How to use the SDCafiine Aroma plugin to use other language files on a Japanese Wii U

[admin]

This method is better than replacing the files on the NAND as bricking is very easy if something goes wrong while uploading and this will allow you to boot into a language you can read menu without the brick risk (assuming Aroma is running). I will assume you want your menu to be English.

Please note this wont work on applets (ie the Home Button Menu and the Internet Browser)

What you need

Things you will need are:
- A Wii U modded with Aroma (download the SDCafiine plugin in the
Additional Plugins and Modules
)
- JNUSTool (the
release.zip
file)
- Java

Getting the language file

1. Extract the
release.zip
file somewhere to your computer.
2. Open the extracted folder and open a command prompt/terminal where
JNUSTool.jar
is located.
3. Open the
config
file in a text editor and replace
[COMMONKEY]
with the actual Wii U Common Key.
4. In the command prompt, type in
java -jar JNUSTool.jar 0005001010040100
and press Enter.
5. A GUI window should show up, navigate to
content -> UsEnglish -> Message
and tick
AllMessage.szs
.
6. Click
Download
and wait for it to download.

Putting the language file on the SD

1. In the
wiiu
folder, make an
sdcafiine
folder.
2. In the
sdcafiine
folder, make a
0005001010040000
folder.
3. In the
0005001010040000
folder, make a
English Modpack

3. In the
English Modpack
folder, make a
content
folder.
4. In the
content
folder, make a
JpJapanese
folder.
5. In the
JpJapanese
folder, make a
Message
folder.
6. Finally place the
AllMessage.szs
file in the
Message
folder.

Configuring SDCafiine

1. Boot your Wii U into Aroma.
2. Press L + DPAD-DOWN + Select to access the plugin menu.
3. Select
SDCafiine
in this menu.
4. Press A on all three options to enable them. (One is on
Settings
, the other two are in
Advanced Settings
)
5. Reboot your Wii U and hopefully the Wii U Menu will be English (or whatever language you chose)!


A few notes:

• The WIi U Menu will only be English (or whatever language you chose) when in Aroma (Tiramisu doesn't have an autobooting sdcafiine plugin).
• This can be done with other system apps but I dont feel like writing a guide for each of them. You can figure it out I hope.
