−Thanks to svpe for the ES_DIVerfiy patch.
−== WARNINGS ==+On April 1st, Preloader 0.29 bricks your Wii only for April 1st. If you keep pressing A, you can get past it. So don't freak out and try to repair it.+
+THIS TOOL CHANGES THE WAY THE WII WORKS IN A WAY IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO, SO THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING YOUR CONSOLE. ALL MEASURES WERE TAKEN TO HELP ASSURE THAT NOTHING WILL BRICK.
−THIS IS STILL NO GUARANTEE!! THE AUTHOR CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE IT MIGHT CAUSE!+YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!+== IMPORTANT NOTES ==+* Preloader 0.29 will be the last version - there won't be any new versions.
−* When the installer finds IOS60 it will patch in the ES_DIVerfiy function, so Preloader can load the System Menu with IOS60.

+Thanks to marcan for the stub code (stub.S)
+
+== Note on release ==
+Since there is still a high demand for preloader and I don't really want to work on
+it anymore I thought it would be the best to release the source.
+Source is released under GNU GPL 2.
+
+== Warning ==
+
+PLEASE READ THE _WHOLE_ README BEFORE RUNNING THE INSTALLER.
+
+THIS TOOL MODIFIES THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF THE WII SYSTEM AND THEREFORE CAN CAUSE UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS.
+
+IT IS _HIGHLY_ RECOMMENED TO INSTALL PRELOADER ONLY ON A WII WITH UNMODDIFIED IOSs!!

−The simplest and safest way to remove Preloader is to reinstall the System Menu using [[AnyRegion Changer]] or a WAD installer. You can also use restoremii with the Bootmii app to reinstall your backup of your system menu, if you had Bootmii installed before Preloader was installed.
