Aroma Environment Black Screen on Startup

[DudderButter]

Good evening,

I wanted to set up and play around with RiiTag on my Wii U. I noticed that the GitHub for the files used Aroma as the plugin loader, and thought I might as well switch from Tiramisu to the next new thing. I copied the base download onto the root of my SD card and booted up the EnvironmentLoader to switch the default from Tiramisu to Aroma. But as I did that, the screen would go black and make me have to hard shutdown because nothing was happening. I'm pretty sure I missed a step in the process, but I followed what others were doing on the Aroma release forum. Is there a way to reverse it back to Tiramisu or fix whatever's wrong with Aroma booting? I can load in the Wii U menu normally without the SD card in, but I would like to have my softmods back and running.

Sure there is a way to go back: Just did what you do to change to Aroma. So boot into the environment loader by holding X and select Tiramisu.

This is a known symptom of using an outdated EnvironmentLoader (e.g. the old one you have from your Tiramisu install). Make sure you've updated to the EnvironmentLoader base payload from aroma.foryour.cafe.

At the time, it wasn't letting me into the EnvironmentLoader, but I got it to work and boot into Aroma successfully by updating EL. Why I didn't think of it earlier, I have no idea. Thank you both regardless!
