Wii - Image 1Homebrew coder Aquilino together with BlackAce83, TiMeBoMb, zektor and da_letter_a has released a new update for StartPatch, a homebrew tool that patches your System Menu v4.0, v4.1, or v4.2, similar to StarFall. The homebrew is based on Menu Patcher by Isaac356.

Developer's note:

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 installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.


Some of these hacks don't play well when Preloader has applied similar hacks. If you would like to apply a patch in StartPatch, please disable it in Preloader first!

what? why would someone use this one:

Force WiFi Connection Test Error - Forces a WiFi Connection Test Error.

That function is most likely a small security feature for those who have little brothers or sisters that may accidentally try to update the console.
