Hacking FunkiiU bug. Alternative program to generate tickets?

[iriez]

FunKiiU crashes when attempting to download Romance of the 3 Kingdoms IV Wall of Fire. See output below for particulars, though it looks like the "IV" is a character that is unaccepted and halts the program.

I would be able to mitigate the issue if there was a way to specify via cmd line to auto-generate the ticket along with specifying output dir. There is a output dir argument but only in conjunction with specifying onlinetickets or the key itself.

AFAIK there is no way to run cmd line to tell it "generate .tik for titleidhere", and yes I've read through the github instructions and command line arguments. If anyone knows how to accomplish this with funkiiu I would appreciate the knowledge.


Are there any other tools that can do this? I recall a certain windows installer made by a south american that was a really nice interface and had a full game manager. Anyone remember the name of that app? I know it generated .tik files for unsigned execution.

Here is the output from FunkiiU -

Its a known issue and easy to fix but we're lazy
Also in the options tab of FunKii-UI there is a tickets only option. Enable it and download like normal to generate only ticket. The cmd line version has a -ticketsonly argument. You can use the FunKiiU master branch on cearp's github in conjunction with Python 2 it will download that title successfully. The other app you are thinking of is WiiU USB Helper.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. At https://github.com/cearp?tab=repositories

I do not see a funkiiu branch?

Here's what happens when I use the -ticketsonly arg.

H:\Wii U games\FunKiiU-2.2 - Used to generate tik>FunKiiU.py -title 000500001013
4700 -outputdir ROM3 -ticketsonly
*******
FunKiiU 2.2 by cearp and the cerea1killer
*******

You also need to provide '-keys' or use '-onlinekeys' or '-onlinetickets'

(which seems to defeat the purpose of -ticketsonly)

What is the proper synatx? And could you point me to the correct branch? I see the master here - https://github.com/llakssz/FunKiiU/branches , but I dont see it on cearp's github?

Thanks!

That latter is cearps github or at least one he is a member of. If there isn't a legit ticket available in the key site then a fake one needs to be generated. You need a key to generate the fake ticket which is why you need to specify -onlinekeys or -keys

I attempted to specify -onlinekeys and it throws a similar error....is it because im using python 3.5.x? Just looked at the appdata dir and says python35 ....

Yes. The current fix for the obscure unicode characters is only working in Python 2. It is still breaking in Python 3. There is a known better fix that works in both versions of python but I have yet to sit down and implement it. Im not sure if anybody else is even still working on the project or had interest in fixing it but basically all the print statements just need to be rewritten to use the existing log function instead to fix the issue.
