disc2app is a tool that allows us to install our physical Wii U discs as digital titles onto our systems. By the end of this tutorial, you'll be playing your physical games off of a connected external hard drive or the system menu in no time! Fortunately it's a very easy and straight forward process, however theres a few things we need to do before we can play our newly converted digital titles.

- Disclaimer:
- Dumping the disc will not work on redNAND with Mocha CFW, though installing a game will work correctly.
Phase 1: Formatting the USB HDD
If you plan on installing your game onto a USB HDD, then follow these next few steps. We need to format the drive into the specific file system the Wii U wants it to be in. If you plan on installing your game onto the system memory, you can skip ahead to the next phase.
- NOTE: If you have a USB HDD you already use for Wii U games, than it's already in the correct format. You can skip ahead to phase 2.
- NOTE 2: You cannot use the same USB HDD for Wii U and hacked vWii purposes. vWii asks for something like a FAT32 partition, when the Wii U wants to take over the whole HDD with it's own proprietary format. No kind of fancy partitioning will help.Best place to download game saves. It also helps not only to score better, but also to try more strategies and paths of the game.

Step 1) Plug your USB HDD into a usb port while your Wii U is turned off.
- NOTE: The Wii U can use external HDDs that are bigger than 2TBs, but can only utilize 2TBs of the HDD. For example, I'm using a 3TB external HDD - but the Wii U can only use 2TBs of the 3TBs.
- NOTE 2: If you're using an external HDD that does not have it's own power source, then you need a Y-cable. Plug both male ends into either the back or in the front two USB ports.
Step 2) Turn the Wii U on. You will be prompted to format the detected HDD. Do so now.
- NOTE: This will erase all the contents of the HDD, and it will become unusable when plugged into a PC.
Phase 2: Setting up the SD Card & disc2app
Now we're ready to dump our game. Remember, you need to make sure you have at least25gb free on your SD card before you begin the process.
Step 1) Download the latest Modified WUP Installer
- NOTE: If you have taken the time to setup your SD card as instructed by the starter pack setup guide, then you can skip to Step 5
Step 2) Set things up in the SD card like this:
- SD:/wiiu/apps/wupinstaller/wupinstaller.elf
- SD:/wiiu/apps/wupinstaller/icon.png
- SD:/wiiu/apps/wupinstaller/meta.xml
Step 3) Download the latest disc2app
Step 4) Set things up in the SD card like this:
- SD:/wiiu/apps/disc2app/disc2app.elf
Step 5) If you have an 'install' folder in the root of the SD card, than you need to clear any contents it may contain.
Step 6) Put the SD card into the SD Card slot in your Wii U.
Step 7) Remove any disc that currently may be in the Wii U disc drive.
Step 8) Get into the homebrew launcher with your preferred method and run disc2app.

Step 9) Press 'A' to dump to the SD card.
Step 10) After gaining access to the IOSU, It will state: 'Please insert the disc you want to dump now to begin.' Do that.

Upon completing the dump, it will take you back to the system menu. You've successfully dumped your physical Wii U game! Now onto the last phase.
Phase 3: Installing the Dumped Game

Step 3) It'll tell you when it's done with the installation. When it is, press the home button. This will bring you back to the homebrew launcher. From here, get back to the Wii U main menu.

Wii U App To Download Game To Usb From Disk Drive Computer
I know a lot of Wii-U owners have always wanted to be able to use a USB port for a hard drive to backup and load their favorite games or homebrew. For quite a while we have only been able to use the SD card to load homebrew and backups on the Wii-U, which is fine since you can a get big SD cards pretty cheap these days, but now USB loading is possible!!
Thanks to the Brazillian team and everyone in the scene we can now use the USB port for super big HDD or even USB pen drives to store all of our favorite games and homebrews. Below is the FAQ about what works and what doesn’t work and how to do it yourself.
FAQ:
- If you want to install on HDD, you need to format your HDD to WiiU format. Attention it will DELETE everything on that drive. DO NOT USE THE DRIVE YOU USE FOR vWII!
- You can use any USB drive, Hard Drive or Pen Drive. Some Hard Drives will require external power or a Y Cable
- You might want to turn HDD sleep mode OFF before installing game to USB.
- The downloaded games need to be the region of your Wii U. You can install game from another region but it will not launch.
- The games will be playable online!
- You can install as many games as you want on your system as long as you have enough space, but only one at a time, because of the folder limitation.
- Already purchased DLC are working. You can purchase new DLC too.
- You can’t use non legit DLC. Use Loadiine with DLC support for that.
- You can update the game (remove the server filters or use NNUPatcher before launching the game) or use WUP installer to install manually.
- You can transfer games installed to you Hard drive to your internal storage and it will run fine
- You can install games to internal storage without installing to USB
- If you have an existing savegame/DLC/Update for your game on your internal storage, move it to you USB before installing the game to USB or you’ll lose your savegame!
- To install your Loadiine save into the console, use Saviine homebrew. Guide available here, or a youtube video tutorial here.
- NUS downloads DO NOT contain the tik file, you need to extract the ticket from the WUD file.
- You can’t dump the ticket from your console, you can’t dump a game is WUD format. stop asking
- DO NOT ASK HOW TO MAKE OR DUMP A WUD, it’s NOT POSSIBLE. release group are releasing games WHEN THEY DECIDE. That’s all.
- if the game is not on that site, or is present but “nuke”, it means the WUD does not exist for this game. No need to search for tickets.
- You can install ONLY disc based games. eShop version can’t be installed because there’s no WUD version of them.
- You CANNOT use your loadiine ready games with this method
- You cannot brick your WiiU with this method, as long as you try games and updates. DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL ANYTHING ELSE (like system titles) OR YOU WILL BRICK.
- Don’t install games you bought on eShop with this method. (unknown what would happen, just be safe and don’t mess your tickets already installed officially)
How to do:
- Get the game from NUS, do not decrypt. Be sure it’s the same region than your console!
you can use:
– JNUSTool with “-dlEncrypted” command, (Recommended program !!!)
– or NUSGrabber,
– or NewNUSGrabberDO NOT USE :
Uwizard (wrong filename),
or
NUS Grabber GUI (it’s outdated!), - put the game files (.app, .h3, etc.) on your SD card, in SD:/Install/ folder
- get the ticket for your game (extracted from a WUD file). Be sure it’s the same region than your console!
Note: you don’t need ALL the rar files to extract the full 25GB wud. Only the first .rar or .r01 file is enough to extract an incomplete wud and get the ticket. - Edit the ticket (title.tik located in folder sys/02/)
with this tool : https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-wii-u-ticket-modifier.445553/
or manually : here (not an exact method, trial and error!). - be sure your modified ticket is named “title.tik” if not, rename it.
- put the modified title.tik in the SD:/Install/ folder too.
- Put SD card into Wii U
- Plug in your WiiU Hard drive to your Wii U (if you want to install to USB)
- Eject any inserted game disc
- Launch the homebrew launcher
- Launch the modified wup installer (this WUP installer will not let you install system titles, so you can’t brick !)
- Press X button to install to HDD, or press A to install to internal memory.
- let the game install. You will see an incorrect % progress (such as 300% or more depending on the game) don’t worry and let it finish.
- When the install ends you will be rebooted back into the homebrew launcher, exit it and your games will be installed!
- delete ALL the files located on your SD:/install/ folder. You can now install another game.
Not responsible if your Wii U bricks
