Aroma is a work in progress environment for the EnvironmentLoader that automatically runs MochaPayload and loads AutobootModule. Aroma and the EnvironmentLoader enable a coldboot firmware without need of a legitimate game, making it safer than it's predecessors Haxchi and Coldboot Haxchi, it is also a major upgrade from Tiramisu.

Warning!
This homebrew installs content to your Wii U that is persistent after a reboot, and may void your warranty.

Modules

Aroma supports modules, which, unlike setup modules, always run in the background. This allows extending console functionality.

Plugins

Aroma also supports plugins, which, like modules, also run in the background. They are like browser extensions for your Wii U.

Wii U Homebrew Bundle

Wii U homebrew Bundles (.WUHB) are a new way of loading homebrew applications, that can only run in Aroma for now.

Usage

The environment is installed over the Health and Safety app. to load Aroma either open the Health and Safety Infomation app or enable the coldboot. when you launch this channel it will allow you to load up Aroma. when Autobooting is enabled the EnvironmentLoader replaces the /vol/system/config/system.xml to tell Cafe OS that the EnvironmentLoader is the System Menu. This then allows for the EnvironmentLoader to run. In Aroma, you can launch homebrew channels as .rpx or .wuhb right from the System Menu, note that however, if you change to other environments, you won't be able to see them. Also, it is not recommmened to boot the Homebrew Launcher as an app on Aroma as it can be prone to crashes. If you wish to use the launcher, utilize EnvSwap to boot into Tiramisu and go into the Launcher that way.
