How to Use the Menu Loader on a Wii

Using "Menu Loader" for the Nintendo Wii allows you to adjust settings and criteria within the console, such as its ability to run out-of-region games or to have no music on the main Wii menu. The menu loader is one of many hombrew applications that are made by people who play the Wii and want to add something extra to it. Most of these application authors provide their product for free to anyone who wants to download it.
