Preloader ‘replaces’ the systemmenu (it’s not really replaced, its main.dol is just renamed) with a simple loader which allows you to automatically load the HBC, a .dol you can install from SD or the systemmenu. It also allows you to use simple patches on the systemmenu.

Warning: This homebrew application will brick your Wii if you misuse it!

Changes:

– added SDHC support
– added a new option to the “return to” setting: “return to: autoboot”
– changed FAT code to only mount/read from SD
– fixed a bug where enabled autoboot overwrote the “return to preloader” setting
– removed netcode, online update check, online update code
– The installer now get the IOS version the System menu uses from its TMD and if the version is 60 or higher applies the ES_DIVerify patch

The Homebrew Browser allows you to download the latest homebrew applications and games all through your Wii. You don’t need to take your SD card out. You don’t even need a computer! You can also delete homebrew you no longer want.

No more dead links, no more extracting files, no more finding out that the homebrew application doesn’t include an icon.png and meta.xml in the zip file!

Changes:

* Fixed scrolling list issue
* Added ability to not delete folders and not extract files if they exist
* Added ability to select starting category and sorting method
* Re-added mp3 support (add loop.mp3 and it will play it instead of loop.mod)
* Improved scrolling of the list at start up

atari2600land updated his “Video Poker” game.

Release notes:

Added some hands: one pair, two pair, three of a kind, full house, and flush. What I need to add is royal flush, four of a kind, straight flush and straight. I don’t have any idea how I’m going to make it recognize a straight, though (i.e. 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9). Anyone have any ideas? Here’s the breakdown of the “payments”:

one pair (Jacks or better) – 1
two pair – 2
three of a kind – 3
straight (not implemented yet) – 4
flush – 5
full house – 6
four of a kind (not implemented yet) – 7
straight flush – 8
royal flush – 9
