Aroma Environment
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?
Aroma is a collection of tools for using homebrew on the Wii U.
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.
