About NUSGet

Allows downloading any content from the Nintendo Update Servers. Free content (content with a Ticket freely available on the servers) can be decrypted or packed directly into an installable archive (WAD/TAD).

What's new in 1.5.3

This release is functionally identical to v1.5.2, but the Windows builds are now signed! I have been granted access to a free signing certificate courtesy of the SignPath Foundation, so this and all future Windows releases will be properly signed just like the macOS builds are. This should hopefully put an end to Defender flagging NUSGet as malware and trying to delete it off your computer.
Note: If you're early to this release, SmartScreen may still flag it as being an unknown app. Once people start to run it and tell SmartScreen that it's okay, it should hopefully learn to trust the app and its certificate, and this won't be an issue anymore going forwards.
Changelog
- Windows builds now signed to make Defender freak out less.

NUSGet version history

1.5.2 Apr 10, 2026

Hi everyone coming from the Wii guide :3
Changelog
- Fixed an issue with searching the title list where your search wouldn't be preserved when switching tabs.
- Set the application version and copyright properties on macOS and Windows, so this version will actually be seen as v1.5.2 by your OS and not v1.0 like previous versions.

1.5.0 Jan 5, 2026

Always more to do...
Hi everyone coming from the Wii guide :D
Changelog
- There is now a folder button next to the download button that opens NUSGet's output folder (including the custom directory, if one is set).
- The way that custom download directories work has been reconfigured, and they are no longer fairly cursed on the inside!
- Script downloads will now respect your custom download directory instead of always using the default NUSGet Downloads directory.
- Mostly not important, but NUSGet is now built on top of Python 3.13 rather than 3.12, as I have tested that everything works as intended.
