    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    Yes, you're missing the fact that Aroma has no Homebrew Menu/Launcher, Homebrew apps just show up on the Wii U Menu. You also don't need a GamePad to just open the Wii U Menu.

    Tutorial Project How to set up ISFShax + Stroopwafel

    Just a heads up about the guide proper, the Manual Download section is broken: I assume this was supposed to a nice table, but you get this mess instead

    Hacking Homebrew IOS56-64-v5918.wad file

    Just use the vWii Decaffeinator and in the advanced options, only toggle IOS56. That will delete the file, which will then make sure a system update is available to redownload a clean IOS from Nintendo's servers. If you need a guide for the Decaffeinator, check here...

    Question about Wii & Wii U disk drive interchangeability for gamecube gae-mes

    No, because the Wii U's disc drive is console specific and there's checks to make sure the disc drive is present or not. ISFShax can allow you to bypass those checks to use the console without a disc drive, but that makes the vWii mode unusable (which is where Nintendont runs). So no, no way to...

    Homebrew ROM Hack Installing CTGP-R while ISFSHax installed

    That guide is horribly outdated and shouldn't be used. All you need is to boot the CTGP app from the Homebrew Channel in the vWii, exact same process as on a real Wii.

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    Hence why I said it was included in case the user didn't have it already, it's a good idea to cover all bases if possible. The changes haven't been upstreamed by the way, maybe making a pull request might help?

    Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

    I'm sure you don't need the payload.elf included in the ISFShax files at all, since there's nothing unique about it compared to the one included with Aroma. I installed it just using the Aroma file just fine. It's just included in the ISFShax guide in case you don't have the file already so you...

    Hacking USB Loader GX

    That means an issue with the game file itself, in my experience modifying it via Wiimm's ISO Tools caused that issue no matter what. Only way I was able to get a wbfs file with working masterpieces was to use TinyWiiBackupManager to convert a clean iso to wbfs and then strip the update...

    Tutorial A Comprehensive Look at the Wii U's File Formats and How to Convert Between Them

    You could extract the files using ZArchive, but at best you'd be restoring the decrypted contents of game/update/DLC. That's why it's irreversible, you can't restore a WUD/WUX/Encrypted WUP (what you need for installing to a Wii U) from a WUA. Those decrypted contents you can restore would only...

    Misc Copy game update with Dumpling and convert it to Installer GX2 format

    That won't work since what is being asked is a way to change a decrypted WUP to an encrypted WUP. I wasn't able to find a way to make that possible. In theory you could try NUSPacker with the decrypted contents though, but I don't know how reliable that would be. Then again since the OP is...

    Tutorial A Comprehensive Look at the Wii U's File Formats and How to Convert Between Them

    Introduction In this thread I wanted to provide a single easy to follow resource for explaining and understanding the different file formats for Wii U software and the uses cases they can have, either on original hardware or on the CEMU emulator. This is also the result of a few months of...

    Hacking USB Loader GX stuck on "Reinitializing Devices"

    If you boot the app without the hard drive plugged in does it boot? Can you load a game from the SD card? That will let you know if the cIOS is working or if the hard drive is the problem.

    Hacking USB Loader GX stuck on "Reinitializing Devices"

    1. Are you using the back USB ports? The thicker end of the cable should be on the top port while the thinner end should be on the bottom port 2. Don't use IOS 58 for the loader, let it use the default cIOS option 3. Did you make sure you have d2x-v11-beta3 cIOS? Also is USB Loader GX up to...

    Hacking Hardware Homebrew AX88772B/C/D USB Ethernet Patcher for vWii

    You already could with a compatible adapter. This patcher just opens up your options for getting adapters that can now be compatible but weren't before.

    Any reason to keep encrypted Wii U game files?

    As you saw in the screenshot, encrypted (clean WUP/.app format) is what you need for installing and using on a Wii U proper, so if you want to keep functionality intact, you need to keep them encrypted. While I am familiar with tools to decrypt these files, I don't know of any tools to then...
