Features

The Menu Loader is a simple .dol executable capable of rebooting the Wii under custom boot settings.
These options include:

  • Debugging Mode (via USBGecko)
  • RegionFree Mode for Wii Channels
  • RegionFree Mode for Wii and Gamecube discs
  • No Music in the Wii Menu
  • IOS selection to choose any version of the Wii system menu.
  • No Health/Safety Screen
  • Improved RegionFree functionality.

The program must be run each time you want to reboot under these conditions.

Installation

Homebrew Channel

Simply decompress the .zip file and copy the 'Menu Loader' folder to the folder 'apps' on the root of your SD card.

Twilight Hack

Place the file boot.dol from the folder 'Menu Loader' on the root of your SD card. Load up the Twilight Hack.

Instructions

Simply load the .dol file using one of the above methods. Select your options using the D-pad on the Wii remote and then select "Launch" to boot with your chosen settings. Note that an imported GameCube game can only save to a memory card that is either empty or only has saves from its own region.
