Hey guys, I made these for my own personal use, but I started thinking and thought maybe others might want them too, At worst, it saves some time for some people. I've made some new forwarder dols based off the WiiMC forwarder source, and changed it to mount the USB drive FIRST instead of SD, and added a retry if and only if USB fails to mount, for those with slower HDD's and/or those with pre/priiloader booting straight into apps that use USB drives.
They feature:
USB 2.0 loading speeds (Tantric's emulators all boot from my HDD in around 1 second now, Faster than my high speed SD card
)
It mounts NTFS, which means, like WiiMC you can have the app in your NTFS partition and it will boot it
Pre/Priiloader compatible.
Proper widescreen support, it auto detects if your using Widescreen, and loads the proper splash, rather than simply stretching it across the screen
They use IOS 202 to load, so make sure thats installed. Failsafe of IOS61 if 202 is not found.
If your USB drive fails to Mount properly, it waits 2 seconds and retry's.
Matching splash/loading screens
All forwarders check in this order, SD > USB FAT > USB NTFS in the path listed below
Emulators
Apps
Thats all for now, WiiFlow one will have to wait, it gets additional treatment
and nobody will have a use for my WiiWare one yet.

This Channel is originally by Vibestar, Modded by Neorame. I put the original music back in and Volume Leveled it so it was no longer louder than NES/GBA channels. The Splash graphics are Pepxl's from his forwarder page (I really like his splashes he used, they are well done
), But i modded the controller to be a USA Super Nintendo controller and injected my new dol

This channel is not mine, but for completness im posting it here, the forwarder dol works with Beta 1.1 and USB 2.0 mod of Beta 1.1(Honey) both entering and exiting the app, and the channel is pretty good IMO, credits goes to them, Sorry i found it off google a while back so i dont know there name. I wish i could find the source code for it though, to add the USB 2.0 and NTFS Code to it, but with this app, it seems (For some odd reason) You take what you can get as long as it works
