Super nice to have this updated guide, I modded my Wii U with another one of yours a while back and decided it was time to do some customization. Thanks for the constant help with my lacking in WiiU skills!

[@Hue_like12]

Note: Some themes have issues with EU consoles. If it doesnt work, look if this theme has a EU compatible version.

[@DeedeeGuffies170]

how to find it ?

[@Hue_like12]

@@DeedeeGuffies170 So in the theme cafe discord, some themes have a eu version in their threads. Scroll down until you find it. But not every theme has a EU compatible version.

Hey there! I could use some help with the SDCafiine screen. I'm having trouble getting it to show up when I boot up my Wii U. I've tried setting the skip screen to false, but it hasn't worked. I was looking forward to trying out some custom themes, and now I'm feeling pretty bummed about it. Can you help me out?

[@gdminus1726]

Useful info: if you only have 1 theme set you can make it load automatically every time from the sdCafiine advanced settings **this will load mods for other games too but tou can either press B to not load anything or make an empty folder starting with "A" so you will only need to press A to load into your unmodified game

[@funkyscott47]

i explain that in the video :)

[@LitleKirbzYT727]

I was just about to get a custom theme and this pops up. Perfect timing :)

[@Jzthegameboy]

All we need now is for sdcafiine to allow specific themes to randomly pick on boot. It will be like 3ds!

[@funkyscott47]

oh that would be a cool feature!, maybe someone will make a specific theme plug-in with more options that doesn't alter how game mods load!

[@Jzthegameboy]

That would be crazy cool. I like the 3ds just opening with a different theme every time.

[@Zerroth]

7:08 I am on WinSCP and I believe I am connected to the Root of my Wii U. But the only folder showing up is "fs". No storage_mlc or any other folder. I read another comment below saying turning off Wii U and turning it back on worked. It worked for me.

[@first_8_digits_of_Pi]

thats because you dont have the "Allow access to system files" option enabled in your wiiu plugin menu. To do that simply make it say true by pressing left on it, and close the plugin menu to save your settings. Afterwards simply load your pc theme patching program again, and the files should be there. Hope this helped :)

@@first_8_digits_of_Pi I fixed it somehow, ive set "allow access to system files" before thats why i asked in the comments. for some reason after restarting the wiiu it started to show the other folders. also you dont need to go in this specific folder, if you go a bit deeper in the Fs folder you can also find the files you need.

@@XsistenceArts thats because you need to close the plugin menu to save your settings, most likely you enabled the option in the menu and then left it open, so the change was never processed.
