Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

[ShadowOne333]

So just to be sure, i remove the sigpatches module i copied from Tiramisu.
And use this plugin instead ??

So it seems.
Removing the module copied from Tiramisu, and instead just using the new WPS file submitted by him.

Exactly. Well, at least in case that's what you want to do. As said before the module from Tiramisu seems to work fine, too, so choice is yours.

Thx for the info, think i'll do that.
Because you made this plugin to be working with aroma.

Everything from the page is fine

So, I tried with another SD Card, and since I had just read this, I went with a bare-bones Aroma setup, just like the screenshot shows (EnvironmentLoader and Base-Aroma).
The SD Card literally only had Aroma in it, not even a single homebrew app, but it still softlocks when exiting ZombiU.

I did format the new SD Card using SD Card Formatter, and noticed that I was using FAT instead of FAT32, but everything was working fine, the other SD Card was on FAT instead of FAT32 as well, but had mods with SDCaffine and those were working fine with Mario Kart 8. Also had a few .rpx homebrew that was showing in the menu and was working well. So not sure if I should try again with FAT32 or FAT is ok.

While the Tiramisu Sigpatcher module works fine on Aroma I decided to write a new one specially designed for Aroma. So this time it's not a module but a plugin: https://github.com/V10lator/SigPlugin/releases

Downloaded, put on SD card, tested and working..

Thx

And where is now the difference between this module and yours?

Aroma is only region free for installed content, and not for disc-based games yet from what I've heard. You will still need to install CFW.

 

[fille]

so for that i need to use cbh?

 

[Something whatever]

So I can get rid of the brainage mod?

The difference is that one of those is a module designed to be used for tiramisu (and just happened to work with Aroma without issues, afaik) and the other is a plugin designed to be used in Aroma's WUPS (Wii U Plugin System).

The plugin version should definitely never cause any issues, since it is made specifically for Aroma's environment.

It's not a very complicated difference to understand. The source codes are even available.

And you should keep in mind that not everyone can read code. The first segment of your answer would have been perfectly sufficient. With the second sentence, however, you unfortunately sound like a snobbish a****le. But thanks anyway.

You're welcome. Also you can just call me an asshole without using asterisks, there's no policy saying you need to self censor insults.
And boy golly do you seem to have a short fuse, take a chill pill buddy.

I have ZombiiU so I'll see if I can confirm this problem, in a bit.

So I can get rid of the brainage mod?

If you want to use Aroma or Tiramisu, you have to uninstall Coldboot Haxchi out of necessity. If you just have regular Haxchi (non-coldboot) installed into Brain Age, it's recommend you delete the DS game and redownload it (if you want to play Brain Age) as trying to mix multiple homebrew environments together doesn't work.

I have ZombiiU so I'll see if I can confirm this problem, in a bit.

Keep in mind that the softlocks were random, it doesn't always crashes, but it mostly does when I exit the game after long gaming sessions (around 2 hours of gameplay).

Not sure if my FAT16 SD Card made a difference here, cause I think Aroma is meant to be ran in a FAT32 filesystem but idk, aside of that ZombiU thing, everything works fine for me, even SDCaffine mods with Aroma on MK8.

Also, I'm playing the game from the disc, not the digital version.

Okay yeah, I can 100% confirm this issue. I played on my digital version for about 20 minutes and I also just got an exit game softlock. There's no problems while the game is running it seems at least. So it looks like it doesn't matter whether it is a physical copy or digital.

My setup to test this was a brand new verified good Sandisk 32GB FAT32 SD, cluster size 32K.
Aroma beta 6 installed clean also, with no plugins aside from base aroma. So at least that's a second confirmation of the problem.

This is not true, aroma region free plugin works with all games

Ah, I see. Thanks.

 

[Ettino]

No. Don't listen to that guy. Aroma lets you play games from wherever on both digital and physical.

 

[Sowden]

This one work in aroma.. its whub.

Thanks for this post. This works great, but the background music is gone. Did they loose the rights to it or something?

 

[Akumara]

This has been talked about but still no solution.
Injecting USA ISO games into a Japanese Console sometimes forces and defaults to Japanese. I've tried all settings in Region Free and it still happens, is there any possible add-on solution being developed or is it even possible?
