# Homebrew on menu

1. Copy the file `homebrew_on_menu.wps` into `sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/plugins`.
|
|
2. Requires the [WiiUPluginLoaderBackend](https://github.com/wiiu-env/WiiUPluginLoaderBackend) in `sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/modules`.
|
|
3. Requires the [RPXLoadingModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/RPXLoadingModule) in `sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/modules`.
|
|
4. Requires the [WUHBUtilsModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/WUHBUtilsModule) in `sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/modules`.
|
|
5. Requires the [ContentRedirectionModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/ContentRedirectionModule) in `sd:/wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/modules`.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
Place your homebrew (`.rpx` or `.wuhb`) in `sd:/wiiu/apps` or any subdirectory inside `sd:/wiiu/apps`.
|
|
|
|
Via the plugin config menu (press L, DPAD Down and Minus on the gamepad) you can configure the plugin. The available options are the following:
|
|
- **Features**:
|
|
- Hide all homebrew [except Homebrew Launcher]: (Default is false)
|
|
- Hides all homebrew from the Wii U Menu except the `sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher.wuhb` and `sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.wuhb`
|
|
- This config item is called "Hide all homebrew" when no `homebrew_launcher.wuhb` is present.
|
|
- Prefer .wuhb over .rpx (Default is true)
|
|
- Hides a `.rpx` from the Wii U Menu if a `.wuhb` with the same name exists in the same directory.
|
|
- Hide all .rpx (Default is false)
|
|
- Hides all `.rpx` from the Wii U Menu.
|
|
|
|
## Hide specific apps
|
|
|
|
A list of executables to hide can be provided via `sd:/wiiu/apps/.ignore`. This file is a text file, each line contains a file/pattern to exclude.
|
|
Every line is considered case-insensitive and relative to `sd:/wiiu/apps/`. Lines starting with "#" will be ignored and can be used for comments. `*` is supported as a wildcard.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
# Ignore any .rpx in the my_game sub directory
|
|
my_game/*.rpx
|
|
# Ignore any executable in the other_game sub directory
|
|
other_game/*
|
|
# Ignore any executable that starts with "retroarch"
|
|
retroarch*
|
|
*/retroarch*
|
|
# Ignore sd:/wiiu/apps/CoolGame.wuhb
|
|
CoolGame.wuhb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Save data redirection
|
|
In order to preserve the order of homebrew apps even when you run the Wii U Menu without this plugin, this plugin will redirect the Wii U Menu save data to
|
|
`sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin/[SerialNumberOfTheConsole]/save`. When no save data is found on the sd card, the current save data is copied from the console,
|
|
but after that it's never updated.
|
|
|
|
**If the plugin is configured to hide any homebrew except a Homebrew Launcher, the redirection is disabled.**
|

|
## Buildflags
|
|
|
|
### Logging
|
|
Building via `make` only logs errors (via OSReport). To enable logging via the [LoggingModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/LoggingModule) set `DEBUG` to `1` or `VERBOSE`.
|
|
|
|
`make` Logs errors only (via OSReport).
|
|
`make DEBUG=1` Enables information and error logging via [LoggingModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/LoggingModule).
|
|
`make DEBUG=VERBOSE` Enables verbose information and error logging via [LoggingModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/LoggingModule).
|
|
|
|
If the [LoggingModule](https://github.com/wiiu-env/LoggingModule) is not present, it'll fallback to UDP (Port 4405) and [CafeOS](https://github.com/wiiu-env/USBSerialLoggingModule) logging.
|
|
|
|
## Building using the Dockerfile
|
|
|
|
It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Build docker image (only needed once)
|
|
docker build . -t homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder
|
|
|
|
# make
|
|
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder make
|
|
|
|
# make clean
|
|
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project homebrew_on_menu_plugin-builder make clean
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Format the code via docker
|
|
|
|
`docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/src ghcr.io/wiiu-env/clang-format:13.0.0-2 -r ./src -i` |
