Just like title says, installed bootmii and turned wii off, turned it back on. Took out the sd card and it launched just fine. Installed bootmii as ios and boot2.

Did it just boot to the bootmii menu?

weary laurel Feb 19, 2023, 10:11 PM

You can configure Bootmii to autoboot to the system menu

Open sd:/bootmii/bootmii.ini with a text editor like notepad

Replace #AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU with AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU (basically just deleting the #)

Then replace #BOOTDELAY=5 with BOOTDELAY=1 (deleting the # and turning the 5 into a 1)

This will make it so you don't notice you even have Bootmii on boot2

the issue is that it didn't boot at all with the sd card in, not that the bootmii menu didn't show up.

#

is there a way to reinstall it to boot 2?

prisma hound Feb 19, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

well yes

#

just go to the hackmii installer again

weary laurel Feb 19, 2023, 10:55 PM

#

#

just realized I can't do that 8c I can't load it with the sd card in

#

I mean should I try a different sd?

prisma hound Feb 19, 2023, 10:56 PM

#

you can just do str2hax

#

You don’t need to do an exploit if you already have hbc

weary laurel Feb 19, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

ah

acoustic owl Feb 19, 2023, 10:57 PM

#

Get the Hackmii installer here: https://bootmii.org/download/ Extract the .zip file, copy the HackMii Installer folder to your apps folder. You can make a folder called apps if it does not exist already. Then run the HackMii Installer via the homebrew channel to install Bootmii to IOS and boot2 if you can.

#

ok

#

#

k reinstalling did not work

#

should I try uninstalling boot2?

marble anvil Feb 20, 2023, 12:13 AM

#

weary laurel k reinstalling did not work

what if you just let your wii sit when its stuck not booting

#

this used to happen to me and i think it was because my bootmii.ini was corrupt
