Homebrew [RELEASE] Aroma Environment for Wii U

[ShadowOne333]

Seems like SaveMii and UFDiine got WUHB ports these last days
It's nice to see more and more apps make the transition!
Now just WiiU Shell and RetroArch remain

Oh wow, I didn't realize WiiU Shell already had a WUHB port, thanks for the heads up!
Then it's just RetroArch pending now in terms of the big apps

just copied the sigpatches to Aroma folder.

I thought aroma doesn't need the sigpatches.rpx?

It does.
You can reuse the ones from Tiramisu if you had them, simply put them in the right folder for Aroma and that should do it

Let's not forget about The Appstore guys. The program just flat out crashes the second you hit the "-" button. And if anyone is listening, maybe get a WUHB out for Controllertest? It gets stuck in the same exiting loop like the others did.

It doesn't for running homebrews (rpx or wuhb) but it does for VC injects.

Let's not forget about The Appstore guys.

Nighlies are Aroma ready. Either grab the one @ADHD1977 attached or download from https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore/actions (you need a github account to be able to download the nightlies from github through).

//EDIT: @BaamAlex IIRC the technical explaination was that rpx/wuhb files are running through FailST which completely bypasses signature checks. VC Injects on the other hand are like properitary content to the Wii U, no FailST involved, so they get signature checked.

There is some compatible works for cafe2wii ? And does wiiflow can handle it ?

For some reason ZombiU still crashes to me from time to time when exiting, but it's mostly when I have a long gaming session (say, 1.5-2hrs)

Aside of that, Aroma works perfectly fine for me, the only thing I would like to see on Aroma would be HIDtoVPAD working, and I'm done. Here is hoping for it's release

Sure, I will leave the last log from my console, which I think is the one that crashed when I exited ZombiU.

The crash log is unrelated to ZombiU, do you have any other logs?

I have, but they were a lot older, right now I deleted my logs folder content so a fresh one will be generated when it happens. Although the few times that it crashed when exiting the game (Wii U Menu loading loop) the console did not create a new log. I will send you the new logs once I get the thing to crash again, it's a bit difficult because it doesn't always happens it seems to be random.
When it happends again, I will let the console to stay in that state for a extended period of time, just to be sure that it actually creates the log.

EDIT: My Wii U crashed again after exiting ZombiU, I left it in the Wii U Menu loop for around an hour, but no crash log was generated.

So this a is softlock, not a crash and (probably) unrelated to the previous issues ZombiU had.

Would be nice if you try again with a fresh copy of aroma on a fresh sd card and only the files from https://aroma.foryour.cafe/. No other "third party" plugin or modules.

If then the softlock still happens I'll look into this, but it might be very hard to debug and resolve =/

While the Tiramisu Sigpatcher module works fine on Aroma I decided to write a new one specially designed for Aroma. So this time it's not a module but a plugin: https://github.com/V10lator/SigPlugin/releases

Ah, didn't know that, I thought that when a device stopped responding it was always a crash, especially because my Wii U was in the same state when it was bricked due to Mii Maker being corrupted (Wii U Menu loading with music loop) and it was generating some logs, even was responsive to the power off button, but now with ZombiU it doesn't, that is why I was confused about the thing not making new logs.

All right then, I will try using a new SD Card with a newly downloaded latest version of Aroma in it's default package, with no extra stuff (Not even sigpatches module).

EDIT: Just to be sure, I'm going bare bones now, are this package settings okay for trying again?

EDIT2: Well, just to be EXTRA sure, you said "only the files from https://aroma.foryour.cafe/. No other "third party" plugin or modules." It means that using the modules and plugins from there are fine? Or is it better that I try going with the most basic Aroma package?

Should we remove the module sigpatches file from Aroma and only keep the new WPS plugin?

In case you want to use the new plugin: Yes.

Thank you! It works without problems.

Everything from the page is fine

And use this plugin instead ??
