{% include toc title="Índice" %}

Priiloader is an essential tool that adds a level of brick protection to your Wii. It loads before the Wii System Menu does. The tool can also apply hacks that are used to enhance, unlock, and/or fix many System Menu features.

Additionally, it can be used to quickly launch any Title or Homebrew, or change the way Wii autoboots.

This page documents some of the useful features of Priiloader that may be of interest.
