Bomberman Land Wii — Japan Rev 1

Original JP version forced an IOS reload from IOS9 to IOS21 every time you entered the Battle menu. On modded Wiis or later system menus (4.0+), this caused a 5–10 second black screen. Rev 1 patches the executable (main.dol) to stay on IOS21 permanently, improving load speed by ~1.5 seconds on average.
