Homebrew Channel and BootMii Installation

{% include toc title="條目內容" %}

You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch homebrew apps. Open Shop Channel is a one-stop shop for downloading homebrew, which you will learn how to install further in this guide. BootMii is a piece of software that can backup and restore your Wii's NAND storage, and if installed in boot2, provide brick protection.

BootMii can be installed in two ways: directly to a part of the Wii bootloader called boot2, and via an IOS. BootMii under boot2 is preferred as it provides extended brick protection, but Wiis with a vulnerable boot2 are considerably rarer, having been manufactured before 2009. If BootMii says that it can only be installed as an IOS, that's normal. {: .notice--info}

If you do not have an SD card, you cannot install nor use BootMii, and therefore will not be able to utilize any of the mentioned benefits.
You can always install it at a later date. You can always install it later. {: .notice--warning}

Here's a tip - when installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:

💾 SD Card or USB Drive
| ╸📁 apps
    | ╸📁 AppName1
        | ╸📄 boot.dol
        | ╸📄 meta.xml
        | ╸📄 icon.png
    | ╸📁 AppName2
        | ╸📄 boot.dol
        | ╸📄 meta.xml

AppName1 and AppName2 are placeholder names. AppName1 and AppName2 are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple apps folders inside the apps folder itself.
