Is there a forwarder DOL which once loaded, allows the user to choose which app to load?

Is there any Wii forwarder DOL which when i set up various paths for various homebrew apps, when i load it on Wii it shows a menu where i can select which app i want to launch?
Let's say, i have all these paths in my forwarder DOL

sd:/apps/fceuxtx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/genplus-gx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/snes9xtx/boot.dol
sd:/apps/mGBA/boot.dol

And i'm looking for a forwarder where i can modify for include various app paths and display a menu for select which app i want to launch.

Many of you will ask me "why you don't make a single channel forwarder for each one of these?", but my goal is wanting to launch various homebrew apps from a single menu on a single channel.

In short: instead of having single forwarders for "FCEUX TX", "Genesis Plus GX", "mGBA", "VBA-GX", i want only one channel called "Emulators" and when i launch the channel, i will be greeted with a menu for select which emulator load here.

Thanks.

Crazy intro or crazy intro video is the closest thing I can think of, depending how u set it up, but requires sd and possibly other forwarder channels be installed (but can be hidden channels)

My very first contribution to gbatemp before modmii was even an idea was XFlak's Crazy Intro Videos

Edit: also there's no reason why u couldn't launch crazy intro from a channel or the hbc, but generally it was designed to launch at startup via priiloader... actually it was so long ago maybe I should say preloader instead

@XFlak

Just checked this video and this is (almost) exactly what i'm looking for.
Do you still have the source, the files, or something of that "project" so i could try editing it?

    It's not like how it was when we were locked down to a few options and that's it

    For me just buying a Pi and some accessories fills that not a PC void new consoles have just put them close to PC prices and all the patching and updates makes me feel like I might as well just get a PC

    Were talking new Gen consoles at launch here

    Yeah they just are glorified mid range PCs these days

    The age of home consoles has passed, they got assimilated
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They still serve a purpose for people that don't want to dive deep into it and just buy something that works
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the PS3 was the last console that was custom and felt at least slightly home console to me, although the constant updates pissed me off to no end.... "I got a day off from work let's play some games..." Well maybe after the hour long firmware update.... Shit the game needs an hour long update too??

    Microsofts giving us options the other two should've followed with tbh not everyone is going to give a damn about 4k 120fps
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think they should have focused on 1440P and let the TVs handle upscale duty
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    My 4K TV admittedly is a higher end one turns 1080P into 4K nicely
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Og switch should've released with 1440p and then release with a cheaper 720p panel at the end
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Switch Ghetto Edition lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Screw a lite they missed an opportunity to sell the screen
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all these retro consoles and Pi owe a large part of their market to home consoles being so expensive and the collectors driving up old consoles to the sky.
