I found this guide for downloading Wii U games, but it relies on a Windows-only tool. Is there a Linux alternative?

So, this is the guide: https://gist.github.com/Irastris/31766414a981a056d49c1242a019829a

It talks about FunKiiU (which works fine on Linux) and cdecrypt (which is Windows-only).

Are there alternatives to cdecrypt which run on Linux?

    Maybe on Arch via AUR, although I have no idea because I don’t use Arch.

      Remember to be careful with AUR. There’s already been malicious code introduced via AUR after someone picked up orphaned PDF viewer as maintainer.

        That was in 2018…

        https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-found-in-arch-linux-aur-package-repository/

        The AUR has the same risks as adding a ppa to a debian tree install, or downloading an rpm from a website.

        If it’s not in the official repository of your repo treat with caution

          Yep, but it can happen again. There may already be something undiscovered.

            The same is true for all package management systems that work the way that the AUR does.

            Sure but that’s true of any packaging system. The .deb or .rpm you just downloaded off not-a-scammer-honestly.com could just as easily be malware.

              I know. I just wanted to mention that because AUR doesn’t feel like downloading random stuff from internet when you’re using it with something like yay.
