Tools

• A Wii U console with an Internet Connection - 5.5.1 or later is recommended, but anything that can run the homebrew channel for Wii U is fine
• A 32GB (or higher) SD Card formatted to FAT32, or an SD card of any size and a 32GB (or higher) USB flash drive formatted to FAT32 or NTFS. Higher sizes are recommended due to every Wii U Dump being 25GB, however Wii U cannot power some external HDDs without a Y-Cable.
• WUDump, to dump the actual game.
• (Optional) WUDCompress to later compress the WUD into a WUX, which is a lot more space saving.

First Time Setup

If you are planning on using homebrew a lot, consider setting up Haxchi - this allows you to run homebrew from a title on your Wii U Menu instead of trying from the browser multiple times. If you already have Haxchi, simply put the WUDump ELF into sd:/wiiu/apps/wudump/ and then run it in HBL.

• Download The Homebrew Channel and place the wiiu folder on your SD Root.
• Download WUDump from above, and place it in SD:/wiiu/apps/wudump/ (you will need to make the folder 'wudump')

Dumping

• On your Wii U menu, choose "Haxchi"
• Open the Wudump app
• Press X
• Insert Disc
