NUS Downloader, or NUSD, is a PC Utility designed to allow easy access to the resources present on Nintendo's Update Servers. Using this tool, you can download and pack many system titles into WADs ready to install.
WARNING!
This tool creates WAD files. If it should happen to have issues during this procedure, installing corrupt WAD files could BRICK your Wii. Don't use this program if you are not sure of what it accomplishes. NO WARRANTY!
Usage
This program requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. Source is included if you desire to port it away from this prerequisite.
Load the program, and enter a title ID and optionally a specific version number. Title IDs can be found in the Title database.
Check whether you wish to Pack the title into a WAD, and whether the title is for the Wii or DSi. Note that DSi titles cannot be packed into WADs.
Run the download, and you should be presented with the downloaded files and optionally a packed WAD in a folder named after the title ID you chose. All folders/files are saved in the directory that the main program is in.
System WADs can be installed using any normal installer.
Credits
NUSD was written entirely by WB3000, but much of the code would not have been possible without the help of #WiiBrew, in particular Crediar, Galaxy, and SquidMan. The advice and source code provided by them made this program possible.
Bugs & Suggestions
This is still in its early stages, so bugs may be present. Be sure to report any so I can work to fix them.
