Hell Hibou has released a new version of his Homebrew Launcher for the Wii:

Wii Homebrew Launcher is an interface similar to that of the Wii menu. It allows you to start homebrew stored on your SD card in the Wii front SD slot. Each program is represented by its own customizable "channel".

Wii Homebrew Launcher 0.11 is available, here is the list of changes:

Using the Power button works properly.
Fixed a bug in the string 'Free Wii' when using a theme.
Various changes of images of the main theme by Cashman.
Added display of error messages.
Added ColorMessageBox parameter to determine the color of the text of error messages.
Add file MsgBox.png / bmp and Dir.png / bmp in the themes.
Adding variables Press, InvalidExe, ReceptInProgress, ConnexionError and NoFilesFound in the translation file (LANG.INI).
Add support for wiiload (DOL send a file or ELF TCP / IP).
Opportunity to extinguish Wii with the power button of the Wiimote.
Fixed a bug displaying some channels several times when we move to the next screen.
Trie Wii Channel (Wiiwaire strings and VC appear first, the chain in several versions are displayed side by side).
Adding a 'Lite mode using the ISO9 and accessible from DVD' autoboot ', certain features are disabled in this mode.
Acceleration readings from SD cards.
Improved access time of the DVD by using buffers.
The use of USB-flash works.
Various changes in the management of front-SD, SD-gecko and USB-flash.
Can be sub-folders to sort the homebrew and Roma (max. 8 nested subfolders).
Ability to assign icons to sub-directories by putting a file title.png or title.bmp (132x95 pixels).
Accented characters appear correctly in the channels using names of folders and files.
Use of icons with a lower size 132x95 and icons' slideshoot 'in the chain Emulators.
Some changes in the passage of parameters homberews.
No need to press (1) or (Z) for the homebrew from a DVD (it is possible to select a channel in the 1st screen even if the load is not finished).
Various internal changes.
As stated above if, one of the main novelty is the ability to sort by category homebrew. Know any time some homebrew will not work if you put them in a subdirectory or folder in a folder other than APPS (Wiidom, Quake eg.)

It also noted the presence of a Lite, a kind of safe mode. To start this mode, you need a chip and a Wii version of Zelda changed to autoboot. Simply copy the file boot.ELF on the SD card and start the Wii with the game changed. This method uses IOS9 and does not use DVDx, which is expected to use in case of semi-brick (if you get a start Zelda).

As a reminder following are the main functions of the loader:

Launch homebrew stored on SD card, USB-Flash, SD-Gecko, DVD (using DVDx) or sharing Samba / Windows
Possibility of placing in a homebrew or Homebrew APPS directory at the root of the media (compatible with the Homebrew Browser)
Opportunity to load a theme
Interface for emulators that can be ROM with an emulator (the emulator must be provided for this purpose, a modified version of the emulator is included RIN)
Possibility of launching channels from another region as your Wii
Passage of arguments (for developers)
