Menu Files

First, we need to obtain the menu files, either through FTP or by using JNUSTool

Retrieving Menu Files Through FTP

What you need

Now depending on your operative system select a ftp client:

  • Windows: Winscp
  • MacOS: cyberduck
  • Linux: Nautilus or Dolphin, the file explorers for GNOME and KDE respectively - if not usable, use gFTP instead
  • Android: File Manager

Guide

  • Use the IDS below on step 7, the folder name will change depending by the region of your console.
    • USA: 10040100
    • EUR: 10040200
    • JPN: 10040000

Step by step guide

  1. Turn on your console without any custom theme. (This will cause issues when getting the files we need.)
  2. Press L + DPAD Down + Select and search for FTPiiU Plugin.
  3. Press Settings and enable everything.
  4. On your PC open the ftp client.
  5. It will ask for your Console IP and Port Number you can see this details on your console. This is a local IP address, so it doesnt matters.
  6. It will ask for a user and a password leave it in blank, just accept.
  7. Now navigate to storage_mlc > sys > title > 00050010 > (This depends on the region of your console) > content > Common > Package
  8. Select Men.pack and Men2.pack then press Download.
  9. It will ask for a place to download the files, but it's recommended to create a specific folder to save the content.
  10. Now we will do the same but with cafe_barista_men.bfsar, Go back and then navigate into Sound > Men
  11. Download cafe_barista_men.bfsar
