Intro

This page will teach you how to apply the randomizer patch if you're using a Wii U. If you want to apply the randomizer patch for playing on Cemu, follow this guide instead.

Requirements:

  • A Wii U with Aroma custom firmware
  • SDCafiine for Aroma, required for applying the randomized files onto the game
  • CafeLoader for Aroma, required for applying the custom code patches

Applying the Randomizer

  1. Navigate to the Wii U folder, then go into the folder with your appropriate randomizer seed.
  1. Select both the cafeloader and wiiu folders, then copy them to the root of your SD card. Make sure that you merge folders if asked.
  1. With the SD card being inserted into your Wii U with the randomizer patch, launch the game. From there you'll see the SDCafiine modpack menu, and from there you can select the randomizer patch, named Octo Valley Randomizer - Seed {randomizer seed}.
  1. If all went right, you should now be greeted to some text in the top-left corner of the screen saying that the patches have been applied. If you don't see this text, ensure that you have the CafeLoader plugin installed, then try relaunching the game.
  • If starting from a fresh save file, you'll be greeted to some custom text for the first 2 tutorial messages beforehand.

In order to fully disable the mod, ensure that you have disabled the CafeLoader plugin from the WUPS menu, alongside not selecting the mod in the SDCafiine modpack list.
