WUDD is a Wii U Disc Dumper inspired by wudump from FIX94.

Features

  • Dump a Wii U Disc in WUD (uncompressed) or WUX (lossless compression) format, including the game.key.
  • Dump GM Partitions (Game, Updates, DLCs) of a Wii U Disc as .app, .h3, .tmd, .tik, .cert files.
  • Supports dumping to SD (FAT32) and USB (NTFS only). When dumping to SD, files are split into 2 GiB parts due to FAT32 limitations.

Installation

Aroma:

  • Extract the wuud_wuhb.zip file to the root of the SD card.
  • Run it from the Wii U menu.

Tiramisu:

  • Extract the wuud_rpx.zip file to the root of the SD card.
  • Run it from the Homebrew Launcher.

User guide

Files will be dumped to /wudump/[DISC-ID]/. The disc ID of a game can be found on the disc (e.g., WUP-P-ARDP for the EUR version of Super Mario 3D World).

If WUDD fails to determine the disc ID, "DISC" with a timestamp will be used instead.

How to Merge Split Files:

  • When you dump a .wux or .wud to the SD card, it gets split into 2 GiB parts (FAT32 limitation). To merge them, use the copy cmd tool.
  • Example: copy /b game.wux.part1 + game.wux.part2 game.wux
