How to Uninstall Preloader From My Wii

Applications that change the firmware for the Nintendo Wii have the potential to permanently corrupt the system. Preloader, and its off-shoot version Priiloader, are installed on modified Wii systems as a protection against corruption. Since errors caused by corruption begin when the Wii system menu loads, Preloader and Priiloader turn on before the Wii system menu. From the Preloader menu, additional modifications can be made to fix corruptions or revert the system to its factory defaults. The Preloader files can be used to both install and uninstall the modification.
