The HOME Menu is an overlay that is shown in most official apps when pressing the Wiimote home button. Because it is implemented separately in every app, modding it is difficult.
File structure
The HOME Menu assets reside in a directory called "homebutton" in one of the title contents for installed titles, and in main disc partition for discs. This directory appears to contain a CSV for text translations, and an arc.LZ containing small textures that are assembled together to form the UI.
Differences between games
Because the HOME Menu is part of every game, some games have slightly different menus. Below is the list of known differences.
- The System Menu does not have a Reset button.
- Virtual Console titles always display the HOME Menu in 4:3, and save the state upon exiting to the System Menu.
- Photo Channel, Forecast Channel, and News Channel have an opaque HOME Menu.
