I would like to note that this is for Wii, and will not work with vWii of the Wii U.

Currently I have v7.0 installed, how do I install this new version (v8.0)?

[JoostinOnline]

The same way you installed the original. Just run the installer and follow the direction.

You should make a NAND backup first.

How does this release of priiloader compare to the one that you were working on?

[JoostinOnline]

It's been a long time since I worked on Priiloader HDE, but I'm pretty sure about half the changes here were already in my version. It's also missing several things I added.

These were the changes to Priiloader HDE when I last worked on it:

• Support for any cIOS via meta.xml arguments, instead of just IOS36
• No blocking elevated System Menu versions
• No blocking cIOSCorp/DarkCorp cIOS's
• Support for new motion+ remotes
• AHB support so a cIOS is not necessary (although will optionally be supported)
• Prevention from installing on a vWii, which would result in a brick
• Support for classic hacks (hacks.ini)
• Support for hacks files in the root of the fat device, instead of idiotically demanding it be in a directory that might not exist.
• Some basic optimization to the original code, because it's hard to look at.

PS: Hooray for "1 New Mentions"

I was just wondering where this new Priiloader version came from, because I looked at the github page that wiibrew links to and there haven't been any changes made to priiloader for 2 years.

From an objective standpoint, would i be better with this 0.8 o HDE Version?

[JoostinOnline]

The majority of the changes were to the installer. Also keep in mind that I never got classic hacks working perfectly.

If you have a custom System Menu version, have Darkcorp/CIOSCORP, or want to use the Gamecube controller, you should use the HDE version. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter.

I'm using 0.7 to autoboot USB Loader GX using the official forwarder (no custom SM). What are the beneficits of 0.8 or HDE ? I particularly didn't get the part about AHBPROT. The installer for 0.7 was already dealing with it no?

If it's not broke, don't fix it.
