    postLoader is intended to be an extension to priiloader autoboot feature. It aims to replace Forwarders, HB Channel and the Wii System Channel with emulated NAND support. This Wii application's purpose is to be used in conjunction with Priiloader as an alternative to the Homebrew Channel and/or system menu, and also supports launching Wiiware/VC titles from real or emulated NAND.

    What postLoader is:
    ========================================
    * HomeBrew Browser with subfolder support
    * Channel/Title Browser with filters and cover
    * Uneek+cDI (+DI) game browser with cover support
    * Wiiload server


    Features:
    ----------------------------------------
    General:
    * If started from priiloader it gains AHPBROT and spawn full hardware rights to homebrew applications
    * Autoboot your default application/channel: If you don't press (A) in time to enter in interactive mode, postLoader will launch the predefined app (if enabled)
    * Direct access to BOOTMII
    * Support costom splash screen (only from SD device)
    * Full support for UNEEK environment. May work under SNEEK
    * Support for Wiimote and GC controllers
    * Intergrated UNEEK nand switcher
    * wiiload update: If you send postLoader.dol via wiiload, postloader installation will be updated (after confirmation).

    Uneek+cDI (+DI) game browser (see historii.txt)
    * Support covers
    * Support title vote

    Homebrew:
    * HB Channel replacement: It can be used to browse homebrew application, with it own interface.
    * Dangerous homebrews can be hidden
    * Full support for meta.xml arguments and all other tags.
    * It support subfolders (see notes)
    * Can browse SD and USB device (FAT32 on first/active partition)
    * WiiLoad support (straight, compressed dol, zip archieve)

    Titles:
    * Nand emulation (ciosx/waninkoko on slot 249)
    * AHBPROT is need for real nand browsing (otherwise ios249 is used)
    * Wii System Channel replacemente: Can browse and run Channels, WiiWare and VC.
    * Can run Titles from real and emulated NAND on SD or USB with folder support
    * Titles can be sorted voted and/or hiddened
    * Support interactive application sorting
    * Sort titles by vote/name
    * Titles filters (System channels/wiiware/neogeo/c64... etc)
    * Fast titles search
    * Download title icons from wiitdb
    * Alternat nand folder support (other that classic root)
    * Experimental microsneek technology for maximum channel compatibilty



    CHANGELOG
    =========
    postLoader 2.38.1

    Postloader can now boot currently inserted disc. (press home "run disc")
    Corrected REAL NAND titles access without using ios249 (if AHBROT is available)
    Adjusted some ui messages
    Corrected wiiload functionality after cover download
    Only new covers are downloaded
    If priibooter fail to mount usb, postloader do not try again (priibooter 1.7 required).
    priibooter updated to version 1.7
    Support for wiiload args was disabled in 2.37.7 (just a mistake)
    Corrected a bugs that was keeping wiiload thread in receiving state if communication is interrupted/broken
    readmii.txt update and now have it's own version number

    Known issues/todo (in sparse order)
    TODO: add uneek+di(cDI) game selection interface
    TODO: priibooter gui
    TODO: multi splash screen support
    TODO: new ICON !!!!
    TODO: patch uid.sys under neek
    TODO: more theme options

      No, even tho this has more features than the HBC. You still need the Hbc to launch this if you dint have priiloader.

      This has its pros and cons so it really comes down to user preference.

      I wouldn't recommend it over HBC, either. My main problem with it is that the font is really hard to read. I might submit an issue asking for a size increase. I also can't figure out how to download covers and titles, but that's not really a huge problem. I definately like having everything in one place, but I'll probably stick with WiiFlow for now. It does the things that I would use pL for and it looks better doing it.

      EDIT: The installation instructions aren't even correct. Lol.

      PostLoader is looking a lot better now since they increased the font size.

      You need to have a disk in the dirve to play GC games from an SD card. It can be a Wii or GC disk (doesn't have to be the game you're trying to play). It might even work with a non-game disk, I don't know.

      * added experimental gestures (enable in [home]->system options->Advanced options)
      * embed some configuration params (ios, sd only mode, hb execution mode...) on the executable
      * priibooter_gui: can now boot neek2o without any SD inside (thank you obcd)
      * priibooter_gui: support hdd with first ntfs partion
      * priibooter_gui: nouw can store it's configuration file on usb device (before only on sd)

      * updated libwiiuse library to support latest wiimotes
      * a lot of code clean and various little fixes

      * dml: sd->usb crosscheck allows 2Kb of difference to let gct codes to be stored only on sd.
      * dml: multiple disc is now supported. The only folder name scheme supported is the one from discex
