FIX94 posted [a thread](https://gbatemp.net/threads/forwarder-with-meta-xml-support.273165/) in which they provided the source code for their Configurable USB Loader forwarder channel. Thank you, FIX94!_\n\n---\n## Installation\n\nYou should NOT install this forwarder by itself- other software is needed in order for the Open Shop Channel software suite to function properly.\n\nVisit https://oscwii.org for download links and installation instructions.\n\n## Purpose\n\nThis application attempts to load and execute `/openshopchannel/downloader/boot.dol` from the SD card on the user's Wii system. Because this application only loads and executes another application, it is known as a forwarder.\n\nIf the application fails to set up SD card access, open the target file, or read the target file, it will launch the Wii Shop Channel to the page `/error?error=FAT_INIT_FAILED`, `/error?error=DOL_OPEN_FAILED`, or `/error?error=DOL_BUFF_FAILED`, respectively.\n\n## Intended Packaging\n\nThis application is automatically installed by the Open Shop Channel patcher software, although WADS are maintained here.\n\nThis application is meant to be installed as a [hidden channel](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Title_database#00010008:_.22Hidden.22_channels), and should be packaged as a [WAD](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/WAD_files). If installed correctly, the channel will take up about 1 megabyte of the system NAND, and will not occupy a channel slot in the System Menu.\n\nAn example of a correctly packed WAD is included in the releases section, as well as the unpacked WAD tree with the correct [title metadata](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Title_metadata) and [ticket](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Ticket). The example WAD was created with [CustomizeMii](https://sites.google.com/site/completesg/useful-tools/customizemii), and is based off of [SifJar's \"Base 1\"](https://sites.google.com/site/wiibannerguide/base-wads-2) base WAD.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenshopchannel%2Fosc-forwarder","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fopenshopchannel%2Fosc-forwarder","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fopenshopchannel%2Fosc-forwarder/lists"}
