Well, this is a pleasant surprise. PSP homebrew developer Red Squirrel has released his first ever Wiibrew application.

Called Menu Rebooter, this program temporarily patches your Wii Menu to allow you to launch backups. The program is based off (and compatible with) Wiigator's Backup Launcher v0.3 Gamma. It's similar to waninkoko's MenuPatcher.

Here's the read me from Red Squirrel (pay attention now - this isn't included in the download archive, unless you can read Italian):

Note:

• In the package you will find program .DOL, a .WAD channel and the APPS folder for  Homebrew Channel: so you can choose your favourite way to use it

What's it?

• Menu Rebooter is a tool born from Backup Launcher v0.3gamma sources that will patch your Nintendo Wii's menu (only temporarily!) to allow you to launch backups directly from official Disc Channel, like original games!

Is it standing and dangerous patch?

• No, to cancel its effect you have only to shutdown or reboot your console: so nothing of standing or dangerous!

What do we gain with a "patched" menu?

• Essentially three things:

1. Possibility to launch backup discs in your Wii directly from official Disc Channel, like original games!
2. Possibility to copy on SD all saves, those protected too! (ex. Mario Kart save, ecc...)
3. Region Free for all discs!

So is it similar to Waninkoko's Menu Patcher?

• Yes, it is the same thing in practice. But it does not require Waninkoko's cIOS, it works directly with WiGator Backup Launcher v0.3gamma one!

In channel version TV screen flash green for some seconds... is it normal?

• Yes, quiet, it is a bug caused by the channel, but absolutely nothing of dangerous for your TV or Wii.

There is no logo or image in channel version... why?

• In this way WAD file is only 300Kb... so it will take less space in your Wii memory.
• More space to use for other games or channels :D

Could I see where you modify Backup Launcher v0.3gamma sources?

• Of course, I attached to package the modified sources respecting GPL license of the project.
• Download by yourself BL v0.3gamma sources and then overwrite "source" folder with that contained in the package.
