Added Starlet ELF Loader
Line 21: Line 21:     
Because the [[Homebrew Channel]] had its own NANDLoader, fail0verflow never bothered to set an entrypoint, as the custom NANDLoader knew where to jump. This resulted in the channel initially not being compatible with [[vWii]]. [[fail0verflow]] solved this by adding an entrypoint to the dol header. This resulted in the channel's NANDLoader being run on the Wii, and skipped in vWii.

This is a small stub present in [[boot2]] and every [[IOS]], in the same binary as the kernel, responsible for loading the kernel itself. Like with PowerPC apploaders, this software is required as an intermediate step.
