Preloader 0.1

Great news!!!!!!!
Here's the first version of Crediar's Preloader that he published on #wiidev, what is the preloader??
-It's a kind of bootmii that installs itself in place of the System Menu.

WARNING!!

The chances of bricking are indeed present and are estimated at 33%
To load the Preloader menu you need to press Reset when the wii boots
Only compatible with PAL wiis!!

USAGE:

- Launch boot.dol and read the disclaimer...
- Then press in sequence: Down, 1, Down, Down, 1
- The preloader is launched directly at the wii's boot (depending on the config performed it will launch the homebrew channel or the System menu or the Dol)

Download: https://www.filedropper.com/preldrinstallv01
Source:https://gueux-forum.net/index.php?showtopic=203816

I tried it, it works perfectly.
Once launched it actually lets you: -Launch the wii menu
-the homebrew channel
-Load installed DOL (I don't know what that's for ^^)
- Install/load Dol
-Settings

(Small problem that just occurred, a message: There is an CRITICAL update to V0.21 avaible !/My wii still works fine after that message ^^) If someone can translate :(

Uh, your news says nonsense ^^
To load the Preloader you have to press Reset when the wii boots
No, it launches on its own...
- You then have to enter a password: Diddy
No, not at all, it's just that Bas, 1, Bas, Bas, 1 in english is Down, 1, Down, Down, 1 which spells DiDDi
There is an CRITICAL update to V0.21 avaible!
That means a new version is available

No, not really, it patches BOOT2, so that instead of launching the System Menu, it launches the Preloader which lets you, among other things, launch the System Menu, the HBC, or even install a DOL file on the Wii to then launch it automatically at every startup, very useful for Custom System Menus.

My Wii works just as well (without Preloader 0.1) ^^, I'll wait for a more stable version if the need to test it arises ;)

The risk seems too high to me, I'd rather wait until it drops to 0 :D

Okay thanks.

But I don't see what it's for then?

Does it do exactly what the classic Wii menu does?

Yes that's it among other things, it also lets you boot directly to the homebrew channel or stuff like that.
And yes, the system menu is the same Wantose, you just need to configure the preloader for it to boot it at startup and there you go, your wii is exactly the same except that there's the possibility of repairing your wii in case of a brick.
For the config (I think it's not done by default) you go into "Setting" in the Preloader menu then select either "system menu" or "homebrew channel" ... and you finish with save right below and that's it.
(then to get back to the preloader menu, hold Reset while the wii boots)
Personally I don't think it's essential as a homebrew but everyone has their own opinion ;)

That's already pretty good, that means an unbrickable Wii :)

But does it allow patching the menu?

And so being able to directly launch backups from the disc channel?


Thanks in advance :D

Nope sorry Wantose it doesn't allow patching the menu yet so it launches backups, but that shouldn't take too long I think ;)

For me it's in case we brick our wii, we can always launch "the homebrew channel", "Load installed DOL", "Insatll/load Dol" or "Settings"

Thanks for telling me if I'm wrong ;)
For that there's already Starfall for unbricking Wiis.

personally I've installed it, and I don't really see its usefulness
but well over time it will become useful for creating projects using this homebrew as a base

I just had an idea.

Actually since this homebrew also lets you launch a homebrew at the wii's startup, we could launch the menu patcher directly.

The menu patcher, it inserts it during the health warning like that, the menu gets patched and you don't see the little loading.

Mickey, but what's handy is that you don't need Zelda TP since it boots the DOL directly, whereas with starfall you do.
That's just my opinion :angel:

It depends on the modified IOSes but a simple downgrade should be enough normally ;)

I don't really see the point of installing it if it's just to remove it
Especially since there's a 30% chance the console will brick during installation
That's taking risks for nothing :D
