Wii U:Moving from Tiramisu to Aroma

Tiramisu has been replaced by Aroma, therefore making it outdated and not supported anymore. This guide will show you how to move from Tiramisu to Aroma.

Aroma is an environment like Tiramisu, so they are launched the same way, but it offers more features compared to Tiramisu.

In order to use services like Pretendo, you will need Aroma, as they have ended support for Tiramisu.

Please note that the Homebrew Launcher is no longer used on Aroma.
