This is a environment to be loaded with the EnvironmentLoader.

It's recommended to coldboot into EnvironmentLoader (and Aroma) via the PayloadLoader. Check the repository out for more information.

What is Aroma?

Read this blogpost for more information

Features

Aroma's tools, modules and plugins are modular, meaning that features can easily be added or removed.

A default Aroma instance comes with the following features:

• Compatibility with the latest firmware (5.5.5/5.5.6).
• Free and persistent entrypoint (including an installer + coldboot option)
• Compatible with existing entrypoints (browser exploit)
• Easy setup and update: Just copy the files to the SD card.
• Built-in support for modules
• Built-in integration of the Wii U Plugin System
• All modules and plugins use a seperate memory heap to improve stability
• Plugins and homebrew applications can be used at the same time.

These basic features can be easily extended by plugin. Common plugins are:
- homebrew_on_menu_plugin: Load homebrew directly from the Wii U Menu instead of using a dedicated homebrew launcher.
- ftpiiu_plugin: Run a FTP server in the background.
- wiiload_plugin: Wiiload support: Launch homebrew/plugin via the network at any time.
- drc_region_free_plugin: Pair game pads from different regions
- region_free_plugin: Launch games from different regions.
- screenhot_plugin: Take screenshots anywhere

Download

A bundle with the latest files can be downloaded here.

Usage

1. Extract the files to the root of your sd card
2. Launch the environment via the EnvironmentLoader. You may need to hold `X` while launching the EnvironmentLoader to force open the menu.

Open the Plugin Configuration Menu using L + Down + SELECT (-) on the GamePad or Pro Controller (or B + Down + Minus (-) for WiiMotes).

Seems to be the most commonly question ask when folks switched to Aroma from Tiramisu.

Im having strange problem with aroma. Every newly installed app freezes at "loading" screen with music still playing. Even aroma update. Everything is good with tiramisu.

Hello Everybody!

First, i have to thank so much to Maschell for this system, since it permited me to reuse youtube again on my WiiU and TV

But, i am having a problem to launch BOTW with DlCs installed with Aroma, since when i try to run the game, the system shows a message that the DLC content is corrupted, and must be deleted. Any help on this case?

Have you tried to launch the game with Tiramisu ?

Copy the sigpatches module from Tiramisu into the corresponding Aroma folder.

@Maschell


Hi,

I asked because it happened to me, twice.
I'm currently running Aroma (with the sigpaches module installed) and Tiramisu.

Yesterday, i managed to play BOTW under Aroma and since today, same error (DLC data corrupted...)
I can't launch the game any more with Aroma but it still works with Tiramisu.


PS : problem is with BOTW, MK8 but super smash bros (with the DLC installed) works ...

PS2 : I've just updated to Aroma b10, and it seems fixed !
I think that i've got the bug with Aroma b6 et b9

Just got this up and running - has anyone made a Nintendont forwarder for it yet? I have one for Tiramisu that allows for gamepad play.

Yes, that information is intentionally omitted by OP, people will always ask about this. I personally think a simple solution would be to have a separated thread where anyone can easily find it.

I think it would probably be solved if it was added to the wiiu.hacks.guide guide.

Everything omitted by the OP can be found there, the problem is that currently the guide is only meant for Tiramisu and legacy methods and I think putting something about Aroma in there right now might cause confusion, unless someone writes a full-fledged guide about Aroma it makes more sense to have a thread for this, it opens up the possibility for newcomers to have a clearer explanation of how to use them in both environments.

It has an Aroma guide, I just used it a few hours ago to install Tiramisu and then Aroma right after and it went smoothly. Unless you mean you don't want people to have to install Tiramisu before Aroma.

Well, I can't find anything about Aroma in there, even when I type it in the search bar, could you link it?

At the very end of the Tiramisu guide it has a link for people who might want to try Aroma early in development.

I can't seem to access USB storage (it's not in the selection only the SDcard is present) with Aroma's built in ftpu.

Hey there. So I played around a bit with the Homebrew in Wii U Menu plugin. Sure enough when I turned the Hide all homebrew except Homebrew Launcher, all of my homebrews dissapear, but there's no Homebrew Launcher. And MiiMaker just goes to MiiMaker. Am I to assume that there is a Homebrew Launcher for Aroma in development somewhere?

theres an option to enable a homebrew launcher executable but nobody has made one yet this was an odd decision its like ordering a burger and fries but getting no fries except in this case the order is free so I shouldn't complain : P

Just in case no one's noticed, a new version of Aroma was released. It comes with a new plugin that swaps the TV screen with the gamepad screen. Which turns my Wii U into a bit of a Switch. Aroma is turning my Wii U into a powerful machine, and I love it. Thanks to all the developers.

I'm not sure if I have it, but a few days ago, aroma said an update was available, so I updated on the system itself. I think it let me choose what to update. Plan to play the wiiu later, so I'll see then.

 

[Osakasan]

I think i'm swapping to Aroma by default. I realized that i'm mostly using Tiramisu for Retroarch and WiiSX, but Aroma takes the cake now.

Also, good idea implementing the Swipswap plugin.

@osaka35 For WiiSX (RX?) just make an inject, install it to NAND and add this plugin: https://github.com/V10lator/c2w_patcher/releases/latest - that way it will be better than on Tiramisu (Wii U clockspeed without needing to manually apply c2w patches).

Doesn't that plugin have the issue of always overclocking vWii?
