Aroma/README.md

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.
