*added refresh of partition size when activating wii games mode from none wii games mode
*fixed playback of some BNS banner sounds

*improved detection of game partition when starting the loader without configs (fresh start)
*fixed remove of unused cached titles on wiitdb load
*add loading of wii games / nand channels / emu nand channels in all combinations into one list
*add button on main view for quick choice between the combinations of the three
*add "Real Nand" or "Emulated Nand" text on the game window prompt when starting a channel
*removed the need of a cIOS to launch the loader (if anyone uses it with IOS58 for whatever reason). The warning that a cIOS is needed is still present.
*removed support for both usb ports at once on hermes cIOS. Each can still be used individually but only one at a time. This is done because of some bugs in the new ehci module which make some games unbootable. The ehcimodule is now reverted to the last working one. Need feedback if the games work fine again.
*some preparations for the upcoming stealth mode feature of the d2x cIOS
*isfs is now initiated once and deinitated when cleaning up only (instead of the whole init/deinit every single access)
*removed choice for emulated nand channel modes. Emulated nand channels always need full emulation which is now always used on emu nand for channels.
*removed unused settings for channels from the per game setting
*changed default partition to 0 when starting with fresh settings (instead of -1 wtf?)

*Moved a few settings to Feature Settings and added a new Hard Drive Settings
*Changed Wiinnertag path to only point to the path and not to the file. You must correct the path manually in custom path settings or reset you configs for this change or Winnertag won't work!!

*fixed crashes on category add/delete/rename
*changed icon of category rename and mapped triggers +/-/1 to the buttons
*fixed green bar flash on game start
*fixed freeze in STATE_DISABLED when leaving->entering->saving game settings

*Updated language files
*Added Wiinnertag support.
NOTE:
When you enable the Wiinnertag in the settings a prompt will come up if the Wiinnertag.xml does not exists in the setup path for it. This prompt will ask you if you want an example file created by the loader which you can adjust to your account (I suggest you create one on first use). Multiple/Other tag sites can be setup in the xml file and loader will execute them all one after another. Also Wiinnertag requires a network connection established to be working. When you enable this feature and auto network init is disabled you will be prompted to enable it.
*Fix homebrew browser indicator counter (thx dj_skual)
*Fix We Dare anti piracy protection (thx oggzee)
*Fix Wip patching
*IOS reload block working with d2x v6 beta1+ with all filesystems
*Changed CheckBox Cross to squareroot sign
*Added auto detection of the usb port on start with Hermes cIOS (allowing startup without waiting 20s for USB port 1) (was build in in rodries ehcmodule, thx!)
*With new d2x v6 beta1+ sector sizes other than 512 bytes per sector should be supported on ext/ntfs (maybe fat too) (NOT TESTED, need feedback)
*Fixed reset of the loader when loading game with IOS reload and disabled WiiTDB titles (Issue 1874)
*Added new 'Inherit' or 'Use global' setting for game settings. If that option is set than the global setting is used for that option. (Issue 1842)
*Fixed timeout timer on startup to count correctly. (Issue 1907)
*Added two new video modes to force progressive video mode, 'FORCE PAL480p' and 'FORCE NTSC480p' (basically the same but oh well) (Issue 1902)
*Added the new 'Return to' procedure for the d2x v4 IOS for Test purpose (didn't test it, need feedback on this one). The old method is used if this procedure fails. Please test it on problematic games (e.g. PoP). (Issue 1892)
*Added additional sort mode - "Sort by number of players"
*Added support for multiple game partitions.
Note: You can activate multiple game partitions support in the Loader Settings. When it is active, all games from all partitions will be listed in the game list. Partitions can be mixed up as you wish wbfs/fat/ntfs/ext. When the multiple partitions feature is activated than the partition in "Game/Install Partition" setting is taken for new game installation. Also the free space amount will be shown from that game installation partition. This will be clickable in the future listing all partitions with their sizes.

*Changed cover download to a checkbox selection of what you want to download. Changed discart download option to only switch between what is prioritized (original/customs)

*a few little optimisations
*Reworked almost everything about alternate DOL loading (I am wondering how loading from SD/USB even worked)
*Added new Option "Default" for alternate DOL which is now the default settings. This setting will select the alternate DOL automatically for games like Red Steel 1 because this alt. DOL is always needed to play the game. On games where the alt dol option is not needed the option "Default" = "OFF". This is just an attempt to make this option more automatic. Games like Metroid Prime (the only game right now) will have a prompt on game start where you choose between 1, 2 or 3 on this option because this game always requires either of these.
*Small source cleanups/fixes
*Changed to update disc drive status only 1 time per second in the main menu (instead of every ~100ns)
*Removed global "locked games" for per game lock option which is not really useful anyway since you have to save in the game the lock status
