bootOpera will boot the installed Opera channel for those who don’t want to exit their loader to boot it. The source can easily be edited to boot other installed channels.
Source is included with the binary file.
To boot to a specific page, place a file in the directory you are loading bootOpera from titled “url.cfg” with the URL you wish to load written in it.
Changes:
0.4: Quick bugfix that caused the program to crash if a url.cfg file wasn’t present. Also added a blank url.cfg file as I noticed some blogs telling people to put it in the root directory, which is only true if loading from a loader that doesn’t pass the filepath as an argument, or of course if you are using wiiload.

Dop-IOS MOD is a modification of the application Dop-IOS that allows you to choose which IOS you would like to use to install other IOSs (trucha bugged or not).
While the original Dop-IOS let you install other IOS, it used IOS 249 to do it. Many people felt a certain resentment toward that on which the authors have no comment.
A better solution for all users would’ve been to allow users to select which IOS they use to install other IOSs. Enter: Dop-IOS MOD.
Changes:
Fixed garbled text bugs
Fixed downloading and installing channels (thanks to everyone who tested this)
Fixed downloading and installing system menus (thanks to everyone who tested this)
Fixed GUI errors which performed things different from what the user wanted
Fixed a bug involving the gamecube controller
Added the ability to download photo channel 1.0 or 1.1
Added another sanity check to prevent crashing

WiiToo! is a minimal precompiled stage4 made to let you run Gentoo on your Wii using MIKE and Mini. It provides all the basic software required to compile and install new programs on it, and some other software ready to be used. The kernel used is plain vanilla-sources & Wii-Linux patches, so expect WiFi working out of the box.
