Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

[hadi aulia]

I have another wii u that i want to switch from tiramisu to aroma.
is it safe to just copy all the files from my wii u that already have aroma ?

 

[SDIO]

Yes, I do that all the time.
EDIT: just to make sure, we are talking about the files on the SD?

The NAND Backups are still console specific

maybe its a bug, everytime i enabled burn in reduction & auto power down option, go back to main menu and check the settings again it always set back to disabled

I switch back to tiramisu & doesnt have the same problem

The biggest issue for me with Aroma, it's we can't forward vwii homebrew in¨real¨ vwii mode, and therefore have usb support.

The miss of retroarch on Aroma can be filled by WiiFlow for most parts, and some parts are even better but that will be on SD card only.

Of course to get vWii support we can use Boot2wii with .wuhb package, but it's related to wiiu and so no usb, hbl2hbc isn't compatible with aroma etc...
We can use vwii with sd and Aroma but I lost already a 256go sd card, and red here end there, that it's not a good device for many access.

So I guess maybe I don't know how to do to have vwii usb support and Aroma, and if there is a solution I'll be happy to learn it, and if that post can make aroma better, that makes me happy .

Is there any way you could remove the “not all software could be displayed as there are no empty slots” nag? It’s a more niche thing but given that there’s that method to bypass the 300 title limit with editing the title IDs on the barista file, you can easily have more than 300 titles spread out across multiple users. But then that message will always pop up whenever you turn the system on. It’s not a dealbreaker of course but yeah, if it were possible to get around it then that’d make this method even better. It seems like it should be possible since you got rid of the nags for plugging in a USB while the system is on and for force shutting down the system, as well as that plugin for getting rid of the WiiVC display/control options message, but of course I don’t know how this stuff works so it may not be doable.

Uninstall games. There is no way to bypass the 300 title limit.

How do you reach 300 installed titles on Wii U? As much as i love the console, it doesn't have so many play worthy games.

Well, if you install VC titles as well, I can see how 300 tile limit can be reached quickly. Still, with the dual HDD setup it should be pretty easy to have Wii U games on one HDD, Wii and GC games on the other. As for the other systems, they probably go onto the SD card I guess.

Does I can count the wole titles over 300 ?

Non.

Incorrect. There are two known ways to do it, both involving multiple users and potentially a third if Launchiine ever gets finished. I literally mentioned this, maybe read my post lmao

Wii U can play games from every Nintendo system except the 3DS and of course Switch. That's probably around 10,000 games playable right there. 300 is a pretty small selection when you think about it like that.

I think so
