Hello! Do you have Aroma set up on your Wii U console?

#

Or actually, do you have the Dumpling app on the Wii U?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:10 PM

#

gentle plinth Hello! Do you have Aroma set up on your Wii U console?

Yes I have aroma on my console but I don't have one Dumpling app

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Oh, then lemme find out how to get you Dumpling. I think it can be found in the Homebrew App store

#

If you have that installed on the console

#

Great that you have Aroma haha. Makes things easier

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

gentle plinth Great that you have Aroma haha. Makes things easier

I have aroma and tiramisu xD

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

Haha perfect

#

Alright, so go here and download this zip file

#

GitHub

Release dumpling 2.7.1 · dumpling-app/dumpling

Changelog

Aroma users will now be asked if they want to enable SD card access. This does now require shutting down Aroma temporarily while Dumpling is running.

This is to prevent potential SD car...

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

hey one question

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

Yeah, tell me

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

Why does the Hombrewer look black on me?

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

Oh, on the Wii U?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

yes

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:13 PM

#

I'm not sure actually

#

Like, which part is black in colour?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

gentle plinth Like, which part is black in colour?

gamepad

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:14 PM

#

Oh, it's not turning on or something?

#

Maybe turn on and off your console

#

That usually fixes things for me

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

gentle plinth https://github.com/dumpling-app/dumpling/releases/tag/2.7.1

I already have the file

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:15 PM

#

Oh great

#

So did you extract the files to your SD card?

#

Because if you did, then Dumpling should show up on the Wii U main menu as an app

#

Look at the picture of the dumplings and find that same icon on your Wii U

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

wait hahaha

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:16 PM

#

Haha take your time

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

ready

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

Great

#

Haha so you have Dumpling open now?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

Because we need to dump your online files

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

¿?

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

Oh perfect

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:17 PM

#

ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Now put that SD card back into your Wii U

#

And find Dumpling and open it

#

You need to enable Aroma first

#

I have it set to autoboot into Aroma upon turning on my Wii U

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

Oh, do you have friends on your Pretendo account or is it empty?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:18 PM

#

gentle plinth Oh, do you have friends on your Pretendo account or is it empty?

empty hahaha

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

Ok easier haha

#

Mine is too for now

#

So we don't need to bother dumping the friends list then

#

Just the online files

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

So once you launch Dumpling just let me know

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

open the program?

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:20 PM

#

Yep

#

The Dumpling app

#

Would you like to also dump your Nintendo Network ID files? The old account before Pretendo

#

There isn't much point now, so maybe it's best to just dump Pretendo since that's the only thing that will connect now hah

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:21 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:21 PM

#

Alright, select 'Allow SD card access and stop CFW'

#

This froze my Wii U the first time I selected it, so I had to restart

#

But tell me what happens

#

It should go through a list of things and then stop

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:22 PM

#

Alright, let me know if it stays stuck like this

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

Freeze xD

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:23 PM

#

For like 10 seconds

#

Haha wow

#

Alright, turn off and on your console

#

And try one more time

#

That's what made it work for me

#

We have to be patient with these things haha

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

How many times do I have to do it?

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

Just once

#

That's what worked for me

#

It depends

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:24 PM

#

Just show me what happens when you click the same option as before

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

Yeah, go to 'Dump files to use Cemu online'

#

That's all we need for now

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:25 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

Alright, so see the online account?

#

How many accounts do you have on your Wii U?

#

Because you have to press on the 'Right' button to keep scrolling through your accounts until you find the Pretendo one

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

6 or 5

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:26 PM

#

Alright and you made your Pretendo account last, right?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

yes

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Great

#

So now go down to 'Online Account'

#

And start pressing 'Right' on the D-Pad

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

ok ready

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Until you find the Pretendo account

#

Great

#

Then go down to 'Confirm'

#

And press A

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:27 PM

#

Great

#

This will work

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

ready

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

Haha it's only 10.4 MB for everything, so it'll be quick

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

off wii u?

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:28 PM

#

Yeah, press the button in Dumpling that says 'Shutdown Wii U' or something

#

It should turn it off for you

#

Plug the SD card back in to your computer

#

#

Copy the otp.bin and seeprom.bin files to your Cemu folder

#

The one with the Cemu.exe file in it

#

Like I showed you

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:30 PM

#

wait

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:30 PM

#

Yep

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:30 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

Yeah, so take those two files (otp and seeprom) and copy them to the Cemu folder

#

Then open your Haypiedra1 folder

#

And show me what's inside

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

#

MLC01

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

Yeah, open that mlc01 folder

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

And copy both the sys and usr folders into your Cemu folder's mlc folder

#

Those same two folders are already in your Cemu's mlc folder, so we want to paste over them

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

ok ready

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Alright, so that's everything. Now open Cemu

#

And go back to your account settings and check if there's still an error message

#

It should say 'Your account is a valid online account

#

'

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Under the checkbox for 'Enable online mode'

#

Oh, is it still saying this?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

yes

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

But wait, it's not saying that otp and seeprom are missing

#

Which is a good thing haha

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

and put the folders

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Yeah

#

Let me see

#

Do you have these two folders?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

I think I didn't put it right

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

#

Wait, how did you put it?

#

Show me your mlc folder inside the Cemu folder

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

yep

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

Hmm then wait, show me your account settings page in Cemu

#

Let's make sure you've selected the right account

#

Is there anything inside the ccerts and scerts folders?

#

They should both have your Wii U data in them

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

yes

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

Yeah, that's perfect

#

It should work then

#

Did you close and open Cemu?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

gentle plinth Did you close and open Cemu?

yes

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

Oh wait, what version are you on for Cemu?

#

Mine's 2.0-77

#

Experimental version

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

eh

#

no

#

2.0-65

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

Oh, then it should still work

#

Try updating

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

Wait, go to Options > General

#

In Cemu

#

And show me what it says

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

ok ok

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:41 PM

#

I want to make sure it's looking at the right mlc path

#

Haha when you can

#

Because I think it's looking for those files in the wrong location on your computer

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

Nope

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

Show me this page

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:42 PM

#

#

First Options

#

Then General settings

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:43 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

Alright

#

Is Cemu on your C or D drive?

#

Mine's on the C drive

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

the old one in D the new one in C

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

Oh, understood

#

Do you wanna transfer the new one to D as well?

#

Or wait

#

Just press on the path in the MLC area in this box

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

then I do it hahaha

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:45 PM

#

And press backspace

#

The 'D:/Juegos Wii U/Datos de Guardado

#

Delete that

#

But keep the 'Rutas de juego' path

#

Don't move Cemu yet

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:46 PM

#

Perfect

#

Now try closing and opening Cemu

#

See if the error stills shows up

#

I think it should disappear

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

YEAAAAAAH

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

It worked????

#

Haha

#

YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYY

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:47 PM

#

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

And tell me if you can get into a game

#

Maybe I should play with you haha

#

To celebrate

#

Oh wait, check your active account first

#

Before launching Splatoon

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

Because I don't know if Haypiedra1 (80000001) is the Pretendo one

#

In your last screenshot

#

How many accounts are there?

#

If you click the down arrow

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

gentle plinth How many accounts are there?

edgy flax Apr 12, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

gentle plinth Apr 12, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

The issue was that it was looking for the mlc01 folder in the wrong location

#

Haha wait, do you have a save file on your Wii U?

#

For Splatoon?

#

Because you can transfer it to Cemu

#

And continue playing there

#

Then transfer it back to the Wii U to continue there and back and forth ahha

#

Hi Stahl

#

Did you do every step above by dumping your online files?

digital needle Apr 13, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

Good luck connecting right now. Staff's looking into why.

gentle plinth Apr 13, 2024, 10:05 PM

#

Oh, I haven't checked today

#

But yesterday the connection was really not great

desert hull Apr 14, 2024, 11:35 AM

#

gentle plinth Did you do every step above by dumping your online files?

yes

#

D:

digital needle Apr 14, 2024, 11:38 AM

#

It worked for me after putting the files in the mlc01 subdirectory if I recall correctly.
I just threw a NAND dump at Cemu and was ready to go.
Still, for the time being connecting remains impossible.

desert hull Apr 14, 2024, 1:03 PM

#

digital needle It worked for me after putting the files in the mlc01 subdirectory if I recall c...

what files

digital needle Apr 14, 2024, 1:09 PM

#

The files you dump for playing online.

#

Alternatively, just dump your console's entire NAND and put the files inside the mlc01 subdirectory in Cemu's path
