Descriptions
No londer displays black/white health warning screen, so no need to press A, it will go straight to the channels screen.
No health check
Same as "Replace Healthwarning with Backmenu".
Skip disc update check
A game will no longer check what version of the system menu you have installed. Useful for staying on 3.2x and playing the most recent games without having to update.
No sound at all
Mutes the System Menu completely. No background music or sounds.
No Menu BGM
Disables the soft background music the System Menu plays.
No Menu BGM Startpatch version
Disables the soft background music the System Menu plays. Additional it mutes the jingle from the Menu's start.
Move Disc Channel
With this hack you can move the disc channel around like any other channel by holding A+B. It's no longer stuck in the top left.
IOS Reload
Reloads a specific IOS for every game, no matter what IOS the game uses by default.
Region free channels_1
Allows you to boot channels from an outer region. So if you have a PAL Wii, you might be able to access NTSC channels installed.
Region free channels_2
Same as above.
Remove diag disc check
Should allow you to boot a burned copy of the backup disc from the diagnostic/recovery menu without a modchip (to be confirmed).
Autoboot Game press RIGHT on gc pad in 4th port
Instead of the System Menu the game disc will be booted, when you hold Right on the D-PAD of a GC-Pad, plugged in port 4. This allows fast access to the game inserted.
Disc auto start when right pressed
Same as above.
Autoboot Game
Instead of the System Menu the game disc will be booted. Contrary to "Autoboot Game press RIGHT on gc pad in 4th port" you don't need to press any button.
Disc autostart
Same as above.
Allows you to boot channels from outer region from the SD card menu.
Region Free Wii Discs
Removes the integrated region check. You'll be able to play imports this way.
region free Wii games_1
Same as "Region Free Wii Discs".
Region free Wii games_2
Same as "Region Free Wii Discs".
Region free GC Games
Removes the integrated region check for Gamecube games.
Force Disc Region_1
This forces the game disc to run at the Wii's native settings. So NTSC games won't turn black and white on PAL TVs.
Force Disc Region_2
This forces the game disc to run at the Wii's native settings. So NTSC games won't turn black and white on PAL TVs
Remove NoCopy Protection
Allows you to copy any save file, whereas some were protected by default
Error cannot load channel
Hack prohibits starting any channel. I guess this could be handy to lock your Wii so the kids and family can't break it!
Self explanatory, I guess this could be handy to lock your Wii so the kids and family can't break it!

Possible problems
