Priiloader adds a level of brick protection to your Wii. It loads before the Wii Menu does (hence the name). The tool can also enable hacks for your Wii Menu, and be used to quickly launch the Homebrew Channel, BootMii, or whatever homebrew you want!

### Installing Priiloader

![Installing Priiloader](/images/Priiloader/priiloader.jpg)

{% capture notice-vwii-priiloader %}
Priiloader 0.10.0 introduces vWii support! <br> There are some important things to take note of:
- To fix the timestamp issues (FORE000006, wrong News Channel update time), you will need to [generate a timestamp fix hack](https://garyodernichts.github.io/priiloader-patch-gen/). More info on the page.
- Installing a theme after installing Priiloader **will brick your vWii.**

And some things to enhance your vWii experience:
- [Priiloader Wii U Forwarder](https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader/releases/download/0.10.0-RC3/PriiloaderWiiUForwarder.wuhb) to load Priiloader straight from the Wii U Menu. **This only works on Aroma.**
- [evWii Aroma Plugin](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii/releases) to enhance some extra features for vWii. The features are listed [here](https://github.com/GaryOderNichts/evwii#features).

1. Extract both apps to the root of your SD card or USB drive.

##### Section II - Installing Priiloader

1. Launch the Homebrew Channel on your Wii.
1. Launch the Priiloader installer.
1. Press the + Button on Wii Remote or the A Button on a GameCube controller. ![Install Priiloader](/images/Priiloader/installer.png) ![Installing](/images/Priiloader/installing.png)

### Configuring Priiloader

#### System Menu Hacks

1. Launch the Homebrew Channel, and launch the Load Priiloader app.
1. Scroll down to `System Menu Hacks` and press `A`. ![System Menu Hacks](/images/Priiloader/menu_hacks.png)

If you have put the Priiloader installer on your USB drive, make sure you do not have an SD card inserted at the same time. <br> This causes Priiloader to fail to find the `hacks_hash.ini` file.
{: .notice--warning}

1. Press `A` on each hack you would like to enable. We recommend that you enable "Block Disc Updates", "Block Online Updates", and "Region Free EVERYTHING". ![System Menu Hacks List](/images/Priiloader/system_menu_hacks.png)
1. Scroll down to `save settings` and press `A`.
1. Press `B` to return to the main menu.
