Note: Some themes have issues with EU consoles. If it doesnt work, look if this 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?

[@jaydenramirez9744]

Hey so I had the same problem until i capitalized the Common and Package folders. so it should look like sd:/wiiu/sdcafiine/005001010040100/[ThemeName]/content/Common/Package/Men.pack, Men2.pack and if you’re using sound, sd:/wiiu/sdcafiine/005001010040100/[ThemeName]/content/Common/Sound/Men/cafe_barista_men.bfsar Your titleid might be different if you’re in EUR or JPN but it should load it automatically if you’re on aroma.

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

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 :)

[@XsistenceArts]

@@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.

[@first_8_digits_of_Pi]

@@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.
