What do I do with a WUX file?
A WUX file is a compressed version of a Wii U Disk Image (WUD file), and you can use it to load and play Wii U games on emulators such as Cemu, which supports both WUD and WUX files. To utilize a WUX file, you can decompress it using the Wii U image compression tool or load it directly into Cemu to access the complete video game information.
Introduction to WUX Files
A WUX file is generated using the Wii U image compression tool to reduce the file size of WUD segmented files, which can be around 20 GB in size. This compression process is reversible, and the same WudCompress program can decompress the WUX file back into a WUD file, maintaining the same benefits.
