−==Size Differences==
+== Size Differences ==
After the initial release, there were concerns rising about differences in file sizes between official WADs and NUSD ones. A first, obvious difference is in that official ones have a footer, and NUSD packed ones do not. This adds a few bytes onto the official ones which will not be present.

The only real difference is in some tickets. NUS has a variation on the ticket for a title, as do the WADs that come in discs. While they are different, the only changed values are small (ticket_id and DLC purchases). The big things like Title Key remain intact. There has been no issues using these tickets, which is understandable as many are probably on your Wii right now.

Wiibrew has quite the collection of Title IDs for use with NUSD. For most general titles, check out the [[Title database]]. For IOS ids specifically, check out the [[IOS History]].

New to v1.2 is a local database of title IDs in the database.xml file. To access this, simply click the database button in NUSD, and select a title based on catagory

+== Database ==
The NUSD database is stored in the database.xml file, which should be placed in the same directory as the executable. It is a simple, formatted XML document. A separate page has been dedicated to the database, here you can find the latest copy as well as how to format the file.

Command line arguments have been added to the program. They're not completely CLI, it's more of a GUI override. You can take (mostly) complete control over the GUI with a few command line arguments:

NUSD was written entirely by WB3000, but much of the code would not have been possible without the help of #WiiDev, in particular Crediar, comex, Galaxy, and SquidMan. The advice and source code provided by them made this program possible.
