Whoa, DacoTaco themself! I instantly recognized your name from the homebrewing fun I had with it last year. Thank you for all of you efforts on the WiiU!

If I had more time I'd love to have contributed to homebrew software but I'm just glad you've been able to make the sacrifice for the rest of us. In an increasingly corporate video game world where extracting the last penny is prioritized over the passion of the fans, it's people like you that keep that magic feeling, that sparked our interest in the first place, alive.

Hey, thanks for the message! Its good to read these! Though credit where credit is due, gary did 90% of the wiiu port of priiloader, and i was just the encylopedia for gary on how the wii worked and how priiloader injects itself in system menu!
And tbh, without devkitPro and their libogc i couldnt have done anything. Not even 14 years ago when i took over the preloader source and created priiloader!

Edit : and though it has no actual function at this time, the starstruck project has also helped to understand the wii more
