stfour proposes to us postLoader
postLoader is intended to be an extension of priiloader.
It can be installed as an autorun file in priiloader and works as a homebrew launcher with its own user interface.
When launched, it searches for the configuration file from an SD card or USB device if no configuration file is found, the user interface is displayed to allow selection of these preferred homebrews.
This homebrew is essential for anyone wanting to use an emulated NAND.

* gameBrowser/gc: added manual mios installation ([home]->"Manual MIOS installation..."). You can also create in /ploader/wads/mios.wad and cmios.wad as standard mios and custom mios
[tabs:4.4.10]* gameBrowser: fixed wii games execution (and not required wad installation) if dml is set to auto.
[tabs:4.4.9]* wad installation: now just the hourglass is shown during installation
* emuBrowser: fixed "$" separator (dosbox will now work)
[tabs:4.4.8]* gameBrowser: Automatic DM(L)/QuadForce wad installation (please, read notes carefully !!!). Thanks to waninkoko WadManager 1.7 source codes.
* gameBrowser: Fixed a bug on reading/writing configuration information
* Increased mp3 buffer size (less disc i/o)
* little fixes
========================================
DM(L),QUADFORCE automatic mode:
========================================
When this option is enabled (press [home] while in gamecube mode, then "GameCube mode = DM Auto"), postLoader will choose and install the correct wad file to execute the selected gc/qf game.
To use this feature, you must create a wads folder in your <dev>/ploader folder, for example usb://ploader/wads if your postloader data folder is in the usb device.
Then rename the dm(l)/quadforce wads as follows
DIOSMIOS_2.10.wad -> dm.wad
DIOSMIOSLite_2.10.wad -> dml.wad
quadforce_4.1.wad -> qfusb.wad
quadforce_4.0.wad -> qfsd.wad
so you will end with the following files
<dev>://ploader/wads/dm.wad
<dev>://ploader/wads/dml.wad
<dev>://ploader/wads/qfusb.wad
<dev>://ploader/wads/qfsd.wad
Use only tested wads from well-known sources. Installing these wads should be a safe operation, anyway it is your choice. No warranty provided, no responsibility on me if you brick anything!
[tabs:4.4.7]* emuBrowser: added cache system. To rebuild, [home]->rebuild cache (it is also required if plugin.conf changes)
* emuBrowser: in plugins.conf arguments, '$' will be replaced by '|'. This should make dosbox work.
[tabs:4.4.6]* emuBrowser: added an option in plugin.conf to enable recursive search of roms in a folder
* emuBrowser: plugin .dol is checked before searching roms
* minor fixes
[tabs:4.4.5]only as update
* emuBrowser: Fixed loading of AbdallahTerro plugins.conf
* emuBrowser: Plugins are searched only one time. Filters are now applied instantly
* emuBrowser: up to 36 plugins can be displayed in filters (tested). Anyway note that no more than 32 different plugins can be used (this limit requires some work to be bypassed, as filters are in a 32bit var)
* emuBrowser: added current selected plugin(s) and rom count information
* minor fixes

Spoiler
postLoader 4.4.4
* added a flag in plugins.conf to enable/disable plugins. Check the file!
* added mutex for almost any file i/o. Seems that postLoader no more hang occasionally
* added "Return to real WII" in exit menu when working in neek2o
* the folder for covers can now be changed. Check "ploader/paths.conf.sample" and rename it to "paths.conf". Postloader uses sd:// and usb://, usb2://, usb3://, usb4:// for additional partitions)
* minor fixes
postLoader 4.4.3
* removed some debug messages
* minor fixes
postLoader 4.4.2
* fixed buffer allocation error in mem2 that was causing a dsi

on the device. Note that disabling it will remove all cached textures.
* covers lookup for emus is much faster

* AppBrowser: postloader settings are moved from application xml to cache system.
* GameBrowser: changed configuration file layout. (speedup, less memory used)
* GameBrowser: titles.txt is now applied only when refreshing cache. (speedup)
* GameBrowser: removed "Clean Title Configuration" menu item (obsolete)

* Various code cleanup and fix
* enhancements in grlib library (menu button width selectable, keyboard etc.etc)
* new faster cfg library
* moved autoboot information from options menu to "about postloader" menu
* n2oboot.ini can be configured in option menu (available only when executed in neek2o)

NOTE: AppBrowser category
----------------------
Starting from this release, postLoader does not support subfolders as category anymore. Now up to 8 categories can be assigned for each homebrew. This makes everything fully compatible with standard HBC layout. Five categories are assigned by default: Games/Utility/Emulators/Backup loaders/Hacking tools, and they can be changed at runtime
(A)->View options...->Rename categories
(B)->Change category
(2)->Filter menu, with also sd/usb selection
