Aquilino has released StartPatch 4.0 & 4.1
StartPatch is a homebrew application that patches your 4.1&4.0 System Menu in a similar fashion as StarFall.
Brick Warning
In the unlikely case that you lose power during patching process, you will brick. This will only happen if you lose power while the patches are being applied, and as this is a quick process, there is small risk of bricking. However, if you do brick, no one is responsible. There is no warranty with this app. You should take a BootMii NAND dump and have BootMii installed as boot2 (if possible) as a precaution.
Non-Brick Related Note
I have only tested the 4.0.4 USA version and cannot say if others work.
People will be asking "Why do other regions get higher versions than USA?"
Because the 4.0.4 is the version that works. I have heard about 4.0.6 not copying saves correctly but 4.0.5 (and 4.0.4) do have the correct versions for removing copy protection flags.
Features
This is basically Starfall for versions 4.0 and 4.1.
The system menu hacks are:
Region free (including Wii channels and SD Card menu channels)
Skipping the disk update check
Removal of the health check
Booting recovery menu by pressing Y on a Nintendo Gamecube controller in port 1
Removal of the diagnostic disc check
Force Disc Region
Remove NoCopy Protection
Free movement of the Disc Channel
Can autoboot a game by booting the Recovery menu, pressing Y on a Nintendo Gamecube controller in port 1 and removing the diagnostic disc check
