USB Loader GX V3.0 Final - Cette version frôle la perfection

USB Loader GX est un loader permettant de charger des jeux depuis un disque dur externe, ou une clé USB, à condition que la Wii soit modifiée. Il aborde une interface similaire à celle du menu Wii, et il est très simple d'utilisation.

Alors que les versions précédentes étaient déjà irréprochables, tant au niveau des fonctionnalités que de la stabilité, la team à l'origine de cette bombe, nous propose une version finale 3.0 encore plus aboutie avec une bonne dose d'ajouts et d'améliorations.

Changelog USB Loader GX v3.0 Finale :

Attention :

USB Loader GX 3.0 est une mise à jour qui ne se fera pas automatiquement en remplaçant l'ancienne. Si vous souhaitez utiliser cette version finale 3.0, il vous faudra supprimer l'ancienne version manuellement et la remplacer par la nouvelle. Soit en téléchargeant cette dernière ci-dessous, ou en passant par Sciifii MOD MAtt.

Le changelog étant assez long et manquant de temps pour le traduire, nous l'avons laissé en l'état. Nous essayerons de le traduire au fur et à mesure et si vous êtes partant pour nous donner un coup de main, vous êtes les bienvenus.
