Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

[netsurf012]

So is there a plugin for region free? The link on the first page does not work. I posted about this 3 pages back but no one responded. I have downloaded the bundle and it's not in that.

Ah yes, the github repository possibly still set as private so the link is 404.

Aroma should be just as region free as Tiramisu. Nothing got deleted...
Any yea, I also think here's some missunderstanding between region free software support and region free DRC support.

So there is no plugin? I hoped it would be a replacement for spiik.

Aroma is not region-free yet (as in "starting games from another region" won't work).

I updated my DRC Sensorbar and Padcon Mod plugins for the public beta: https://github.com/WiiDatabase/DRC-Sensorbar https://github.com/WiiDatabase/Padcon-Plugin-Mod

On Tiramisu I can launch Wii and Game Cube games, but on Aroma Error, what does it take to launch games with fake keys?

Aroma is not region-free

I'm sure you're wrong here.... Well... Almost: Talking about disc or installed titles?

@AlanLC Copy the sigpatches module from the Tiramisu to the Aroma folder.

That's the question I think only discs? Maschell confirmed it personally to me but I haven't asked if disc or installed.... Does the Wii U even check the region for installed titles? I think so...

 

[V10lator]

@Brawl345 Now I get you... Yea, Tiramisu and Aroma are region-free for installed content only (yes, the Wii U does region checks here) but for disc titles you'll need Spiik, no matter what CFW.

One Thing is sure:

With today,the Wii U is now in "German Hands".

I'll try a Japanese game and report back. Last time I tried one with tiramisu it black screened unless I run spiik first (and yes the game was installed, not from disc).

 

[sion_zaphod]

I tried wipeout 3 on my European WiiU and it crashes at the title screen. If I run Spiik first no crash. There needs to be a definition of the phrase 'region free' (does it play problematic games from other regions that normally require Spiik to get around manually language patching). Another game is problematic is NES Remix Pack (will not work on Eu console without laanguage hack or by running spiik first). Cannot try any Jp games until launchiine decides to work because they are all past the 300 title limit on my console sys menu.

So how do we access hbc since mii maker doesnt boot it like tiramisu does? Do we need to install it to an icon like cbhc?​

There’s no need for mii maker/hbc anymore. All of our HB apps are to be on the menu now

It will be no longer necessary,because,I think,Maschells´ Intention is with the awesome Plug In System of Aroma,to boot / start everything from the Wii U Menu.

By the Way:
There is actual no Homebrew like disc2app or WUP Installer GX working,better said,.elf Homebrew Files will NEVER work with Aroma.

Half truth: Yes, .elf HBs will never be compatible but devs do their best to recreate old apps with compatibility (like NUSspli is a working WUP Installer replacement).

I am pretty sure,the Plug In System will be "overule the elf´s".

Yeah they need to update wup installer. Thats the one thing i use.

why would you have needless homebrew installed? surely you only install the homebrew you actually use

Well in addition to not wanting to get the nag every time I visit my Wii U menu that I'm over the title limit, I also do only install homebrew I actually use, but I'm telling you as much as I love the novelty of the likes of Angry Birds or Nyan Cat on my Wii U, like legit I love that such nonsense is within my Wii U, I don't want them to be populating my home menu in any way, even if I wasn't touching that 300 title limit. That doesn't mean I don't use the homebrew, it just means my home menu has standards in terms of what can show it's face and what has to be buried away (and folders don't cut this kind of burrying) lol.

Frankly, my reasoning shouldn't matter, I'm not here to defend what I have on my home menu or not, I was only trying to understand what the nature of Aroma is in regard to homebrew apps. And it sounds like homebrew doesn't have to populate the home menu in Aroma, which is great, but it also appears that the homebrew launcher wont work regardless in Aroma, and .elf homebrew will never work in Aroma. It's a lot of information to weight. As things stand now, I'm not seeing enough to justify the change from Tiramisu to Aroma. I'm sure that could change as more things get released for the Aroma environment, but thus far I'm not seeing anything on offer in Aroma that I can't achieve in one way or another in Tiramisu, without losing access to my homebrew channel or .elf apps. Of course I know with the environment loader, it's very easy to swap between environments, but for the sake of ease of use, keeping all games and apps accessible, and the lack of anything I need yet exclusive to Aroma, it doesn't even make much sense to be doing that for me at this point. Still I'll keep an eye on all of this, I can see how this all could quickly change in favor of Aroma with the right kind of developments.

Yeah they need to update wup installer.

NUSspli is a working WUP Installer replacement

So what's the issue?

 

[wolf-snake]

So what's the issue?

The issue is people's irrational attachments to stuff online. (Yeah i know there's this thing that exist that would serve me the exact same way as the thing i need... But i just like the way the old thing looks/name) Remember when people refused to use anything other than Loadiine long after Loadiine became super outdated because they got emotionally attached to Loadiine? its the exact same thing.
