To anyone who can make this into an external redirect: Make this page auto-redirect to. Īnd yes, I know these notes are kinda vandalism, but I don't care. This and the article on the homebrew schannel should just be redirects anyway, so if you think this is vandalism, BiteMii.Īnother note from Jeffy: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL BootMii ON YOUR Wii U'S vWii!! BootMii IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH vWii, AND CAN BRICK YOUR vWii!!īootMii is a system designed by Team Twiizers to enable complete low-level control of the Wii.

Installer - This is a simple ELF file which may be run using your favorite method (HBC, Twilight Hack, or any other exploit which can load standard executables).īootMii can be launched from the Homebrew Channel from the menu that pops up when the home button is pressed.īootMii is comprised by four pieces of software: It allows the Wii to be controlled mere moments after the On button has been pressed, before any IOS has been loaded and before the NAND filesystem has been read.

It checks your Wii to make sure it can safely be modified, saves some vital data for disaster recovery, and installs the rest of the components.

Loader stub - This is a small bit of ARM code which is injected into boot2, replacing Nintendo's internal ELF loader.

When run, it looks to see if an SD card is inserted. If so, it tries to load and execute /bootmii/armboot.bin instead of boot2. mini - This is a rudimentary replacement for IOS that is best suited for low-level recovery functions.Otherwise, it will fall back to loading boot2. BootMii (or bootmii-ppc) - When mini runs, it looks for a file named /bootmii/ppcboot.elf on the SD card.Source code is available under GPLv2 here. If it exists, mini loads this executable into memory, boots up the Broadway (ppc) and executes that binary in parallel with mini. Source code is available under GPLv2 at (tbd).īoth mini and bootmii-ppc must be present in order to draw a user interface, because the Starlet cannot directly access the Video Interface.īootMii allows anything from Recovery modes (creating a practically unbrickable Wii), to lazy access of the Homebrew Channel. For example, if you have corrupted the System Menu, you can use DOP-Mii to reinstall the System Menu. Unfortunately, all homebrew currently require an IOS, because libogc requires one.

Should i install bootmii as an ios
