NPLL is the Nintendo PowerPC Linux Loader - a bootloader that functions as a universal PowerPC binary, executable on all 3 of Nintendo's PowerPC consoles: the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U. It was created by Techflash to replace the legacy Gumboot, due to its many shortcomings. It is currently the primary bootloader of the Wii-Linux project.

As of July 26th, 2026, NPLL is currently at version v0.5.
