The plug-in is called "Homebrew on menu". Means it shows your homebrews on your home menu. It does not hide them.

Thank you for this release. I can now unhide my hard drive and prevent me from formatting a drive because I forgot that I hid it with Ustealth (true story...). Everything is working so far except I'm a little confused with the Homebrew on Menu plugin. Am I understanding this right as it hides all of the Homebrew except for Homebrew Launcher? Because when I turn it to true, it hides all of my homebrew on the Wii U menu, but I can't find the Homebrew Launcher either. And opening MiiMaker only opens MiiMaker. Do I need to put something additional on my sdcard or am I missing something? Thanks.

when you set the plugin too off it will allow for only an executable to show up only problem is that there aren't no hbl executables for aroma yet

Will this eventually replace Tiramisu, at least on the EnvironmentLoader front?

There are executables. But technically you don't need the hbl anymore because all apps are coming in the .rpx or .wuhb format. Means they are visible and bootable via home menu. And .elf files are not supported in the aroma environment.

Dumpling, nusspli, savemii ufdiine, for example, are aroma "executables".

I just prefer a launcher instead of aroma forcing me to arange things into folders :/

I get you, but honestly, isn't that fine? You have to take less steps to launch your homebrew.

yea that does sound nice just wish that folders allowed for more then 60 executables

if you are like me then having folders for all your games depending on platform is a nice thing I like to do so that when I go "wait I wanna play wii sports" I can just go to my wii games folder and just easily search for it opposed to no folders and searching through the whole wii u menu
Quick Note: I use forwarders for homebrew I'd use often

After getting my non modded Slim Ps3 last year i found out something particular about people and modded consoles (with a bit of looking at the amount of people whining about the 300 title limit on Wii U) People really REALLY want to show off their modded consoles. Its like a powertrip for some people (also the less stock a console look, the more expensive they wanna sell them even if the console itself has seen better days) So its not really because how convenient or inconvenient launching homebrew is. Its all to show off how "Cool my modded console is compared to your boring stock one, look this one has a Naruto Hentai theme"

yea some people do want to show off their consoles its obvious when you see the 1 millionth my wii menu video. People selling modded consoles is a common thing because not everyone finds it easy and some people want a console for their kids but don't want to spend alot of money on a 60$ AAA game every once in a while

Thats a clear sign of bad parenting right there. No wonder why each generation gets spoiled every year when it comes to Video Games.
You want your kids to properly understand how basic economics works? don't get them a console with hundreds of games readibly avaliable to play from the ground up.

Not necessarily, there may be people who would have grown up in a home where getting 60 € games was just not possible in a timely manner.

And even if it is, it doesn't fall too far from the deep discount culture that Steam institutionalized.

I mean... just talk to your kid about it? Explain, this isn't normal at all, this device is special for you, if you want more games, especially modern games, you'll have to pay for each one and they aren't cheap. Deosn't have to be "A clear sign of bad parenting" at all.

Hello Everybody!

First, i have to thank so much to Maschell for this system, since it permited me to reuse youtube again on my WiiU and TV

But, i am having a problem to launch BOTW with DlCs installed with Aroma, since when i try to run the game, the system shows a message that the DLC content is corrupted, and must be deleted. Any help on this case?

Have you tried to launch the game with Tiramisu ?

Copy the sigpatches module from Tiramisu into the corresponding Aroma folder.

probably a dumb question.
could aroma ever allow the wii u to launch games off an external drive (USB or HDD/SDD) formatted to FAT32, instead of the proprietary file system that wears out drives quicker?

mocha fat32 was a step in that direction but was super slow because of the fat32 drivers that were complete shit
I heard someone mention that ntfs could be a good replacement format honestly I heard about launchiine thats a menu replacement if it replaces the menu then couldn't someone alter launchiine to replace the menu and support mounting a different format? I guess I'll never know : P
