=== Setting up WUPS SDCafiine ===
SDCafiine is a Wii U homebrew program that will load modded game files from your SD card. The classic version has a history of serious stability problems, as the program eventually unloads from memory, and game files begin to revert to their unmodded state. An alternative version designed for the Wii U Plugin System (WUPS) is ''much'' more stable and does not usually unload, so it is recommended.

Mods that are packaged as a graphic pack or as a BNP can be installed using [[Help:Tools/BCML|BCML]], a mod loading tool.
