# What is Priiloader? #

[Priiloader](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Priiloader) is a heavily modified version of [Preloader 0.30](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Preloader), created by [DacoTaco](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/User:DacoTaco) and BadUncle.
It is an application that is loaded prior to the Wii System Menu, which allows it to fix certain kinds of bricks that leave the System Menu in a broken state (like a banner brick), or to add various patches like update blockers or Wiimmfi patches to the System Menu. 

**Quick note: Priiloader will _NOT_ save your Wii if you fucked up the System Menu IOS!**  

**_(On 4.3 this is IOS80) [See here](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/IOS_History) to check which IOS that is for you._**

## What has been changed since Preloader 0.30 base source? #

  * Added vWii and Wii Mini support

  * Added Bootmii IOS booting option to menu and autoboot (handy for restoring and/or sneek)

  * Support for all HBC title IDs

  * Removed need for ES\_DIVerify

  * Killed the DVD spin bug (crediar forgot to close the dvd drive in ios)

  * Re-added online updating

  * Added our own installer (phpgeek's)

  * Re-added the old black theme

  * Added a check on boot so some apps can reboot/launch system menu and force Priiloader to show up or start system menu

  * Added start of Wiiware/VC titles

  * HBC stub loading 

  * Hacks can either be added with their offset, or with a hash value to allow for version-agnostic patches

  * Added option to require a password at boot

  * Fixed lot and lots of bugs

  * Much much MUCH more...

## What do I need to install Priiloader? #

**All you need is a way of booting homebrew. (Homebrew Channel recommended)**  

If you have The Homebrew Channel 1.0.7 or above, you don't need any patched IOS at all!  

If you don't, then a patched IOS36 is required. (*Although it is recommended to just update the HBC.*)

Priiloader itself needs no hacked IOS at all. (Hell, we recommend using unpatched IOS...)

## Can I contact you guys elsewhere? #

Yes, you can! You can find me (@DacoTaco) in `#priiloader` and `#wiidev` on efnet.org, or on [Github](https://github.com/DacoTaco).
