I presume the Linux version is the same (I used the Windows version) but WiiUDownloader gives you a lovely graphical interface to download anything from the WiiU eShop servers. Even copies files straight to an SD card ready to install on your WiiU.
That might even be the better tool for the job! Thank you.
I second the downloader. It's one of the best emulation tools out there.
I'm not really familiar with Wii U emulation, but the cdecrypt github page says you can compile it on Linux. It isn't Windows only.
Oh wow, you are right. I've completely missed that part. Time to fire up a docker container.
Been using https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader for almost a year without any problem on my server
I haven't bothered with any sort of NUS downloader in years because converting the content has always been a pain in the ass. In the past couple years there's been multiple WiiU rom collections uploaded to archive.org . Just recently, I set up my WiiU with a 4TB hard drive and used JDownloader to pull the entire North American WiiU library in USB installer format over the course of a couple days. Installing everything was a bit of a chore, but at least I didn't need to deal with any conversion on the PC side.
Maybe on Arch via AUR, although I have no idea because I don't use Arch.
Remember to be careful with AUR. There's already been malicious code introduced via AUR after someone picked up orphaned PDF viewer as maintainer.
That was in 2018...

The AUR has the same risks as adding a ppa to a debian tree install, or downloading an rpm from a website.
If it's not in the official repository of your repo treat with caution
Yep, but it can happen again. There may already be something undiscovered.
The same is true for all package management systems that work the way that the AUR does.
Sure but that's true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.
I know. I just wanted to mention that because AUR doesn't feel like downloading random stuff from internet when you're using it with something like yay.
i know this isnt super helpful but i used a tool on my steam deck that could both download and decrypt wii u games through a gui, i dont remember the name though. it took a while for me to find while i was looking for alternatives while trying to get other tools to work
