help with aroma and wup installer gx 2

[jamissr]

hello friends.

ive followed the wii u hacks guide to remove previous mods, mocha, etc and replace with aroma. i completed the steps to make everything autoboot, but i have 2 issues.

1. nothing i press when i start the health and safety does anything. it just loads health and safety. pressing x, +, -, some combination of buttons. nothing, i cannot seem to get anything except health and safety to load. i am able to get evironment loader to come up when pressing x during a reboot.

2. i cannot use the WUP installer gx 2 to work. anything i try to install gives an error that i need to have sigpatches installed. googling that gives some random shit on using outdated methods to install sigpatches, using tiramasu, forked version of programs, or using HBL somehow, which i cant get to since i cant load anything but health and safety.

id love any advice on fixing these two issues.

thanks, and thanks for this great community.

1: sounds like you're autobooting into aroma. Do any homebrew apps show on the home menu? If so, then of course H&S won't do anything differently.

2: tiramisu sigpatches are the same thing as aroma sigpatches, an environmentloader module.

Thank you. i do believe i am booting into the aroma environment. homebrew apps do show up and work. if nothing is supposed to happen when i boot HnS ok, but how do i get to hbl then? tbh im fine with that not working, the real issue then is.

if aroma sigpatches are installed in aroma, why does WUP gx loader say it wont install CFW/games due to missing sigpatches? what do i need to do to get past this message that sigpatches are missing when using wup installer to install games?

Aroma doesn't have hbl, all apps are loaded from the home menu.

you might want to check you placed the file in the correct path (I believe it's /wiiu/environments/aroma/modules) as you need sigpatches to install.

thanks again, this put me on the right path. for anyone else looking and finding this later, i guess i did not understand that sigpatches were just a file put on the SD card (been a long time since i messed with wii u, kid wanted me to revive ours).

after installing aroma, i think either missed the part on the wii hacks guide or thought they were installed from the previous mods that were done, but you can just download the sigmatches module, github.c o m /marco-calautti/SigpatchesModuleWiiU/releases/tag/1.2, and put it in SD://wiiu/environments/aroma/modules/setup
