Wiibrew dev Crediar has released an update for Preloader, a homebrew app that replaces your Wii's System Menu with a simple loader lets you automatically load the Homebrew Channel, .dol or .elf file you installed via SD, or the System Menu itself.

Update already? Yesterday we got v1.0 of CashMan's Wii Home, and now we're getting v1.1. This one isn't a minor bugfix version either. CashMan was able to add some pretty neat stuff to his little concoction. Changelog's inside.

This brew tweaks your system menu and renames the main.dol with a simple loader which allows you to automatically load the HBC, a .dol you can install from SD or system menu. It also allows you to use simple patches on the system menu. To begin installation, enter "I raid u."
