Wii developer Hell Hibou has released the latest version of Wii Homebrew Launcher, which sports several new features and a couple of bug fixes.

Wii Homebrew Launcher is basically a Wii Menu-like GUI for organizing your homebrew.

This version now also allows you to sort your channels by category, and also to enter Lite Mode, which the dev describes as a kind of “safe mode.” Here’s the full change log from Hell Hibou:

Use the Power button works properly.
Fixed a bug in the string ‘Wii Channels’ in
The use of a theme. Various changes of images of the main theme by Cashman.
Added display of error messages.
Add ColorMessageBox parameter to determine the color of the text of error messages.
Add file MsgBox.png / bmp and Dir.png / bmp in the themes.
Added 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).
Ability to turn off the Wii with the power button of the Wiimote.
Fixed a bug displaying some channels several times when we move to the next screen.
Sorts Wii Channel (Wiiwaire strings and VC appear first, the chain in several versions are displayed side by side).
Add a ‘Lite mode using the ISO9 and accessible from DVD’ autoboot ‘, certain features are disabled in this mode.
Acceleration readings from SD cards.
Improving 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.

Ability to assign icons to sub-directories by putting a file title.png or title.bmp (132×95 pixels).
Accented characters appear correctly in the channels using names of folders and files.
Possibility of using icons with a lower size 132×95 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.

Notes:

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).
