Hello All!

The WUA Format......
Seems there is a quite new format for WIIU that I didn't notice before (haven't really seen speaking about it in the WIIU forum), more specifically because it's the latest, it's the "WUA" format:
This format seems to be also used by Cemu and maybe the best format to keep your games.
The advantages of this format are numerous:
- Not need to install the wiiu game on the wiiu (takes a lot of time for big games to install)
- the file tales less space with WUA format
- No space taken from the wiiU if the game would have been installed on the wiiu
- Dlc directly inside the file
- You can leave your discs at home and bring your collection to a friend's home and play it directly at your friend's hacked WiiU, the game is not encrypted for you wiiu only
- Take far less space (phycally) on a SD or Usb key than on a HD behind the wiiu, less electricty consumption, less bug toward reading from hd (anyone ever had a black screen during play because of wires?)
And even more advantages....
Now, there is a problem...How can this new format be read on a Wiiu? I don't think it's possible.
Would it be possible for someone to make a program on a WiiU so this format could be used? (maybe a reading capabilty on NUSspli beacause it can already detect sd card or reading update on loadiine so it can read the WUA format)?

iirc wua is just an extracted folder for cemu or loadiine, but zipped and renamed to wua. Therefore, it isn't usable as is.
You could use nuspacker to install it on a real wiiu, or, just unzip and try loadiine.

Just as it was said, it's not usable as it is.....So a solution would be needed in order not to do those operations.
Loadiine doesn't support WUA.
Was the WBFS format taken at the beginning on wii or by default? no.
Was it design for emu? Yes
Is it readable now on wii? Yes
Not WUA

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
