 Add a slash (<code>/</code>) after the URLs to view the contents of compressed archives from the browser, but please keep in mind that this does not work with 7z archives, only Zip and RAR. This helps you avoid downloading upwards of 400 gigabytes just to get only a fraction of the contents. The archive also creates torrents of each entry (that are not the same as any original torrents the user may have uploaded) that you can use to speed up your downloads, but be warned however that these torrents can be problematic if the uploader has added/removed/renamed files in the collection as they tend to not update correctly, if at all, so you may end up with only part of the collection, or an older version of the collection. A better recommendation is to use [[#Download Managers|a download manager listed below]] to grab all the files rather than use the torrents.:<small>'''''NOTE:''' If downloads are restricted (greyed out), copy the file name and append it to the end of the URL (ie: <nowiki>https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack -> → https://archive.org/downloads/NameOfPack/ROMPack.zip</nowiki>)''</small>

You can get Wii U dumps this way. First of all get the NUS Downloader, for example [https://github.com/FailedShack/USBHelperInstaller/releases/latest Wii U USB Helper] or [https://github.com/Xpl0itU/WiiUDownloader/releases/tag/v2.27]. Make sure to use the appropriate URL for the titlekey database.

Updates and DLCs can be downloaded the same way. Right -click on a game's name to choose which to download. For Wii U games for emulation on Cemu:

A lot of the above sites have ISOs for disc-based games, but some of the more obscure titles can be hard to find. If you want to find these games, searching for their ID number is generally more effective than searching for their title. Both Mobygames and GameFAQs will list these under the game's release information. This number is region specific and is very useful if you want to find an ISO from a specific region.
