Cool performance indeed forsaekn, but...if i well understood your going to wait for the gamma to be released to release then your cSM ?? Well, i can't do nothing but respect your decency, i do have a great respect for WIIgator and Waninkoko 's work, but will your cSM be the ultimate form of backup loading ? i mean will we need in its final release to install other cIOS agan and again as Nintendo is releasing more and more secured IOS ? and more than you, Wiigator and Waninkoko walking hand in hand, it will be epic if you could work with coders which are working on BOOTMII, well, you already got a lot of work, an besides you have a social life...but then you wouldn't only create the first very Custom Firmware, but you would have created an OS itself !!!
Technically the wii's OS or "firmware" is split into two parts The IOS is one and is sort of the "backend" for the firmware and the system menu is the second and is the "frontend" to the firmware, to put it simply.
In order to have "custom firmware" for the wii, both of these parts must be modified. At the moment, we only have as a scene a custom IOS, which is great. But We've been lacking the second half, which is what my cSM is. Hand in hand cIOS and cSM together make a complete "custom firmware" solution.
Waninkoko / Wiigator do a great job keeping the cIOS updated...they are constantly making it better and they deserve a lot of praise. Even if Nintendo started releasing games that required a higher IOS to function, they could with ease move their modifications from being based off IOS36 to IOS51 for example, etc.

WiiGator and I have been in contact and there is mutual respect for our projects between us. im trying to get my cSM, his custom apploader, and wanin's cIOS developed all together hand in hand with eachother to create the wii's first true "custom firmware".
Also i guess to try to mitigate the spam to my inbox, please do not ask to test it. the first release will be fruitful i promise, and soon (day-days) after Wiigator decides his gamma is ready for public beta round 3.
Thanks for the kind comments by the way.
Any high chance of bricking?
And will it be higher compatability?
