Extract text from Wii U homebrew bundles (WUHB)
To convert WUHB homebrew bundles to another format, you need Aroma or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Console Homebrew Package" file type, you need software like Aroma or a similar tool.
A .wuhb file is a Wii U Homebrew Bundle, a specialized application container created by developer Maschell for the Aroma Wii U homebrew environment. It packages a compiled executable (RPX) together with associated assets, metadata, and up to 4GiB of additional file system data into one unified bundle.
These files are designed exclusively to be read and executed on a modified Nintendo Wii U console. Developers typically build or unpack them using command-line utilities like wuhbtool included in the devkitPro toolchain.
For average users, dealing with a .wuhb file on a computer is incredibly restrictive. It is a completely proprietary and closed format. You cannot open it natively on Windows, macOS, or standard web browsers. It requires an actual Wii U console to function as intended, and most popular emulators may struggle to parse the outer bundle layer without manual extraction. It is impossible to convert these directly into generic video or document files.
When trying to access the contents of a .wuhb file, your best option is to extract it into a standard ZIP archive. This allows you to access the underlying RPX executable code, as well as the embedded PNG icons and XML metadata, though the application itself will remain unplayable on a standard PC.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because only the original hardware and specialized custom software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WUHB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WUHB converter.
