This application has been made redundant by Priiloader. Priiloader has the same features as this application plus more, or with more bug fixes. This application should only be used if there is a special reason to (e.g. if Priiloader is unstable or has more requirements). |

| NOTICE |
|
| This homebrew application makes permanent changes to the Wii's NAND, thus, this application should be used with caution. It is recommended to have a NAND backup with either BootMii as boot2 or Priiloader with BootMii as IOS installed before proceeding with the usage of this application. |
Starfall, formerly HackInstaller, is an application developed by Crediar to patch the System Menu to include new features. While it is based on Menuloader, this tool installs itself over the System Menu, providing convenience while also increasing the brick risk when using foreign patches.
Note
v0.5 is the final version of Starfall - there won't be any new versions. If running System Menu 4.0 or System Menu 4.1, StartPatch has similar functionality.
Installation
Just run the application with the Twilight Hack or Homebrew Channel, or any other preferred method. Follow the on-screen instructions from there. You can choose which patches to add or remove.
Information
These hacks only work with the System Menu 3.2E(v290) or 3.2U(v289). If you have any other version, it will just return to the loader. If you have another version of the System Menu you may consider using AnyRegion Changer 1.1 to install 3.2X to your console.
This tool does not update any SHA1 hashes or signatures. Currently IOS isn't checking those, but that could be fixed in a future update.
Just load it and carefully read the on-screen stuff otherwise you won't be able to install it.
All hacks are optional and can be installed or removed separately.
The Rescue Menu is a built-in menu by Nintendo, it doesn't make your Wii unbrickable. If you install another System Menu, all hacks will be removed.
Your System Menu will only be patched, it won't be deleted. This makes the patch progress very brick safe.
The WiiKey2 config/update disk may have problems do to some Starfall settings. Please remove the Update Blocker and Region Free (both GC and Wii) settings of Starfall as the WiiKey2 has the same settings.
