Finalizing Setup

Now that PayloadLoader, Environment Loader and Aroma are installed, we are going to finalize the setup.

Blocking Updates

While Aroma's PayloadLoader already has built-in update blocking functionality, it is recommended to delete the update folder to effectively block system updates. If you get a red warning screen while booting into Aroma, the update folder still exists and it is recommended to delete it using this guide.

Additional Homebrew Apps

?> All Homebrew applications are loaded from the Wii U Menu on Aroma.

  • SaveMii Mod WUT Port is a homebrew app that lets you manage your Wii U and vWii save data.
  • Bloopair is an Aroma module that lets you wirelessly connect most popular Bluetooth capable controllers. See this page for more details.
  • The Homebrew Appstore lets you browse and download homebrew apps directly from your Wii U.

Pretendo Network

Pretendo is a replacement service for the Nintendo Network, which brings back online services as they are set to be discontinued. It also revives the Miiverse service, via juxtaposition. The official guide can be found here.

Booting Tiramisu (optional)

?> Tiramisu is now archived, and was succeeded by Aroma and considered outdated. No more Homebrew will be developed for it, and services like Pretendo have ended support for it.

However, if you find the need to boot into Tiramisu, for example, to use a legacy Homebrew app, do the following:

  1. Download the latest files from Tiramisu for your café.
  2. Copy the wiiu folder to the root of your SD Card.
    • The folder should merge with the existing wiiu folder if not done automatically.
  3. Take the SD Card out of your computer and plug it into your Wii U console.
  4. Start the EnvironmentLoader.
    • If you're autobooting into it, this can be done by powering on your console and holding X.
    • You do not need to reinstall the PayloadLoader if you already did so with Aroma.
  5. Highlight the entry called tiramisu using the D-Pad.
  6. Launch Tiramisu by pressing A.
  7. Launch the Wii U Menu by pressing A.
    • To make the console autoboot the Wii U Menu when loading the Tiramisu environment, press Y.
  8. Homebrew Launcher can be loaded by launching the Mii Maker app.
