WiiMU is a PoC "Channel Launcher" app for the Wii. It eventually aims to completely replace the System Menu in functionality.
Please note that at the moment it does not replace any system files. It may eventually get to that point, but currently it is far from it.
Features
- Lists all installed Channels. (Does not include those with only a ticket).
- Allows selection of the Channel to load.
- Allows launching of a disc.
- Allows return to loader.
- Allows return to real System Menu.
- Has a NAND Dumper. Thanks to Redbird who released YaWnD.
- Allows you to look at all save files on your Wii. Copying does not work yet.
- Allows you to look at the configuration settings from your Wii.
- Has a Main menu. Contains Launch Disc, Launch a channel, dump NAND, return to Wii Menu, browse save files, look at configurations, and return to Loader.
- You can control the menus with every Wii Remote and every GameCube controller.
Installation
If you want to run through Homebrew Channel, you will need to convert .elf to .dol file (or valid .elf file) beforehand.
Download ELF to DOL Converter and copy the elf-dol_converter and powerpc-gekko-objcopy files into your empty directory.
Run the elf-dol_converter script.
Move your WiiMU directory under the "apps" directory on your SD card.
User guide
Load (using whatever method you feel like) and enjoy the textual goodness.
