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!
- 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. Press `A` on each hack you would like to enable. We reccommend that you enable "Block Disc Updates", "Block Online Updates", and "Region Free EVERYTHING".
