However, special hardware might help accomplish things that BootMii by itself cannot, such as hardware NAND write protection and isolation from the Nintendo software stack.

Support for newer Wiis (with reduced functionality) will have to install BootMii as an IOSįor an SD card compatibility list, See SD Card Compatibility List.īootMii will not require any special hardware. Along with the System Menu 4.2 update, Nintendo released a new version of boot2 (boot2v4) there is nothing in boot2v4 that prevents BootMii from working, but it will overwrite an existing BootMii installation when it is installed.īootMii should be compatible with most Wiis released before late 2008. Unfortunately, the only way we could completely stop Nintendo from blocking homebrew is by patching updates on-the-fly, or somehow preventing overwriting boot2. This has many advantages, such as making it very difficult to brick, and slowing Nintendo from blocking homebrew.

BootMii hijacks the boot process before the normal boot2 is run, optionally allowing code to be run directly from the SD Card. This means it can be hacked, updated, and corrupted. boot2, however, can be modified (with some restrictions). boot1, although stored on the NAND, is signed by a value in write-once memory and therefore cannot be changed without rendering a console unable to boot. boot0 is part of Hollywood and read-only. However, there is Mini (a homebrew IOS-like software), which can be modified specifically for the program, ie, for better communication to the Linux kernel.īootMii is a modified version of boot2, which is loaded by boot1, which is loaded by boot0. Unfortunately, all homebrew currently require an IOS, because libogc requires one. For example, if you have corrupted the System Menu, you can use DOP-Mii to reinstall the System Menu. Source code is available under GPLv2 at (tbd).īoth mini and bootmii-ppc must be present in order to draw a user interface, because the Starlet cannot directly access the Video Interface.īootMii allows anything from Recovery modes (creating a practically unbrickable Wii), to lazy access of the Homebrew Channel. If it exists, mini loads this executable into memory, boots up the Broadway (ppc) and executes that binary in parallel with mini.

When run, it looks to see if an SD card is inserted. Loader stub - This is a small bit of ARM code which is injected into boot2, replacing Nintendo's internal ELF loader.It checks your Wii to make sure it can safely be modified, saves some vital data for disaster recovery, and installs the rest of the components. Installer - This is a simple ELF file which may be run using your favorite method (HBC, Twilight Hack, or any other exploit which can load standard executables).BootMii can be launched from the Homebrew Channel from the menu that pops up when the home button is pressed.īootMii is comprised by four pieces of software: It allows the Wii to be controlled mere moments after the On button has been pressed, before any IOS has been loaded and before the NAND filesystem has been read. This and the article on the homebrew schannel should just be redirects anyway, so if you think this is vandalism, BiteMii.Īnother note from Jeffy: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL BootMii ON YOUR Wii U'S vWii!! BootMii IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH vWii, AND CAN BRICK YOUR vWii!!īootMii is a system designed by Team Twiizers to enable complete low-level control of the Wii. Īnd yes, I know these notes are kinda vandalism, but I don't care. To anyone who can make this into an external redirect: Make this page auto-redirect to. Note from Jeffy: C'mon, this is just a dupe of the Wiibrew article! Is this place just a cloned Wiibrew? Even if it was at the start, this should've been one of the first things to have been removed. Again, see Jeffy's note.Īdministrators: check links, history ( last), and logs before deletion. Reason: Appears to be a duplicate of the Wiibrew article on bootmii.
