[TUTORIAL] Install Priiloader in Boot2

0 - Let's explain what needs explaining:

- On the priiloader side: When I make a news post about priiloader (and this applies to most sites) I give you a download link for the version that will install priiloader in place of your system menu (and move your system menu so you can go back to it), but there's also another version that will just launch the priiloader menu, just to test.

- On the bootmii side: BootMii installs a modification of your wii's boot2. More precisely, it replaces Nintendo's internal ELF loader contained in Boot2. By default, your ELF loader launches your system menu. But with this modification, the new ELF LOADER will first check if an SD card is connected. If Yes, it will try to launch SD:/bootmii/armboot.bin if it exists. Otherwise, it will launch boot2, which will launch the system menu and your wii starts normally. After launching armboot.bin, it will launch SD:/bootmii/ppcboot.elf, then SD:/startup.elf and finally the bootmii menu that we all know, SD:/boot.dol. Basically, all the files that BootMii installs on the SD card.It needs all of that to be stable.

Alright, now that we've gone over a bit of theory, we can move on to the practice:

1- Let's download, what there is to download!

1 - Download this pack which contains: HackMii Installer beta 6 + Priiloader 0.3c No-Install Version
Priiloader 0.3c en Boot2.zip
b - Copy its contents to the root of your SD card.

2 - Create a hacks.ini file at the root of your SD card:
a - (on windows) right click ==> new ==> text document. If you don't see the .txt extension, rename it to hacks. If you see "hacks.txt", rename it "hacks.ini" and skip step 2-c.
b - Open your hacks file and go to the wikiTgames and copy the content corresponding to your region and your firmware.
c - Do file ==> save as, and rename it to hacks.ini.
d - Save your hacks.ini at the root of your SD card.

3 - There, we're ready! :geek:

2 - Let's install, what there is to Install!

1 - Launch HackMii Installer with the Homebrew Channel

2 - Press 1 when asked to
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2

3 - In this menu:
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2
Go to BootMii and press A. If you run into any problems during installation, go take a little look HERE

4 - Press A again:
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2

5 - Once more, A (come on, it's not that hard ;) )
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2

6 - Careful, now go to "Yes, continue" and... press A!
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2

7 - Then do "return to main menu" and "exit"
[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2[TUTO] Installer le Priiloader en Boot2

8 - For those who haven't figured it out yet, we've just installed BootMii. Now, we're going to tell it to launch preloader 0.3b. To do this, put your SD card in your computer, and delete the "boot.dol" file located at the root of your SD card and rename the file "loadPriiloader 0.3c.dol" to "boot.dol"

9 - Put your SD card back in your Wii and turn it on. Priiloader starts up :).

BONUS - You can launch any .dol file by replacing, at the root of your SD card, the "boot.dol" file with the new one.

sorry but I don't install bootmii in ios, however when I turn on my wii with the boot dol at the root it takes me straight to the bootmii menu and I'll explain why your technique interested me: if one day you restore your nand and there's a power cut that fries it, you can use wad manager with your technique to restore your nand because the other one will be corrupted.
maybe I'm missing some files?

Hmm .... good tutorial.

But ... you'd need to change the title.

We don't install.

We install a modification of the wii's boot2, then we modify the boot.dol to boot from! ;)
