== Instructions ==
== How to use ==
Banana Patcher uses the same format as Preloader, but a different file.
Banana Patcher uses the same Preloader hacks file format. The only difference is that you must place the hacks file in sd:/banana_hacks.txt.
Don't try to run Banana Patcher with a lot of hacks, because the Wii System Menu can become very unstable. Remove the ones your are not going to use.
In the hacks subdirectory you can find some example files, just take the one you need and rename it to sd:/banana_hacks.txt.
== Running under cIOS249 ==
== Predefined hacks ==
If Banana Patcher is giving you ES_Identify problems you can modify this hex string:
If you are only going to use the most important hacks just run Banana Patcher without the sd:/banana_hacks.txt file and you will be able to choose which hacks you want to enable:
* Remove the copy-protection of your savegames
* Move Disc Channel
* Gamecube Region Free
Banana Patcher includes these predefined hacks for:
* 4.2U
* 4.2E

* 4.2K
* 4.1J
* 4.1U
* 4.1E
