<p>The Homebrew Channel is where you will go to launch homebrew applications.
|
||
BootMii is a piece of software that can backup and restore your Wii’s NAND storage, and if installed in boot2, provide brick protection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--info">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. In most cases, installing BootMii as IOS should be fine, as long as you also install <a href="priiloader">Priiloader</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--warning">If you do not have an SD card, you cannot install nor use BootMii, regardless of whether you install it as IOS or boot2.
|
||
You can always <a href="hackmii">install it later</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="instructions">Instructions</h3>

|

|

<p>Note: When installing homebrew applications on your SD Card or USB drive, your folder structure should look like this:</p>

</code></pre></div></div>
|
||
|
||
<p><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">AppName1</code> and <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">AppName2</code> are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">apps</code> folders inside the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">apps</code> folder itself.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="notice--info"><a href="bootmii">Continue to making a NAND Backup using BootMii</a><br />
|
||
Making a NAND backup at this point is highly recommended, as they can be used to recover from bricks.</p>
|

|

<p class="notice--info">Tip: If a Wii has BootMii installed as boot2, your disc drive will flash very briefly after the immediate flash that happens when you press the POWER Button.</p>
