Mighty Loader is a simple and lightweight USB Loader for the Wii, based on the code of original Waninkoko's code, but updated to provide compatibility with newer games.

Unlike other USB loaders, Mighty Loader prioritizes maximum compatibility by offering minimal options. It eliminates most other options that are commonly found in USB loaders, as they can make the tuning process slower and more complicated.

  • USB Loader (no SD support).
  • Supports only WBFS partitions.
  • Minimalist & fast GUI.
  • Ocarina cheats.
  • Automatic alternative DOL selection.
  • IOS reloading support with cIOS d2x.
  • Different IOS can be specified for games.
  • Download covers from wiitdb.com.
  • Wii Play Log support.

User guide

Configuration

Select a game and press 1, you will be able to configure:

  • Force video mode:
    • May be necessary if you want to play a game of other region.
  • Ocarina cheats:
    • You can use up to 3 ocarina cheat files per game. Ocarina cheat .GCT files can be built with Ocarina Codemanager.
    • Place them at sd:/config/mighty/cheats as XXXXXX.gct, XXXXXX_2.gct or XXXXXX_3.gct
  • Alternative DOL:
    • Some games needs to load an alternative DOL to work correctly.
    • Mighty Loader has an internal database with almost all games that need this feature. You can select which one to use.
  • IOS Reload:
    • You can specify which IOS (from 245 to 250) to use with the selected game.
    • Waninkoko's cIOS rev21 installer can install his cIOS in any of these slots.
  • Create an HBC shortcut:
    • This will create a new icon in your Homebrew Channel that will automatically load the selected game with the selected options.
    • The icon image will be searched in sd:/config/mighty/hbc_icons/, the Mighty images pack includes a huge collection of already created icons.

Select a game and hold B button, you will be able to move the selected game to another slot. This way you can sort games like you want. You can select which IOS to load by default for all games by using Homebrew Channels parameters from meta.xml.

If you are using cIOS d2x v5 or later you can forget about using alternative DOL methods. It's recommended to use this cIOS with Mighty Loader in order to increase compatibility significantly.
