Great work, and no offense is intended but it's just too ugly to want to use unfortunately. But worth watching for sure.

Crediar has released Freedom Public Beta 3 a Nintendo Wii System Menu Replacement, be careful and read the readme if you wan't to install this.

What's new?

- Fixed cover loading on disc change (or slot change for USBloader)
- Fixed random cover scaling
- Included a standalone version of Freedom which works best with preloader, since that way you can select the IOS otherwise it will just reloaded the current one.
- Added more error output to the installer
- Added NAND space info to the settings menu (note:the Wii system reserves about 200MB)
- Added a config file to adjust all displayed items to allow more adjustable themes.
Check the supplied gfx.ini.
- Added code to detect disc eject/insert
- Channel loading is now done 'by hand' and not through IOS or via the NANDloader, this will allow ocarina to work with all channels(as soon as I find the ocarina code) (lz77 version 11 decompression code by TheLemonM )
