RaveWild is a mix between a top-down shooter, a tower defense game and a real-time strategy. You create three different units to protect you as invaders pour in at an increasing rate. Your job is to survive as long as you can.

Changes:

Added particles when combatants are hit and destroyed.
Finally fixed score, screen adjustment saving
Strategy Mode added for a more “Tower Defense” style of gameplay.
Nixed Survival Mode for the newly-added Strategy Mode; the shake barrier unbalanced the game anyway.
The player can now defend themselves against invaders when in Fighter Mode.
All combatants now have rapid fire.
“How to Play” feature was nixed.
Also, high scores are now saved in XML.

StartPatch is a homebrew application that patches your System Menu v4.0, v4.1, or v4.2 in a similar fashion as Starfall. It is based upon Menu Patcher by Isaac356.

Features:

Region Free Wii Games – Allows you to Play Import Titles.
IOS Selection – Allows you to select which IOS you would like to use.
Disable HAXX, DVDX, RZDx Checks – Disables the System Menu from blocking Homebrew.
Block Disc Updates – Blocks updates which have been embedded in Discs.
Block Online Updates – Prevents online updates being installed.
Region Free Channels – Allow installation of any region Channels.
Region Free GC Games No VM Patch – Removes region restrictions on Gamecube games.
Remove NoCopy Protection (Need To Install ALL Five) – Removes the Save File Copy Protection, which prevents Save Files from being copied to SD Cards.
Move Disc Channel – Enables the Disc Channel to be moved.
No Menu BG Music – Removes the System Menu’s background music.
Recovery Mode 4th GC DPad UP – Allows you to enter the Wii’s Recovery Mode easily.
Remove Diag Disc Check – Remove Diagnostic Disc check.
Auto-Press A At Health Screen – Automatically presses “A” for you at the Health Screen.
Replace Health Screen with Backmenu – No longer displays black/white health warning screen, so no need to press A, it will go straight to the channels screen.

Brick Warning
In the unlikely case that you lose power during patching process, you may brick your Wii. This will only happen if you lose power while the patches are being applied, and as this is a quick process, there is small risk of bricking. However, if you do brick, no one is responsible. There is no warranty with this app. You should take a BootMii NAND dump and have BootMii installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.
