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.
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. You will see a scam warning screen. Wait 30 seconds for the text "Press 1 to continue" to appear, then press 1.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. When at the HackMii installer, you are able to install the Homebrew Channel and BootMii.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Press Continue, then select the Homebrew Channel, and press install.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Press Continue when finished.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Once installed, press back and go to BootMii.
|
|
6. If the main screen says you can install as boot2, do so. This gives you a level of brick protection that loads as part of the Wii's boot process, and lets you load homebrew to fix the brick or restore from a NAND backup.
|
|
7. If it does not say you can install as boot2, install as IOS. While this doesn't give you brick protection compared to its boot2 counterpart, it will still allow you to make a NAND backup.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Once done, exit.
|
|
|

|
|
Making a backup with BootMii is a good idea.
