Priiloader v0.5 (Wii Application)

Priiloader is a modified version of the officially discontinued Preloader. Preloader is a small application which places itself before the System Menu. Its main feature is to directly boot the Homebrew Channel or a file you can install from a FAT device. Preloader is also able to apply memory patches the system menu to remove limitations or other things. Warning! This homebrew makes permanent changes to your Wii’s flash memory (NAND) and should be used with caution.

Changes:

Redesigned a bit of the installer. it is now using the HW_AHBPROT flag set by HBC and no longer requires
a patched ios when run from HBC 1.0.7 or above. if it is run from < 1.0.7 then it still requires a patched IOS. NOTE : the redesigned part of the installer is closed source for now cause of the used code Booting a Dol/Title now stops the DVD drive as well Titles list is now forced to display in english Dropped Support of Cios Added support for Homebrew channel 1.0.7&1.0.8 booting & reloading (in case of a DSI crash) Added online Updating (full versions and beta versions. also language mods are available) Added a password backdoor incase you forgot the password.To change the password temporary to "BackDoor" press on the Password Screen "1" and then 4 times "2" on the Remote or "Y" and 4 times "X" on GC/Classic. Added System Menu TMD patching for HW_AHBPROT so that applications started by Priiloader can enjoy the fun too Fixed rare bug when Show Debug info was on and reset was pressed Fixed some USB stuff Fixed some title booting stuff (removed & moved to SD titles are not listed anymore) Fixed the green bar that could show when booting system menu Fixed .elf binary loading

Maze of Galious Wii v0.63.3 (Wii Game)

Maze of Galious was an MSX game released in 1987 by Konami. In 2002, a remake of this game has been released by the Brain Games team. This remake was written in SDL, and is now ported to Wii.

Maze Of Galious is regarded as one of the greatest games for the MSX home computer, being released in 1987. While most of the console and home computer games back then had very simple gameplay, quite similar to arcade games, Maze of Galious was an epic action adventure. It mixed the mechanics of platform games with the exploration of huge maps. It required several hours to complete, a task nearly impossible to do in a single gaming session. Ttherefore, the game allowed the player to restore its progress through a very complex password system, very similar to the one found in [Metal Gear], also released by Konami in the same year.

However, since it is one of the earliest attempts at its genre, many of its gameplay aspects might seem odd by today’s standards. There are very few in-game instructions, as the game assumes that the player would refer to the manual whenever required. So, if you never played the original game before, it is recommended to read the following reference, which contains instructions for the game (beware of spoilers, as this guide also contains a complete step-by-step walkthrough of the game): http://bifi.msxnet.org/msxnet/konami/mog/

Changes:

* New feature: Classic controller support added!
* New feature: Graphics and sound themes are now selected via menus in the title screen or in the options screen. No longer directly via buttons A and B.
* Change: Wiimote gameplay changed to be more “gamepad-friendly”

Avoidance v1.1 (Wii Game)

Just use the wiimote D-pad to move around the screen and avoid coming in contact with the red blocks for as long as you can to set a new high score.

Release notes:

Here is an update to Avoidance.

I added support for nunchuck and classic controllers, added music (GET OUT OF MY ROOM!! by VideoJames), modified your motion blur/trail to not show your black outline and improved the games performance. I decreased the movement speeds per frame but with the higher frame rate I think it still works out to being a slightly faster game then it was previously. Its still manageable though especially if you play using an analog stick and the real difficulty still comes more from the crazy number of things on screen to avoid and less from how quickly they move at you. Your score increases faster now also.

v1.1 – August 25, 2010 – http://www.multiupload.com/27KTYRY42Y
* Added optional support for nunchuck and classic controllers.
* Added music (GET OUT OF MY ROOM!! by VideoJames).
* Modified your motion blur/trail to not show the black outline.
* Improved frame rate.
