Known Issues

Wii U

• The binary must be placed in a specific path in order for it to start properly. This is intended behavior until wut can pass the current working directory properly to the application.
• love.system.getPreferredLocales() will always return an empty string. At the moment, I could not find a way to obtain the console's current language and region settings from wut.
• love.system.getModel() will always return an empty string. Currently there is no way to determine the model of the system, i.e. Basic or Deluxe.

---

There is now support for the Wii U, which the wuhb/rpx must be placed in a specific path: sdmc:/wiiu/apps/LOVEPotion/ or it will not work properly. This is currently due to a limitation in wut since it does not give the launched directory to the application. This should hopefully be fixed in the future, since this also prevents unique game loading as a bundled application.

Please report any bugs to the GitHub issue tracker.
