Hacking Wii U - Black Screen Issue (Aroma)

[comically21]

Hello. I have an issue with my Wii U running aroma. I recently updated it in the first time in forever, along with my Pretendo Patches for the new account settings update, mainly because my email was hacked that was put under my Pretendo account.

I put everything required in to update, but when I start the Wii U with the SD card inserted, the screen goes black and loops the startup sound. I have to force shut down the Wii U or unplug it.

I am running a Deluxe Black Wii U, Using a 64 gig MicroSD in an adapter. The adapter isn't dead, but I do share it with my 3DS because the adapter that was in the 3DS died recently.

Another response to bump up traction. Might make a new post.

So I got caught in an infinite boot and it was because the sd card was corrupted. You might try restoring a backup of your sd card/using a new one/reformatting it as fat32. You could also temporarily delete the plugins folder for aroma (wiiu -> environments -> aroma -> plugins) to see if you can isolate the issue to being a plugin. I had a plugin break things (swipswapme) on the most recent update so I had to delete that one to fix it. In my case it was freezing the wii u controller screen.

Hope this helps
