Crediar did update his application "Preloader" from 0.28 to 0.29.


Changelog on site: http://crediar.no-ip.com/prldr-00.29.txt
Changelog in rar pack:
preloader v0.29 by crediar (3/31/2009)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


First of all I want to thank 'zouzzz zzzuoz', AlexLH, GizmoTheGreen and SquidMan.
Thanks to svpe for the ES_DIVerfiy patch.


IMPORTANT NOTE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the installer finds IOS60 it will patch the ES_DIVerfiy function,
so preloader can load the system menu with IOS60.


WARNING:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SINCE THIS TOOL CHANGES THE WAY THE WII WORKS IN A WAY IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO,
THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING YOUR CONSOLE.

I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN TO ASSURE THAT NOTHING WILL BRICK.
BUT THIS IS STILL NO GUARANTEE!!
THE AUTHOR CAN NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE IT MIGHT CAUSE!
YOU ACCEPT THAT YOU INSTALL THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!


What is preloader and what the hell does it do:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
preloader is a small application which places itself before the system menu.

It's main feature is to directly boot the Homebrew Channel or a file you can install
from a FAT device.

preloader is also able to apply memory patches the system menu to remove limitations
or other things.

Since preloader places itself before the system menu any problems that would cause
the system menu to fail are not causing your whole wii to stop working.

If autoboot is enabled and you want to access preloader's menu simply hold RESET
while powering the wii on.


Hacks:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install additional System Menu patches, simply copy the "hacks.ini" file
included with preloader into the root of your SD card.
Then,boot into preloader's settings, and chose to enable or disable the patches
in the Hack Settings menu.

Once applied, your patches are placed in NAND, so feel free to erase the file
on your SD card.

The format for adding additional hacks, or patches, to your hacks.ini file is simple
and should explain itself.


Uninstall:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The simplest and safest way to remove preloader is to reinstall the System Menu
using AnyRegion Changer or a WAD installer.


Greetings:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(in random order)
there are way to many people to greet and before I forget
some I just don't list any

Do not upload on upload dumps!
Or else crediar will stop updating Preloader...

There is no Wifi update!

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! NO ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS NOR BRICKS!

- This also patch the IOS60 if found! (So all will work proper)

4.0 Installation guide:

Get IOS60 wad and 4.0 system menu wad (IN YOUR REGION!)

First install IOS60
Than System menu 4.0
Than preloader 0.29

Done...

I'd say no, because preloader moves the system menu and then take it's place so installing preloader first and then update will basically overwrite preloader AFAIk.

Btw, anyone knows the password? Can't seem to find it hehe
Edit: Ah nvm, pressing 1 seems to do the trick, my bad

Crediar doesn't say that the installation method has changed so you would still need to upgrade to 4.0 and then install Preloader. Installing a new System Menu will overwrite Preloader in NAND...
 
so prelodaer 0.29 won't work on System Menu 3.2?
1.) update with waninkokos tool ^^
2.) install preloader 0.29
3.) downgrade to 3.4

possible? or impossible that's the question ^^
 
Will the patch on IOS60 work when it's other than the original (eg. the one with DIP8 in it or only trucha patched)?
 
ok maybe im an idiot.. but i installed 4.0.. and now i get this error:
"failed to get root, current ios 36 has fakesinging bug fixed."

anyone help?
 
Installed just fine but it does not like my 4GB SD card. It says it can't find hacks.ini when I try to do System Hacks and it says No SD Card if I try to install a dol.....
I suppose I'll have to reduce the partition to 2GB?!
