WiiUDownloader v3.0

v3.0 moves the app to GTK4 and libadwaita. Downloads report inside the queue pane instead of a separate progress window, and you can download any title's files individually.

Changelog

• The interface is rebuilt on GTK4 and libadwaita. Every window has a native header bar, settings use an Adwaita preferences window, and the dialogs were redesigned. The layout keeps the features it had before.
• Downloads report into the queue pane instead of a separate progress window: a Status column per title (Queued / Downloading / Done / Failed / Cancelled), and a run bar with the current title, its progress, transfer speed, ETA, queue position, and Pause/Resume and Cancel controls.
• Right-click any title and choose Download Specific Files… (#122). A searchable tree of the game's decrypted files opens, with sizes, folder checkboxes and Select All / None, and it downloads only the files you tick. Downloads keep the same folder layout as a full extraction.
• Every listed title has a right-click menu: Add to Queue / Remove from Queue, Download Specific Files…, Set Title Version…, and Copy Title ID.
• Tools → Select Game Folders takes several folders at once. If one fails, the rest keep going, and a single overview lists the failures at the end.
• The window resizes down to a minimum size without clipping the title list, and the layout adapts at narrow widths. The queue pane stays visible at every size.
• The Linux AppImages are built with sharun for x86_64 and aarch64, so they do not need the GTK4 version your distro ships. They include the .zsync file, so AppImageUpdate and GearLever download only the changed parts of a release.
• Themes follow the system setting through libadwaita.

Download

Which one do I need?

• Windows: use the zip. It needs Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
• macOS: the DMG. It is a universal app, so the same file works on Intel and Apple silicon.
• Linux: the AppImage if you do not use a package manager (chmod +x WiiUDownloader-Linux-x86_64.AppImage && ./WiiUDownloader-Linux-x86_64.AppImage), or the Flatpak bundle: bash flatpak install --user WiiUDownloader-Linux-x86_64.flatpak flatpak run io.github.xpl0itu.wiiudownloader
• If you are not sure which architecture you need, uname -m prints x86_64 or aarch64, which matches the file name.

First launch

• Windows may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info → Run anyway.
• macOS builds are ad-hoc signed, not notarized. Right-click the app and choose Open, or clear the quarantine flag once: bash xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WiiUDownloader.app
• The Linux AppImage needs FUSE for the normal mount. If FUSE is not installed, run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
