Environment Loader allows you load environments on your Wii U.

User guide

This is a payload that should be run with CustomRPXLoader.

Place payload.rpx in the "sd:/wiiu/" folder of your sd card and use the CustomRPXLoader to run this setup payload, hold X on the Gamepad while loading to force open the menu.

This payload checks for enviroments in the following directory: "sd:/wiiu/environments/".

Example file structure for having a "tiramisu" and a "installer" environment on the sd card:

sd:\wiiu\environments\tiramisu\modules\setup\00_mocha.rpx  
sd:\wiiu\environments\tiramisu\modules\setup\01_other_cool_payload.rpx  
sd:\wiiu\environments\installer\modules\setup\00_mocha.rpx  
sd:\wiiu\environments\installer\modules\setup\01_installer_launcher.rpx

When you start the EnvironmentLoader a selection menu appears. Use Y on the Gamepad to set a default enviroment. To open the selection menu when a default enviroment is set, hold X on the Gamepad while launching the EnvironmentLoader.

When launching an given enviroment, all .rpx files in "[ENVIRONMENT]/modules/setup" will be run.

Make sure not to call exit in the setup payloads.
The files will be run in the order of their ordered filenames.
