Hacking Revive of the dark mode for the Wii U

[V10lator]

do you still need to press the button to apply patches with plugin loader. that was my biggest problem, because you had to do two button presses at every boot if using cbhc.

No need to press anything: https://gbatemp.net/threads/can-someone-do-this.584945/#post-9424212


Howto:

1. Exchange wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebew_launche.elf on your SD card with the wiiupluginautoloader.elf file from the link above (make a backup before).
2. Put the WUPS_dark_mode_plugin.mod file to wiiu/plugins on your SD card.
3. OPTIONAL: Create wiiu/plugins/autoload.txt with the content "WUPS_dark_mode_plugin". See the link above for more details
   
4. Put the SD card back into the Wii U. Boot it and while it shows "Autobooting..." press the home button.
5. Change "Autoboot: System Menu" to "Autoboot: Homebrew Launcher".

we have success. I have it autobooting with no button presses now. I renamed the original homebrew_launcher folder to homebrew_launcher (bk). I don't use the homebrew launcher very often anyway except for savemii mod or saviine. I have forwarders of loadiine, wup installer gx, usb loader gx, and a couple of other things.

one problem I've found is that usb loader gx forwarder no longer works. I think it uses hbl to hbc, so it can't find the hbl to switch over, so I got a black screen.

maybe @KiiWii @Leeful or @Prb know for sure if save mounter will even work. probably not though.
