Sendelf v5 (Wii Application misc)

Graphical client that sends files over TCP from windows computers to Wii consoles. This version does not require the .NET runtine, and also does NOT require the C++ runtime. Be sure to manually uninstall the previous version, since this version uses another type of installer.

Mainly for the Homebrew Channel, but still works with the the standalone server by Svpe.

Changes:

– Added compression support for the homebrew channel
– Changed installer to the default Windows Installer
– Fixed USB Gecko support
– Fixed some random crashes

Dop-IOS MOD v7 (Wii Application)

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:

New GUI
IOS code cleaned up some more
Now installs/updates channels
Now installs/updates the system menu
A handful of fixed bugs
