It's a small changelog, but 0.10 comes with a few nice new features. First Feature: loading discs. Priiloader now has a menu option called 'Launch Disc'. this menu will load the disc inserted into the wii. This launch menu is region free and will load any game from any region, both in GC & Wii mode. It will also apply Video mode fixes which should make it possible to load more games than System menu itself! However, this menu can not, and will never, load burned discs out of the box.
Other than that, if a game does not load don't hesitate to report it to me.
Next up : prioritize usb over sd.
Priiloader up until today was able to access both the USB as SD as a means to load things like the hacks or homebrew. however, it always chose SD over USB if it was available, even if it contained nothing for it to use. this is now changed.
The Settings menu now has an option to select the priority of fat device. by default this is set to Auto, which is the old behavior ( SD has priority over USB ). however, there is also an USB option, which makes priiloader load things from the USB drive before checking the SD card. which can be helpful for setups in which the SD is not the primary device the user is using to store things like homebrew and the hacks file. Together with this change however, was a full device mounting rework, and slow responding USB devices might now work better, or still show slowdown when priiloader is booting something, or shutting down. BUT at least the menu will no longer hang because of all cpu cycles going towards the usb mounting code.
next up we have some fixes, which most can be ignored by 90% of you. The most obvious fix might be that when launching a channel, priiloader will now correctly setup the system so that all virtual consoles and channels from other regions are launched correctly.
And thats about it folks.
Enjoy and keep me posted if any problems come up!
DacoTaco, OUT!
