You're welcome ^^

Actually Bootmii doesn't touch your config at first.

Otherwise it's useful in that, once installed in boot2 it's THE anti-brick solution.
You just need to make a backup of your NAND and you're close to the perfect anti-brick, well you're even there...

You no longer have to fear IOS-level bricks, a full brick is fixed by restoring the NAND. Only if you install it in boot2, and to know if your wii is compatible for boot2, there's a small utility on the first post ^^

But to keep it short, it can be useful on any configuration..

lol thanks I'm going to install that right away! ;)

I downgraded a wii to 4.0j with bannerbomb then I do the bootmii test (thing given on page 1).

It gives me error I don't know what etc but I still managed to install bootmii in boot2, weird right? :shock:

Apart from that when saving the nand it gives me bad blocks (1 for now) is it serious doctor?? :roll:

Yeah me too I had 3 in total during the backup of my NAND. But that's totally normal! ;)
Bushing had indeed flagged it on the site HackMii, he suspected there would be questions about that. Bingo! lol

A: The NAND Flash chips used in the Wii come with up to 80 bad blocks from the factory. This is normal.

Here's my little verdict after installing BootMii ;)

- BootMii: OK Nothing to report

- Homebrews Channel: OK
(Choose either to launch your Homebrews on SD or USB it doesn't yet handle both at the same time it's either one or the other, but it takes SD by default, if it doesn't find the SD it looks on your USB device

Tested with Super Mario War Wii v1.1 (on USB)

- CIOSCORP V2: OK Nothing to report

- Emulators on USB: OK Nothing to report

- USB Loader: OK (Tested with Coverflow 5.0 & USB Loader GX V 1.0)

- Preloader: OK Nothing to report

hi everyone so I can't install bootmii on boot2 so it offers me to install via IOS and asks for an SD card can I leave the one that has all my programs on it or will it format it and otherwise is it as reliable via IOS as via boot 2??

hi,

indeed quite tempting to be able to protect it against bricking.

but of course, for a config like mine with a downgrade to 3.2 and hbc etc... what would be my interest in changing or adding this bootmii? probably the choice of a classic startup or a startup on bootmii if I understood correctly.

if I do an install, do I go for a format or do I keep everything as is and just add bootmii? otherwise a suicidal test of an update

regards thomas,

can you choose to start on bootmii or on "classic"?
basically, is it that, like with the preloader, you can launch it with a particular procedure (reset at startup or other)

If the SD card is present in the Wii, it boots on BootMii, if it's not present, it boots on the Wii menu, if you have preloader it will boot either on the Wii menu or on the homebrew channel depending on what you set as boot at startup of the Wii on preloader.

Hello I don't understand the difference between installing bootmii in boot2 and in ios? If we install it in ios (sd) and reboot the wii, should bootmii appear before the menu?
I put it in ios and I can only open it from the homebrew channel it doesn't start on wii reboot with the sd inside.
Otherwise if I put it in boot2 and my sd isn't inside what will happen? direct startup by the wii menu I suppose? who can enlighten me thanks a lot

@Marto: I haven't installed it in IOS BootMii, so I can't really help you with your first question, but I'll look into it.

However if you install in Boot2, and you have prepared your SD (so with BootMii on it) and it's in your Wii, it launches BootMii directly.

However I confirm, if you don't have an SD or if you put another SD (without Bootmii on it of course. For example I have an SD with BootMii installed on it, and another with all my homebrews, wads etc... on it. I leave the SD with the homebrews in the Wii and it starts normally) in your Wii's SD reader, it starts your Wii as normal, that is with the warning message, then on the Wii Menu.

Does the bootmii menu launch even with a formatted sd? I mean by that: is it the presence of a specific file on the SD that launches the bootmii menu or just simply the presence of an SD? :?

Sorry I expressed myself badly! I edited my message hoping it would be clearer! :roll:

But otherwise, yes you do need a special file on your SD for BootMii to launch when your Wii starts up. These are the files that are installed when "you prepare your SD card" with the HackMii Installer.
A blank (or formatted) SD card obviously won't have any effect!

No, it's not your fault, but it wasn't specified anywhere (neither here nor elsewhere) so I was wondering.

Thanks for your answer :bravo:

so in boot2 bootmii does run well with the sd inside as soon as you remove it normal startup you remove the # in the sd boot.ini menu system and no longer need to fiddle with the game cube controller and it will boot for 6 seconds on the wii menu if you don't touch anything and then bootmii is useless in ios installation because if you're fully bricked how are you going to look for it if you can't go into the homebrew, now I'm at peace I have starfall +bootmii the big big ben I tell it :bn:

Well here I am, I got started... Installation perfect but as soon as I want to make a backup of the nand I get an error when formatting my 2GB SD :evil: I tried to pre-format it in FAT32 and in FAT but no better... :(

Apparently there are incompatibilities with certain SD cards... Maybe that's where it comes from
