News/release from Crediar:
Starfall, formerly HackInstaller, is an application developed by Crediar to patch the system menu to include new features.
Installation
Just run the application with the Twilight hack or Homebrew channel, or any other prefered method. Follow the on-screen instructions from there.
Information
These hacks only work with the systemmenu 3.2E(v290) or 3.2U(v289) If you have any other version it will just return to the loader.
This tool does not update any SHA1 hashes or signatures. Currently IOS isn't checking those, but that could be fixed in a future update.
Just load it and carefully read the on screen stuff otherwise you won't be able to install it.
All hacks are optional and can be installed or removed separately.
The rescue-menu is a built-in menu by nintendo, it doesn't make your wii unbrickable. If you install another systemmenu all hacks will be removed.
Your systemmenu will only be patched, it won't be deleted. This makes the patch progress very brick safe.
New features
Full 3.2U support
Features
No healhwarning screen
Region free GC games with video mode patch
Region free Wii games
Region free channels
No mainmenu BGM
Start rescue-menu when Y is held on 1st GC controller

Online piracy has ravaged the music business and now it’s about to do the same to the games industry, thanks to a device the size of a thumbnail. Once known only to hackers, the R4 Revolution is currently the fifth biggest-selling electronics item on Amazon’s UK web store - priced at £12.57 including a 2GB memory card.
It is marketed as a legitimate device that enables gamers to store copies of Nintendo games they have already bought for their portable DS console, negating the need to carry cumbersome cartridges around. However, as some gamers have discovered, the device also stores games downloaded direct from the internet. This means that rather than paying £20 for a game, they can download it free from filesharing sites.
In the past these illegally downloaded games wouldn’t play back on a DS console because of inbuilt copy protection software. The R4 circumvents this, leading to a freeloader frenzy as gamers rush to buy the device then load it up with free games.
The scale of the problem has forced Nintendo to act. Last month it launched a lawsuit in Japan against importers and marketers of “game-copying devices such as the R4 Revolution”. Nintendo also said it is working closely with authorities in 11 countries - including the UK.
The problem is that the device itself is not illegal. “It’s the purposes that people use it for that’s often illegal,” says Rob Saunders, a spokesman for Nintendo UK. “When you fill a memory card with hundreds of downloaded games - that’s theft.”
Exactly how Nintendo intends to wage its war on piracy in the UK is unclear. Will it follow the music industry’s lead and press internet service providers to freeze the accounts of file sharers – or even mount private prosecutions, as the British record industry has done? Nintendo says it has asked Amazon to stop selling the device, but last week there was no sign of this, with R4s still selling well. If the music industry experience is anything to go by, the signs for Nintendo - and other gaming companies - are ominous.

Atlantian knitter Cassie has committed to knitting more than just a scarf. She's planning on knitting the entirety of Super Mario Bros. first level in yarn form, a project she's documenting for all of the internet to see. According to a recent post, it looks like she's a little over one-third of the way through — and it's already bordering on ridiculous. We'll continue to gawk just to see how big this thing gets as we learn about yarn color discrepancies.

Lexicon Entertainment has unveiled a new platform puzzle game for the DS called Monster Frenzy.
Set in the year 2020, the game follows the story of a mystery alien virus that's penetrated the Internet.
The game revolves around a number of mini-games in which players battle a variety of monsters. We're not sure how this is related to a virus being present in cyberspace.
It sounds a bit like WarioWare to us, except without the five second frantic race to complete each task.
Monster Frenzy is scheduled for release in Q4 of 2008. Take a look at the screenshots for a taster.

InvenSense, the company that makes the MotionPlus accessory, has told Eurogamer the relationship with Nintendo is "not an exclusive" one.
According to bigwig Joe Virginia, other companies are interested in the tech - but he's not naming any names.
"Of course we're incredibly pleased - delighted would probably be a better adjective - that Nintendo approached us... but it's not an exclusive relationship," Virginia told us.
"I can't get into details about other folks that are interested in this technology, but as you might imagine of course there is more interest out there."
The clip-in Wii peripheral adds a "MEMS (micro electrical mechanical systems) rate gyroscope" to the Wiimote. This allows rotation around the X, Y, and Z axes produced by the accelerometer.
When asked if the technology will open doors for Wii developers, Virginia replied, "Oh absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. And the reason we say that is the type of capabilities they have.
"With six degrees of freedom you can basically make any movement at all, and be able to track that in combination with the sensor bar and other sensors included in the Wii remote. Add the gyroscope capability and you have the ability to work in all three dimensions of space," Virginia continued.
"What you're looking at are golf swings; tennis rackets where you can put top-spin on balls; bowling where you can bowl curves; sword motions with forward thrusts; and in Wii Sports Resort the throttle ability." Sounds golden, Virginia.
Motion-sensing cannot work on any more axes; "Six degrees of freedom is the holy grail," apparently. The future will be more responsive and robust gyroscopes that are smaller and cheaper to produce. The power of force feedback within the peripheral is important, too.
"I really think we've just begun to scratch the surface, gaming is a huge application. But if you think of where motions and where motion-sensing can be applied then there are so many applications; this is a great time to be in the business," added Joe Virginia.
"What we hopefully have done is provide our partner with new, increased capability, and what we're so excited to see and await with bated breath is how that will be used.
"Of course in Wii Sports Resort is one application, but what's the future in gaming? I don't know. We provided some great capability and we'll see what happens," he said.
Nintendo is yet to set a standalone price for MotionPlus, but will be bundling the peripheral with Wii Sports Resort - the game used to demonstrate gyroscopic potential during Nintendo's E3 press conference.
We had a chance to see the game and MotionPlus at the show and were very impressed. Head to our hands-on impressions of Wii Sports Resort to find out more.

Nintendo has walloped four new old games onto the Virtual Console this week. And they all end in a two, too.
Samurai Showdown 2 for NeoGeo, with the sketchy Japanese translations, leads the pack. The sequel packs in six new characters, plus the ability to dodge and parry like a real samurai - such as Tom Cruise in that film.
This game has been heralded as one of the all time greats, and we think paying 900 Wii Points (GBP 6.30 / EUR 9) is worth the money to hear Cham Cham the cat girl say: "Oooh! It was scarry!"
Ecco 2, the Megadrive game about a dolphin, is the next sequel on the list. Additions in this version include extra difficulty levels, new areas and levels, and the ability to turn into a jellyfish, shark, or seagull.
Ecco would have been much, much better as a shark, because sharks are brilliant.
Another Megadrive sequel on the list is Splatterhouse 2, which sort of does what it says on the tin; it's a horror beat-em-up where you hit monsters and splatter them in a house.
Pitstop II is the last of the quartet, and was released back when I was still trying to walk. No, not last Saturday. The Formula 1 racer wooed us by being ahead of the curve; flaunting six tracks and split-screen two player races. Plus, of course, popping into the pits to change tires, refuel, and maybe nip to the toilet.
Pitstop II costs 500 Wii Points (GBP 3.50 / EUR 5).
As always, our thoughts on these will arrive sooner than you can say "Xbox bias".

BioWare's Miles Holmes has said that the developer is looking at possibly bringing Mass Effect, Jade Empire and Dragon Age titles to the Nintendo DS, according to Eurogamer.de.
The lead designer of the upcoming DS RPG Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood described the title as an effort to get BioWare's handheld division off the ground. He explained that the developer would consider making more DS titles to support its console games, saying: "Basically anything that reinforces the franchises".
"We have a lot of big plans for Mass Effect. Having a DS version would be an awesome way to keep interest alive and keep it going in addition to the next one [Mass Effect 2]," said Holmes.
Holmes commented he would personally like to see a Mass Effect title on the DS: "I tell you which one I would want. I want the Mass Effect one".

It's a couple of years late, but it looks like this Pokemon-themed DS Lite has finally made the trip over from Japan, as evidenced by this shot apparently snapped at a GameStop store. While there doesn't seem to be a game included with this particular bundle, you will get a matching carrying case, a 22-minute Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DVD, a Grovyle poster, and a Pokemon t-shirt that we're guessing anyone buying this will never want to take off. All for the usual price of $129.99.
