Wud2app won't accept common key

[gdspr90]

I've been trying to use wud2app, and I have both .key files that I made in hxd. But it keeps telling me that the common key is the wrong size. Its a 16kb hex .key files, I'm not quite sure what else it could want. So any suggestions would be helpful, or if someone could send me a common.key file that is known to work that would be great.

Edit: I mean't to say 16 bytes not 16 kb

Common key shouldn't be kb. It should be like 16 bytes, forgot how long it is.

You can use wudd to dump the common.key file from your console

For wudd and wudump you need to actually dump a disc for it to give you the common key, but unfortunately I bought this wii u with a broken drive because it is one of the white premium sets that were pretty rare. So I can't use either wudd or wudump to dump the file unless you know a trick to dump just the common key without actually dumping a disc

Common key is the same. Google it. Can't share it.

Kinda surprised that we still get questions about the Common Key, when you can Google it and immediately copy it from the first result.

The problem isn't that I don't have the common key or know what it is, the problem is that wud2app says its too long. no amount of googling would turn up a common.key file, leaving only to make one in a hex editor which I have tried, or dumping one which is something I can't do.

Make sure that there's no spaces, or extra lines. Make extra sure that you have the right key, because oftentimes people mix them up. Sometimes Hex / Text editors will have an option enabled by default to pad the file with an extra line upon saving, make sure that's off.

Also, why may I ask are you trying to use wud2app? If it's to install a game then there are easier alternatives and methods to do so. If it's to decrypt the game's content, there's also easier ways of doing so.
