Priiloader

{% include toc title="Tabla de contenido" %}

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!

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

For more information about Priiloader and its options, you can see the Priiloader Usage page. {: .notice--info}
