===Download limit===
Nintendo used to deliver games the same way Sony does with the PlayStation Network; with a big encrypted disk image where all the data is useless without an authentication key. Unfortunately, they've changed this for 3DS and Switch, but not for Wii U (yet).
You need a titlekey database, covering base games, updates, and DLCs. Some A notable ones include one is [httphttps://104titlekeys.129ovh/ titlekeys.56.137/ this for Wii U keysovh]. '''Note''' you're still restricted to games that are on the eShop and that people bothered to upload their tickets to that titlekey site, so rare or retail-only games are excluded. You can likely still find these types of games from ROM sites above.
On real Wii U hardware, you could also download a package of all tickets ever of all regions and trick the official eShop into thinking you own the game and can redownload it, but on real hardware, it has been reported some out-of-region tickets cause problems. freeShop will just install the tickets you need for the game you chose.
====NUS Downloaders (PC)====
You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [httphttps://application.wiiuusbhelpergithub.com/Updater.exe FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/dojafoja/FunKii-UI FunKii]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.
Then, it's as simple as selecting the game you want to download, clicking "Get It" and then "Download Games". This will download the files for the game you chose (the same as the .tik's title). Choose your own region where possible, so the servers are closer to you.
An even newer project is [https://beta.nopaystation.com/ NoPayStation], offering both a database of pkg links and licenses, as well as a Windows downloader and auto-converter: [https://nopaystation.com/vita/npsReleases/ NPS Browser]
For PlayStation 3 game updates, go to <code>https://a0.ww.np.dl.playstation.net/tpl/np/{game_id}/{game_id}-ver.xml</code> (replacing both <code>{game_id}</code> with the game's ID) to see links to available update .pkgs for that game.
==Verifying Good Dumps==
