<p><a href="https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader">Priiloader</a> is an essential tool authored by <a href="https://github.com/DacoTaco">DacoTaco</a> 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.</p>
<p>Additionally, it can be used to quickly launch any Title or Homebrew, or change the way Wii autoboots.</p>
