    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.

    * Alternat nand folder support (other that classic root)
    * Experimental microsneek technology for maximum channel compatibilty



    CHANGELOG

    postLoader 3.65.0
    * dml: added cache... no more wait time. Cache, as usual, must be rebuilt manually (or automatically when install a game from usb to sd or remove a game)
    * dml: added an option to remove a game from sd (press [B] on the game)
    * dml: some little optimization on ui when searching for games
    * priibooterGUI 1.0b: added different way to call HBC

    postLoader 3.64.0
    * wbfs scanner: again more checking
    * neekbooter 1.2: there is an error on neekbooter 1.1. I forgot to delete 'nandpath.bin' on return to menu'.
    postLoader 3.63.4
    * wbfs scanner: incremented buffer size.
    * dml: crosscheck is done only one time per session.

    postLoader 3.63.3
    * dml: mp3 music is stopped before starting copy a game from usb to sd
    * dml: cross checking between sd and usb games fixed.
    * wbfs scanner: added some more checking
    * wbfs scanner: should be able to keep debug on sd on

    postLoader 3.63.2
    * Again it seems that mp3 playback can hang postloader in some situations. Added a semaphore for cover cache thread.

    postLoader 3.63.1
    * neekbooter 1.1: when channel from real nand is executed via neek2o, on "return to menu", /sneek folder return to it's original state and wii rebooted
    * added a new download site for covers

    postLoader 3.63.0
    * Much better page transition
    * Play count should be recorderd now also for dml
    * Go To Page works again
    * fixed: If your last page is completely full, there will be an empty one created too.
    * Much more reliable cover cache system
    * Now pl uses nandpath.bin instead of recreate a nandcfg.bin that causes "confusion" to neek2o. Also make backup and restore nandcfg.bin
    * Added a confirmation before executing any items
    * Corrected an huge memory leak introduced with version 3.61.2 in homebrew mode

      * postloader is now able to save some setting (like ios/onlyusb/etc...) directly in the boot.dol
      * ploader.sd file is no more used. The flag for USB Init (yes/no) is now embedded in boot.dol ([home]->system options->Advanced options)
      * 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

      * neek2o: now is forced ios56
      * updated libwiiuse library to support latest wiimotes
      * a lot of code clean and various little fixes
      * postloader forwarder channel is now in the distribution

      * Fixed a bug introduced in 3.66.0 that make covers do not updated correctly in game mode if page != 0

      * 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

      * Now postloader keep different configuration files for channels for neek,
      realnand and emunands
      * Default channel mode for neek and real nand is now "compatible mode"
      (WII_LaunchTitle will be used)
