Homebrew On Menu is an Aroma plugin that allows you to boot homebrew directly from your Wii U Menu.

Note: This plugin is included with Aroma and generally does not need to be installed separately.

Installation

Copy homebrew_on_menu.wps to sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins.

User guide

You can place homebrew applications with file extensions .rpx or .wuhb in sd:/wiiu/apps or any of its subdirectories.

Configuration

Available options from the plugin config menu (L+D-Pad Down+Minus):

  • Hide all homebrew (except Homebrew Launcher):
    • Hides all homebrew applications, excluding sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher.wuhb and sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.wuhb.
    • Default is false.
  • Prefer .wuhb over .rpx:
    • Hides a .rpx file from the Wii U Menu if a .wuhb file with the same name exists in the same directory.
    • Default is true.
  • Hide all .rpx
    • Hides all .rpx files from the Wii U Menu.
    • Default is false.
  • Hide specific apps:
    • A list of executables to hide can be specified via sd:/wiiu/apps/.ignore, a text file where each line contains a file/pattern to exclude. Case-insensitivity and wildcard "*" support apply.

Example sd:/wiiu/apps/.ignore content:

# 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

To maintain homebrew app order when running the Wii U Menu without the plugin, the plugin redirects the Wii U Menu save data to sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin/[SerialNumberOfTheConsole]/save.

If no save data is found on the SD card, the current save data is copied from the console, but subsequent updates are disabled.

When configured to hide all homebrew except Homebrew Launcher, redirection is disabled.
