Hacking [OLD] Loadiine backup loader for WiiU 5.3.2 ONLY (NO 5.4 NO 5.5!)

[KingBlank]

are you using the version 0 (extracted or dumped from your disc), or did you apply updates? probably v0 or else you can't use miimaker.

Do you have the XML files?
if you don't have the cos.xml and app.xml in the /code/ folder, loadiine uses a default value, but the default might not be good (it's not) for Mario kart 8.

if you don't have the xml, apply an update to get them and use SSB to launch the game.
if it's still happening, verify your dump is complete, or maybe your SD card is corrupted.

It looks like I do have the XML files, By version 0 do you mean a dump with no updates applied? I don't think it has any updates but I'm not sure, how can I find out?

 

[Cyan]

Yes, v0 (sometime v1) are games without updates. same dump than the content from the disc.

you said it launched on Miimaker and SSBU, so I can tell you have v0
updated version of mario kart8 have an issues with miimaker and don't launch at all.

so, you have the xml files.
maybe there's a bug in the loader (you could post the DSI picture? it helps find bugs), maybe you have an issue with your files (corrupted files or SD)
I see you are from New Zealand, which game region are you using? does it match your console's region ?

thx man, i did that, so what i got is a bunch of *.app and *.h3 as well as title.cert/.tik/.tmd. I guess i have to extract/decrypt this somehow?
Yes, thats an easy task: CDecrypt title.tmd title.tik ckey.bin

thx guys worked

I know this has been confirmed before, but I'm literally playing it right this second^^ (loadiine v4(EclipseSin server), MiiMaker, PAL wii u, PAL v0 MK8, class10 32Gb Sandisk microSD)

Edit : randomly pressed + on the main menu to see what those stamps were, game tried to load miiverse, and ISI crash xD)

 

[KingBlank]

Here is a picture of the error, in the meantime I'll try copy a freshly extracted mario kart 8 onto my sd.

Edit: Just thought I would add that I have no meta folder because I could not find it in the extracted mario kart 8, I also did not have the system folder before, but I'm including it this time.

Here are all existing XML from latest EUR Updates.

It's only text and XML's got shared before, feel free to remove it if necessary.

So, how can this be used?

Unrelated - I still get the error with a freshly extracted MK 8. (PAL console PAL game V1.0, mii maker or smash digital)

The XML is needed for proper compatibility in Loadiine 4.0.

1. Make sure you use the latest Loadiine 4.0
2. Always include the .xml files for the game inside code folder
3. Sometimes files gets corrupted transfering to your SD Card, make sure they are fine (.md5/.sfv crc check after transfer).
4. If your SD is faulty, try to backup your stuff like savegames, format and if the SD is still faulty, use a new one.
5. Its rare, somtimes fragmentation is a problem, re-format or use gw3ds.exe to fix it.
6. If your dump from the game is faulty, dump it again or use another source.

Just looked at the updated Loadiine compatibility list and see that literally every game that matters is now working (except for Splatoon, which I can't imagine is very fun outside of multiplayer anyway). Just wanna say great fucking job to everybody involved in making this possible!

This whole thing was just a pipe dream less than what... two months ago? And then when it was announced only little games like NES remix worked. Then suddenly Smash compatibility! Then Mii Maker comparability. And now we're all the way to this point!

I said a few days ago that once Bayonetta 1/2, Mario Maker, and Mario Kart work then we've all succeeded. So good job on succeeding! Next we just need online play (which I've been informed may be possible fairly soon).

Hi. So since loadiine is updated and we don't have to download anything, that means we are automatically using the latest version of loadiine?
Last time I used loadiine was 1.0a. So all I have to do is change the folder structure?

Thanks and kudos to the people that have made this a possibilty!

Yup, just change the folder structure.

Hi @dimok and @golden45
Loadiine 4.0 is amazing. You two clearly make a great duo. Many people thought what you achieved wouldn't be possible.

IIRC @golden45, the original loadiine you were working on was booting using Mii Maker with terrible results, solely over a network. Now its got great results with SD. Is there any way or plans to bring back the loading over network feature? I would love this more than USB support personally.

Thanks again for both of your dedication to this project and all the best moving forward.

Have been testing v4 out and it's worked fine all through miimaker so far thanks for everyone's work.I was wondering if at some point we would be able to view the game list on the tv screen as well?

 

[Antonio Ricardo]

Online play through/with Loadline is possible without IOSU @Cyan?

Region Free you say? Does this mean we can use PAL discs on an NA console, or is this just limited to wii iso files?

Thanks for this, this is an incredibly useful post. If anyone has the USA versions please post!

I wonder if their is any difference in them from EUR to USA. I bet most would likely be the same values

Not discs, just game dumps from sd card (they're actually extracted files rather than a disc image, but same difference)

 

[AlBa]

For Tekken 2 you mean?
Excellent with Class 10 card

I meant generally speaking. Are loading times faster/same/slower than with disc ?
