However, there is a way of accomplishing some of BootMii’s goals on those Wiis, by installing BootMii as the System Menu’s IOS, or as an entirely separate IOS, for example. A modified boot2 will not run on them, period. What will happen to those new Wiis that have it?Īt first, BootMii will not be compatible with those Wiis. There is no problem with installing bootmii as both boot2 and as an IOS.From the checker statistics, we’re seeing about 10% of Wiis with the new boot1 (all newer ones). If you install bootmii as an IOS, when you press the home button in the homebrew channel one of the options will be to launch bootmii. Installing bootmii as an IOS is what gives you the option to launch bootmii from the homebrew channel. I'd bet there are several downloads of it around. You could also download that bootmii folder from somewhere on there internet. You can run the hackmii installer again and prepare the sd card if you want. If it is named something else then it won't come up. Also for bootmii to come up, the folder has to be named bootmii. That option is what places that bootmii folder with those files in the root of your SD card. When you first installed bootmii from the hackmii installer there was an option to prepare the sd card. But this is only if there is a folder in the root of your SD card called bootmii and that folder has the files armboot.bin and ppcboot.elf in it. If you installed bootmii as boot2 it should come up as soon as you turn your Wii on. I then reinstalled as both boot2 and as an ios at that point since i didnt think of the sd being the issue. after changing to a 4gb kingston sd card bootmii loaded fine without the need for preloader and the HBC.ĭue to the issues we had with the first sd card I did uninstall bootmii, and it said it uninstalled fine. I ended up installing it as an ios also and it loaded fine via preloader and the homebrew channel.

It made me think it did not install to boot2 even though it said it could and installation completed fine. The only problem i had was the micro sd memory card to adapter we were using would not allow bootmii to load. I even did the GC hack, the load discs from the disc channel hack, and got the usb loader up and running. Even though I installed Bootmii first before doing the softmod the install process went fine. I figured if it bricked the system i could still use bootmii to repair and worse case was the softmod would not work. Even though the softmod guide author commented that it might cause issues with installing a cIOS.

I just installed bootmii first before i attempted the softmod.

Should i install bootmii as ios
