    Hacking noob question re which loaders

    Thank you good advice. Have looked everywhere and can only find install guides not actually how to use priiloader as from what i can tell it loads its own screen on startup instead of the regular wii menu and you then select channels from there? As i have young kids I would like to check the...

    Hacking noob question re which loaders

    Thanks haxck-ziro and ddetkowski So isos reloading just means that those games are hard to get running from a usb backup? Also i was thinking usb loader gx as it looks simpler. From what i can gather about configurable usb loader its more for advanced users? does any have a better compatibility...
