Understanding the WUP Format

In the Wii U homebrew scene, WUP files (or "WUP Installable" format) are the standard for installing games directly to a USB hard drive or the console’s internal NAND storage. Unlike ISO or WBFS files from the Wii era, WUP files are decrypted, packed titles that the WUP Installer GX2 or NUSspli applications can read.

A "WUP Link" typically refers to one of two things: skylanders giants wii u wup link

  1. A direct download link to a .app, .cert, .tik, .tmd file set.
  2. A Ticket file that allows you to download the game directly from Nintendo’s (now defunct for eShop) CDN using tools like FunKiiU or USB Helper.

Even with a perfect WUP install, users face specific problems with Skylanders Giants.

    Thanks for this.

    This gives me a “Start virtual camera” button. When I click it I am prompted to enter my password. And that’s it. Nothing changes. I still have a “Start virtual camera” button, no stop button. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

        Be aware that in this post the single and double quotes have been ‘prettified’ so if you copy/paste the lines from here, before you hit enter, edit the command line and delete all quotes then put them back in using your keyboard. If you don’t do this, your virtual camera will be called just ‘OBS
