Preloader v0.30 Installer / Removal Tool Released

[labonte]

phpgeek has released a Preloader Installation/Removal utility for the Nintendo Wii.

* preloader v0.30 (installer) by phpgeek *
-----------------------------------------------------

This installer/removal tool will install Preloader v0.30. It is also capable of updating
any previous version and can be installed over the top of an older install. There is also
a removal option that will restore your system menu and clean all traces of Preloader
from your system.

Usage:

Press (+) to install or update Preloader.
Press (-) to remove Preloader and restore your system menu.
Hold Down (B) with any of the above options to use IOS249.
Press (HOME) to chicken out and quit the installer!

To access Preloader and configure it please hold (RESET) during the boot cycle.

Requirements:

You will need the IOS used to boot the system menu to be patched with ES_Verify. This version of
the installer does NOT currently patch your IOS for you so please use DOP IOS or Free The Bug!!!

Disclaimer:

This tool comes without any warranties and I accept no liability if you turn your wii into a
paper weight with it. I have tested this tool with 100% success on 23+ WII's. Hopefully you
will have no serious issues with it!

Kudos:

Hello!
I have a question for you, with this tool can i fix the error 003?

if yes, how?
thanx a lot

[Brainsnake]

I have preloader rev4 installed and my wii started up in preloader menu. when i changed it to 'system menu' to boot , the wii powered down whenever i wanted to turn it on. I changed it back in menu to preloader, hbc...to startup but nothing worked to boot up my wii. And yes i've 'saved settings'. I tried to find a solution on the www but didn't find anything to solve this.

Now i found it myself and want to share it with you guys.

Make the changes you want (eg. boot system menu) , then start a game that gives error#002 blue screen, power off your wii and boot again. Now it will boot with the changes you made.

Ps. sorry if my english is bad (I'm Flemish-speaking from Belgium)


Edit: This helps only ones, Whenever i turn the wii off and on i have the same problem again.

Is there anyone who can help my with this problem?

No becouse you cant install it with a error 003.But i heard that the savemii dongle can fix the error 003 and then you can use the Rescue Menu.Plz forget preloader its crap.Just install my custom system ios´s and you will be able to boot any hombrewed disk via rescue menu that you can find on the web.

But you have to install such things before running into a brick


At Brainsnake
Forget preloader and use one of my Hack-Packs and you will be able to boot any hombrewed disk available on the web to unbrick your Wii.I will do new packs with custom Theme and such nice things.Give a look for the sticky post and be ready for the release today.
