method to getting a WUD file (or in turn a WUX) is either by dumping it from a disc or downloading it. You can not generate a WUD or a WUX from a WUP or Raw Files.
