NUSspli, the NUS simple package loader / installer.
If you have any issues try to load this from https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/homebrew_launcher/releases/tag/v2.1_fix
Thanks to @alexander1970, @AmandaRose and @yoyoyo69 for figuring this out.
There's some version on the web calling itself Freeshop. I'm not associated with Freeshop or that version in any way and while it seems all they did was exchanging tga files in the zip file I wouldn't recommend using it and you won't get any support from my end when using it.
Note that many of these guys did not work directly on NUSspli but I'm just using their work which they wrote before NUSspli was even an idea in my head. Do not contact any of these guys for support!
I hope the tool is pretty self-explainatory but will slowly add more text to this section.
See https://github.com/V10lator/NUSspli/issues
Q: What is NUSspli lite?
A: It's NUSspli with the download function removed.
Q: Why NUSspli lite?
A: Because it had been requested before WUP Installer GX2 was ported to Aroma, it should contain less bugs and choice is always good.
Q: Why is downloading/installing to NAND dangerous?
A: Because the Wii U can always brick when something goes wrong while writing to NAND. Also more and more Wii Us brick cause of old-age NAND, so it's common sense to not use it.
Q: Are you breaking Nintendos copyright by using that font?
A: No. We're just using normal API calls to get the font at runtime from the Wii Us operating system. NUSspli does not include a copy of that font!
Q: What's that background music?
A: It's the Dreamy Ambient Background Music Loop by Alexander Blu: http://www.orangefreesounds.com/dreamy-ambient-background-music-loop/
Q: Does this contain a link to That Title Key Site which might be illegal in my country?
A: No. In fact it doesn't use that title key site at all since version 1.9.
Q: How is this tool generating keys on its own?
A: It simply implements the informations given at https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-wii-u-titlekey-generation-algorithm-leaked.566318/
Q: Does this contain the Wii U common key, which might be a illegal number?
A: No. That key is stored on your console, so it grabs it at runtime.
Q: The games I downloaded/installed through NUSspli won't run, giving either error code 199-9999 or telling the NNID used to purchase the software had been deleted. Why?
A: In case you're on Tiramisu you didn't follow the official guide ( https://wiiu.hacks.guide ). In case you're on Aroma download sigpatches from https://github.com/V10lator/SigpatchesModuleWiiU/releases and put the 01_sigpatches.rpx file to
on your SD card.
Q: I have an issue!
A: That's not a question! Anyway, make sure to use the latest version of NUSspli. In case that doesn't help go ahead and ask for support.
Q: ETA?
A: WEN.
Q: Is there anything I can do to get better download speeds?
A: In case you haven't already: Get a LAN adapter. With this you get around 27 Mbit/s and way less network errors. More isn't possible with the Wii Us weak hardware.
Q: Will NUSspli stop to work when the eshop shuts down at March 27, 2023 ?
A: According to Nintendo
so we guess that the servers will stay online and NUSspli will continue to work just fine. We can't see into the future through.
