+Installation - Wii U
+Requirements:
+-
+
- Wii U with Aroma +
- SD Card (Preferrably 32GB) +
- Computer or other device to access SD Card +
- An internet connection +
+ Ensure that you don't have a default user set before setting up SPFN as it could cause you to log in with the wrong account. + To disable it, turn on your Wii U and when it logs in, press your Mii in the top left and scroll down to the option labelled "Default User" and disable it. +
+If you are currently using Pretendo's DNS servers to connect to Pretendo, disable the DNS server before continuing.
+Step 1 - SD Card Preparation
+Plug your SD card into your computer and navigate to SD:/wiiu/environments
+Make a copy of your aroma environment folder and rename it to SPFN - this will be the environment you use for connecting to our servers.
+For users who previously used Pretendo's Inkay plugin, delete the files plugins/inkay-pretendo.wps and modules/inkay-pretendo.wms from the SPFN environment.
+Download the plugins and modules found here (LINK NOT AVAILABLE) - make sure you enable file name extensions in your file browser and take note of the extension.
+-
+
- plugin.wps goes into plugins +
- module.wms goes into modules +
With these files installed, you can eject your SD card and put it into your Wii U.
+ +Step 2 - Setup on Console
+Power on the console and hold X on the gamepad to open the Environment Loader.
+Navigate using the D-Pad to SPFN and press A to select. Your console will now be connected to our servers.
++ In the top left of your screen, you should see a message saying "Connected to Servers". + If you see "Using Pretendo Network", DO NOT PROGRESS. + Turn off the console and delete the Pretendo plugins as mentioned in step 1. + If you do not see the "Connected to Servers" message, you likely didn't install the plugin correctly. + Check the locations of the plugin.wps and module.wms files. +
++ SPFN's servers are separate from both Nintendo and Pretendo, so you will need to create a new account to access our services. + Now that your console is connected to our servers, you should be brought to the accounts page Press + on your gamepad to create a new account. + Follow the process of creating the account. Select no when prompted if you have an NNID. Select a Mii for your account. When asked to create an account, press Link. +
+Before continuing, confirm that the guide references Splatfestival Network. If it does not, your plugins aren't set up correctly. Return to step 1 and ensure they are correctly placed.
+If it does reference Splatfestival Network, read through the agreement and press Agree and enter your account information.
+DO NOT REUSE PASSWORDS ACROSS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF OUR NETWORK
++ Once you have created your account, you will be sent a verification code to your registered email address. + To enter it, log into your account on your Wii U and it will prompt you for the code. + If you are already logged in, press on your Mii in the top left of your gamepad and select Switch User. Then, select your SPFN account to log back in. +
+Open Splatoon and check that you get the news.
