I wanted to have the perfect release, but this would take a lot of time. A lot of time to explain all the cool features in detail, a lot of time to talk about the design choices I’ve made, a lot of time to document everything and a lot of time to make it the best possible experience for users and homebrew developers.

But while working on this perfection, nobody else can enjoy the already existing features of Aroma, which is really sad. It happens again and again that a user or developer asks for feature X and in many cases the answer is “It would be possible, but only with Aroma”. Long story short, there will be a public beta of Aroma. But before I get into details, let’s discuss what Aroma exactly is. The good news is: The migration to Aroma will be really simple, especially if you’re already coldbooting into the EnvironmentLoader (e.g. Aroma is just another Environment that will be installed by copy pasting a new directory on to the SD card. The installation of the EnvironmentLoader is exactly the same as for Tiramisu. Given these similarities between Aroma and Tiramisu, they share the basic feature set. Tiramisu provides a very basic environment which only includes Mocha, the autoboot module, and a module for injecting the Homebrew Launcher into the Mii Maker.īoth are built on top of the same Mocha version, updates are blocked, Bloopair is supported, and the AutobootModule including the quick start menu are working too. However, within eight hours of the update's release, community members found two bugs in the update that in conjunction can allow a slightly modified Twilight hack to operate and has released a new version of the hack that will work on machines that have updated to 3.3.Aroma on the other hand ships with its own module loader, which is more powerful than what the “setup modules” in the EnvironmentLoader offers.Īroma Modules can best be compared to. On June 16, 2008, Nintendo released Wii Menu update 3.3 which automatically deletes and prevents the further storage of the unauthorized save files. Certain programs have been made to install custom Wii Menu channels, so that the applications can be run from the Wii Menu instead of the Twilight hack. Since the hack loads an application through a glitch in Twilight Princess, the game must be loaded each time the user wishes to run a homebrew application. Numerous applications have been written that can be run using this method. Any program that is placed on the root of the SD card with the filename "boot.elf" will run. With this crash, the system is made to run a loader program (which was loaded by the game as part of the name) instead of Twilight Princess's code which then proceeds to load a program from the Wii's front SD card slot. This save file presents a name much longer than expected to the Twilight Princess game, which causes the Wii system to crash when it tries to load the horse's name. The save file stores the name of Link's horse in the game, Epona. The hack exploits a buffer overflow error, caused by loading a specially crafted save file for Twilight Princess. This is the first way found to boot homebrew software without the use of hardware modifications to the Wii console.

The Twilight Hack is the name given to the exploit found by Team Twiizers of in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that permits homebrew developers and everyday users to run unofficial homebrew software from a SD card inserted into the slot on the front of the Wii.
