USB Loader GX Forwarder
Download: https://github.com/wiidev/usbloadergx/
You'll need to install the forwarder if you want to return to USB Loader GX when you exit a game or if you want to boot to USB Loader GX when you power on your console (via Priiloader).
Install the WAD file with a WAD manager like YAWM-ME. Then go into
Loader Settings and set Return To to UNEO.d2x cIOS
I highly recommend updating to d2x-v11-beta3, as it drastically improves WiiWare and Virtual Console game compatibility, especially when your games are installed to an EmuNAND.
