Note on Decaffinator:
While Decaffinator is a clever tool and I took huge inspiration from it, it had a few problems:
- It didn't set the permissions on regeneration of the
settings.txt. If thesettings.txtwas ever deleted or the permissions were otherwise lost, Decaffinator wouldn't fix it, even in aggressive mode. The vWii would just boot to a black screen. - It required disabling all update blocks, and many users failed at that.
- It went straight to the settings app while the updates were still blocked by Aroma, adding to the confusion.
All of this is solved in the compat installer. It regenerates the settings.txt with the correct permissions (which are also detected during the scan) and downloads and reinstalls the system titles by itself. Additionally, the process is significantly faster because it uses the scan to fix only what is actually broken.
