< p class = "notice--info" > As stated earlier, if you have BootMii installed as boot2, it will launch every time you start your console.
If you would like to change this, you can use the app < a href = "https://oscwii.org/library/app/BootMiiConfigurationEditor" > BootMii Config Editor< / a > . Or, you can edit < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > sd:/bootmii/bootmii.ini< / code > manually.< / p >
2023-10-04 18:19:27 +02:00
< p class = "notice--info" > Two files will have been created on the root of your SD Card: < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > nand.bin< / code > and < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > keys.bin< / code > . < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > nand.bin< / code > is your Wii’ < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > keys.bin< / code > are your console’ < / p >
< p class = "notice--info" > < a href = "priiloader" > Continue to Priiloader Installation< / a > < br / >
Priiloader adds a secondary level of brick protection, and is highly recommended even if BootMii was installed as boot2. It is especially important for users of BootMii on IOS.< / p >
