Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

sieroi · Nov 26, 2022

It's such a shame that this came along as late in the day as it did - it's such phenomenally good work. Deserves all the attention it can get.

Hi everyone!
Is it possible to load game mods with aroma sdcafiine autoboot plugin? I wish to run the translation of Zelda Breath of the Wild in Portuguese BR, if it is possible how do i proceed? It can load besides theme menu plugin together too?
Do i need to install the game via WUP Installer or can be done with the retail disc boot menu?
Thanks!

Hey guys. I just went back to the Wii U scene and wanted to install Aroma. Only had Tiramisu before.
Everything went well, selected Aroma in Environment Loader and Wii U Home as standard title to launch.

But I noticed that none of the plugins I used are being loaded, not even the ones that comes with the package of aroma.
Is that known and is there a fix for it?
I can launch CFW Titles such as Virtual Console Games and Homebrew Launcher from the Home Menu, so Aroma is definitely active, but the plugins just doesn't load.

@Dekirai It sounds like you're still booting Tiramisu. Boot while holding (X) and double-check the settings, please.

Nope, Aroma is selected. I have to mention that I also use Pretendo. When using Tiramisu, pretendo works fine, when using aroma, I get an connection error with my account not existing or something like that
Also tried updating the Wii U to 5.5.5 E since I was stuck on 5.5.3 E but didn't work either, dunno what I'm doing wrong since everything but plugins seems to work fine

Ok I don't know what to do anymore.
I re-downloaded Aroma for like 3 times now, replaced everything on my SD Card, even deleted Tiramisu to make sure that I boot into Aroma, still no plugins are working. I can't even open up the Plugin Menu that supposed to be open with L Down Minus.
I can boot games just fine, which means that sigpatches work but anything else doesn't seem to work. I'm really clueless now. :/

Aroma doesn't support elf homebrew.

I do not have elf homebrews and homebrews are not my issue, my issue is that none of the plugins (.wps files) are working, I do not care about homebrews atm.

Still, you can try to holding (X), go in installer, Uninstall payloadloader, make boot to wiiu Menu then reboot again in Menu, uninstall Exploit, reboot, Launch the wiiuexploit.xyz site, go back in installer and reinstall payloadloader, reinstall switch to load tiramisu and select it by defaut. It has corrected some bugs for me!

Unboxed my Wii U and decided to dive into this. God, it's SO promising, being able to load HB apps from the Wii Menu is such a nice touch, plus the background ftp server.

Retroarch not running is kind of a deal breaker for me, so i'll keep it as an alternative to Tiramisu. I hope someone ports it sooner or later.

For now, i'm having no bugs with it, or any other kind of issue. Where can i look for homebrew ported to Aroma? The HB Store is kind of limited.

Dekirai ... Try out changing again plugin and the dol program......Try renaming 50_hbl_installer.rpx to 50_hbl_installer.old for a try (then renamed it back)....

Hello dear devs, sometime, after a while away from my beloved WiiU I forget, and search again, the combination for opening the plugins menu and I have to search numérous treads. Maybe you can ad this crucial info on first page of blogs, Github, or whatever.
Thanks for you love

Not sure if this been asked already, but anyone else having trouble loading retroarch with aroma? It works fine with Hackchi but I can't get it to load with aroma, even updated retroarch.

You can boot into tiramisu when retroarch is needed

Hi @Maschell and @GaryOderNichts,
thank you for reviving the Wii U Homebrew / Hack Scene and for this huge undertaking!

Do you happen to have patreon or other accounts on pages where we can support your work financially? Because, in the end, you're doing all this for free and in your spare time and I would like to give you something back for it and I guess, that a lot of others would like to do so, too.

Again, thanks for your work and good luck for all your future endevors!

Cheers,

Flink
