Updated LibNTFS to 2013-01-13 version https://code.google.com/p/libntfs-wii/
Added MEM2_alloc for Wii.

USB Loader GX r1209
* Fixed the bug introduced in r1208 preventing game launching with non d2x cIOS.

USB Loader GX r1208
* Fixed GameCube multiDisc installation.
* Fixed progress window not hiding if Wiiload didn't send the file.
* Simplify HBC loading logic.
* Added a warning when trying to launch a Wii game with a non-d2x cIOS if EmuNAND is enabled.
* Fixed individual game settings to allow modification of the EmuNAND settings based on the game's IOS instead of global IOS.
* Added back cIOS rev17-21 support for EmuNAND Channel. issue 2152 (Thanks to Garfunkiel for the patch and to Themanuel for all the tests with game compatibility and partition detection)
This hidden feature is unlocked only if all the user's setup is compatible with rev17-21: EmuNAND Channel path must be on the root of the first FAT32
partition on a 512 bytes/sector device.
* DML: Changed the GameCube Multi-discs prompt logic to display on older DIOS MIOS (Lite) versions too.
* DML: Added a partition type verification to warn the user if the HDD is not correctly setup.

USB Loader GX r1207
* Fixed installation destination for multi-Disc based games.
Second ISO is now properly going into the existing folder instead of using the Disc's internal Game Title.
* Prevent deleting a folder when installation is canceled if the folder still contains another disc number.
* Added a new setting to select GameCube game source: SD, USB, Auto
Auto = based on DIOS MIOS (Lite).
This new setting fix two known problems:
- Device selection for Devolution is no more dependent of the installed DM(L) type. (Select manually before launching a game)
- Installation of a game on a device if the game is already on another device is now possible.

USB Loader GX r1206
* Added possibility to install multi-Discs GameCube games
* Added auto-detection and loading multi-Disc games with both Devolution and DIOS MIOS (Lite).
The Disc 2 must be named disc2.iso and placed in the same folder than game.iso
* DML: Prevent temporary ocarina .gct file copy if the game is launched from disc

Note:
If you use "GameCube compress" option (Extracted game format):
- If one of the disc is already extracted, it will not allows you to dump another disc (as it's now using the same folder, it would overwrite files from the other disc)
- If Disc 1 doesn't exist, it will tell you that disc 2 needs to be in ISO format, but will asks if you really want to install the game in extracted format.
