OK. There is still some improvements to be made on this.
But right now this program is functional - and ready for a public release.
This program will allow you to create your very own .DOL Forwarder, without coding or compiling anything yourself. This is for people interested in Nintendo Wii modding.
The .DOLs are SDHC compatible, and have error fixes ect... This program uses djdynamite123's forwarders as base files - thanks djdynamite123 !! :D
This program will only work properly if used exactly as desribed in the READ ME file - so please take a second to read it before any use.
The next version I release should be capable of creating .ELF forwarders too.
Everything is in the READ ME.
HAPPY .DOL making :)
A Million thanks goes to VettaCossX-Alpha for doing LOTS of beta testing to help me make this compatible with Windows Vista too :D
Due to vulnerability in Super Smash Bros Brawl stage builder code, a new bug was found by svpe and an exploit has been created by developer Comex. The exploit uses coding by Team Twiizers and just as the Twilight exploit would, this will allow ELF loading from the root of an SD Card
Because there isnt a way for Nintendo to patch games, it is currently not possible for Nintendo to block this exploit.
It is yet to be released, but I will be sure to update everyone when it does with a tutorial of how to use it safely. Until now enjoy the video.

IMPORTANT (For those who dont read the read me) Waninkoko states:
This is quick roundup of all the news regarding the Wii at this year's Nintendo E3 press conference. Be sure to click on read more below for the full look at all of it.
Nintendo start off the show with a very familiar Nintendo mascot. Mario made the debut in a brand new Wii game called New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game looks like the DS version, but brings with it the ability of up to four players playing at the same time. Players will help each other or compete against each other as they work to finish each level. New powerups are also included in this new sidescroller game. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is set to release this holiday season.
Secondly Nintendo announced the expansion to the original Wii Fit. Come this fall, balance board owners will be able to try out six new exercises and fifteen new mini-games in Wii Fit Plus. The game will come bundled with a balanced board and also sold seperately.
Next Nintendo showed off some new game modes for the game announced at last year's E3, Wii Sports Resort. Which uses Nintendo's new Wiimote's newest addition, Wii Motion Plus. They showed off a comercial featuring some new unannounced game modes; such as ping-pong, basketball, archery, and kayaking. Nintendo then followed by showing off some live demonstrations of skydiving, archery, and basketball.
This is a new era of Wii hacking ;) Full featured Wii themes!
After much work and refining VettacossX and buby78 have released their Simpsons theme for the Nintendo Wii.
It's released as .mym file, which not only makes it legal, but also makes it compatible with all region/firmware Wii consoles!
The creators ask that people be linked to their download page, and register at their page to download. Registration is of course free, and only takes a moment. They are very friendly folks, and are willing to help anyone who wants help making their own custom Wii theme. :)
Here is a video of it in action:
I personally think this theme is sweet, and will be using it on my own Wii.
Waninkoko has update his SD/USB Backup Loader for the Wii, bringing it to version 1.3.

With the new release of Nintendo's 4.0 System Menu, Waninkoko has been hard at work and recently released a homebrew application for the Wii which in affect removes all of the blocks that the usual Nintendo Firmware contains. This app will download and install the new content in the v4.0 System Menu update, but still allows users to install wads, use homebrew channel and run backups.
This new update brings increased reading of SD cards and also adds a small SD channel to the system menu which allows users to load channels straight from the SD card. Pic below.
Have you ever been interested in gaming consoles that look like common household kitchen appliances? If so, here's a great one for you. Vomitsaw has recently put the final touches on his Super Nintoaster project. It's a Super Nintendo inside of a toaster, for those of you who haven't noticed yet.
This is actually Vomitsaw's second attempt at the Nintoaster console mod. He originally created a regular Nintoaster last fall. Unfortunately, both of the models have been unable to complete the main purpose of a common toaster. It's probably for the best, since you wouldn't want to get confused between the two slots. Next thing you know, you have a golden brown copy of your favorite SNES game.
Here is some more information from Vomitsaw himself, as well as a short video for entertainment purposes.
Yes, even MORE peripherals for the Wii. I know. But at least this one doesn't look like it sucks. Pictured below is the newly announced Classic Controller Pro for the Nintendo Wii. Not much information on this new controller as it was revealed on Nintendo's Japanese site recently, other than that it connects to the Wii remote.
The remote's trigger buttons are arranged in two rows now, adds hand grips and the analog sticks are now farther apart, than the traditional Classic Controller. You could say this closely resembles the PlayStation Dual Shock controllers. No word on the pricing or whether the controller will be hitting other places out of Japan.
Next up are the newly announced colors for the DSi in Japan. The new lineup includes: pink, lime green, and metallic blue. They'll go on sale in Japan on March 20 for ¥18,900 or about $195 US dollars.
While the DSi launched back in November over in Japan, the US will be recieveing some DSi love come this April 5th. Don't you wish we were getting that metallic blue instead of the blue one we're actually getting in the US?
Are you the type of gamer that loves all those classic shooter games such as Space Invaders and Galaga? Well here's a good one for you. It's called Teeter Torture, a new Wii homebrew game created by MiniK.
This game is very similiar to Galaga, but it comes with quite a hilarious twist that will truly test your gaming skills. in the game, your own cannon rolls on top of a board, which must be carefully balanced right between two TNT plungers. If the board tilts too much to either of the two sides, I think you know what happens next. BOOM.
What makes this homebrew even more interesting is that you'll be shooting monsters which will try to cling onto the board. This makes it even harder to balance the board than it already is. Gives a lot of justice to what the game is called.
To have a better understanding of the homebrew, here is a Youtube video of the gameplay of Teeter Torture:
WiiGator has just released an update to his GameCube Backup Launcher for the Nintendo Wii. This version, being called 0.1 Xi, brings with it a some new additions and fixes.
Here's what WiiGator said in his release:
Yes, multigame support is now added. Meaning games like Resident Evil can now work when using the launcher. Also new is the memory card bug fix, which means that all your previous saves using his first release of the launcher will not, unless you edit the game ID manually.
WiiGator mentions that support for all games are NOT guaranteed, but you can easily check for support by checking out the official Gamecube Backup Launcher Compatibility Matrix. Installation is the same as the previous version.
