StartPatch is a homebrew application that patches your System Menu in a similar fashion as Starfall Wii. It is based upon Menu Patcher by Isaac356.

Brick Warning

In the unlikely case that you lose power during patching process, you may brick your Wii. This will only happen if you lose power while the patches are being applied, and as this is a quick process, there is small risk of bricking. However, if you do brick, no one is responsible. There is no warranty with this app. You should take a BootMii NAND dump and have Bootmii Wii installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.

Preloader & StartPatch

Some of these hacks don't play well when Preloader Wii has applied similar hacks.

If you would like to apply a patch in StartPatch, please disable it in Preloader first!
