title: "Homebrew Channel and BootMii Installation"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
{% include toc title="Table of Contents" %}
|
|
|
|
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, provides 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 boot1 that allows this installation are considerably rarer, having been manufactured before 2009. In most cases, installing BootMii as IOS should be fine, as long as you also install [Priiloader](priiloader).
|
|
{: .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. <br> You can always [install it at a later date](hackmii).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Your console should be powered on and showing the HackMii Installer from the previous part of the guide.
|
|
+ You will see a scam warning screen.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. If BootMii says that it `can only be installed as an IOS`, that's normal.
|
|
1. Your console will have booted into the Homebrew Channel.
|
|
|
|
### Required Reading
|
|
|
|
You can now use the Homebrew Channel to launch homebrew apps.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
| ╸📄 icon.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`AppName1` and `AppName2` are placeholder names. Do not nest multiple `apps` folders inside the `apps` folder itself.
|
|
|
|
[Continue to making a NAND Backup using BootMii](bootmii)<br> Making a NAND backup with BootMii at this point is highly recommended.
|
|
{: .notice--info}
|
|
|
|
Tip: You can tell if a Wii has BootMii installed as boot2 if your disc drive flashes very briefly, only after the immediate flash that happens when you press the POWER Button.
