WiiUSharp 0.9.0

WiiUSharp

.NET libraries for Wii U file formats and title concepts.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by Nintendo. Wii U is a trademark of Nintendo.

The NFS container format was worked out from nfs2iso2nfs by sabykos, piratesephiroth and FIX94, the NUS package layout from NUSPacker by Maschell (timogus) and CDecrypt by crediar, and RPX compression from wiiurpxtool by CBH. WiiUSharp.Nfs, WiiUSharp.Nus and WiiUSharp.Rpx are new implementations of those formats, not ports of their code.

No keys ship with these packages. The common key, title keys and htk.bin are yours to supply.

Packages

WiiUSharp.Nfs, WiiUSharp.Nus and WiiUSharp.Rpx shipped as separate packages up to 0.7.2; from 0.8.0 they live inside WiiUSharp under the same namespaces.

dotnet add package WiiUSharp

Usage

Title metadata

using WiiUSharp;

var game = new Game(
    new TitleId(TitleType.Demo, 0x12345678),
    new GroupId(0x5678),
    new ProductCode(ProductCode.EShop, "FAAE"))
{
    Region = Region.All,
    Names = LocalizedName.ForAllLanguages(new LocalizedName("Super Metroid")),
};

string id = game.TitleId.ToString();            // "0005000212345678"
ImageSlot icon = ImageSlot.Icon;                // iconTex.tga, 128x128, 32 bpp

using WiiUSharp.Wud;

using Stream image = WudImage.Open("game.wux");               // .wud, .wux or game_part1.wud...
WudDisc disc = WudDisc.Read(image, DiscKey.Beside("game.wux")!.Value);
foreach (WudTitle title in disc.Titles)                      // the game, plus any update or DLC on the disc
    title.WritePackage(image, commonKey, $"install/{title.TitleId}");   // title.tmd, title.tik, title.cert, *.app, *.h3

Title images

using WiiUSharp.Imaging;

TitleImage.Convert("icon.png", ImageSlot.Icon, @"title\meta\iconTex.tga");   // resized to 128x128, 32 bpp, uncompressed, no footer

var problems = TitleImage.Problems(new TgaFile("bootTvTex.tga"), ImageSlot.BootTv);   // empty when it fits

Boot sound

using WiiUSharp.Audio;

BootSoundConverter.Convert("boot.mp3", @"title\meta\bootSound.btsnd");   // resampled, stereo, first six seconds

BootSound sound = BootSound.Load(@"title\meta\bootSound.btsnd");          // header + samples of an existing one

NFS container

using WiiUSharp.Nfs;

var key = NfsKey.FromFile(@"title\code\htk.bin");

// read: a seekable stream of the decrypted payload, no temp file
using Stream payload = NfsReader.Open(@"title\content", key).OpenPayload();

// write: pack, encrypt and split in one pass
new NfsWriter(key).Write(payload, new DiscDataSpan(0xF800000, gameLength), @"out\content");

The payload is a Wii disc image with its game partitions decrypted. Converting to or from a normal ISO needs Wii partition crypto, which WiiUSharp.Nfs does not implement — supply an IPartitionCipher and use NfsConverter. See .docs/WiiUSharp.Nfs.md.

Packing a title

using WiiUSharp.Nus;

var packer = new NusPacker(CommonKey.Parse("<wii u common key>"));
NusPackage package = packer.Pack(@"title", @"out", TitleKey.Parse("13371337133713371337133713371337"));
// out\title.tmd, title.tik, title.cert, 00000000.app (FST), 00000001.app ... and a .h3 per hashed content

Title values come from code/app.xml; pass a TitleInfo to override them, your own ContentRule list to change which files share a content, or a real title.cert to replace the generated stub. Output is fake-signed and installs with the usual signature patches. See .docs/WiiUSharp.Nus.md.

Downloading and unpacking a title

using WiiUSharp.Nus;

var commonKey = CommonKey.Parse("<wii u common key>");
var titleKey = EncryptedTitleKey.Parse("<title key as the ticket stores it>");   // what title key lists carry

var downloader = new NusDownloader(new HttpClient());
await downloader.DownloadAsync(TitleId.Parse("00050000101BAF00"), @"package", titleKey, commonKey);
// package\title.tmd, title.tik (built from the key; retail games have none on the server), 00000000.app ... and .h3 files
// With the common key given, content 0 must decrypt to an FST before anything large is fetched.

new NusUnpacker(commonKey).Unpack(@"package", @"title");   // title\code, content, meta — every hash verified

Nothing is needed to download but the title ID; the keys only decrypt. See .docs/WiiUSharp.Nus.md.

Executables

using WiiUSharp.Rpx;

RpxFile rpx = RpxFile.Load(@"title\code\WUP-JAAE.rpx");   // compressed sections are inflated on load
Section rodata = rpx.FindSection(".rodata")!;
rodata.Data = Patched(rodata.Data);                        // any byte change, any length
rpx.Save(@"title\code\WUP-JAAE.rpx", compress: true);     // CRC table rebuilt, layout as wiiurpxtool writes it

See .docs/WiiUSharp.Rpx.md.

Building

dotnet build WiiUSharp.sln
dotnet test WiiUSharp.sln

Requires the .NET 10 SDK (global.json). dotnet pack -c Release produces the NuGet packages.
