I installed bootmii as boot2 but when I turn my console off on again it won't load into bootmii. It just loads into the normal wii menu. What did I do wrong?

do this
hold reset, while holding reset, turn on the power

I'll try that, thanks. It wasn't mentioned in the guide (or I missed it). https://wii.guide/bootmii

When you turn the Wii on, does the disc drive flashes once or twice?

This is for Priiloader not BootMii
its boot2 isn’t it

uhh it flashes once after I turn the power on, then a few seconds later flashes again

Alright so BootMii seems to be installed
coral bison
its boot2 isn’t it
Priiloader and BootMii as boot2 are two different things
The SD card is inserted when you turn the console on, right?
coral bison
Can you send the content of the bootmii.ini file please
random root
No. I'm using one of those wii hdmi converter thingies
coral bison
Is this a Japanese/American or European Wii?
coral bison
Replace "PROGRESSIVE" with "NTSC", save the file and try again
random root
Both instances of "PROGRESSIVE"?
coral bison
On the VIDEO= line only
random root
Like this?
coral bison
Yes
coral bison
What's the size of the card?
random root
64gb
coral bison
Formatted to FAT32, right?
random root
Yup
random root
Unfortunately no, not at the moment 😦
coral bison
Alright lol
I'm not sure what's going on tbh
You can still perform a NAND backup tho
I assume you also installed BootMii as IOS, if so go into the Homebrew Channel, press HOME and you should have a "Launch BootMii" option
random root
Yep I do! I just saw on the guide that it's better to do it from boot2 if you have the option, which I did.
Thanks for your help. maybe somebody else will have the solution
this is the card i'm using if it helps

coral bison
This card should work fine lol
When your NAND backup will be completed, could you do the same video without an SD card inserted? just to see how the disc drive flashes differ
random root
Sure will do!
random root
Video with no SD card inserted @coral bison
coral bison
BootMii as boot2 is installed since the drive flashes twice at boot without SD card
So you’re fine on the brick protection aspect
However for it to not boot into the interface this is even weirder since as IOS works lol
random root
Yeah it works as IOS haha. So weird. You mentioned component cables earlier- should I try using those...?
coral bison
It’s likely not due to the component cables since you can boot into BootMii as IOS
random root
Or would changing the autoboot delay on bootmii.ini do anything?
coral bison
Delete the bootmii folder from your SD card, then get into the HackMii Installer again (using any method).
In HackMii Installer, go into BootMii -> Prepare a SD card.
Maybe it didn’t copied the program correctly.
coral bison
Well I have no idea then lol
To be honest, I don’t remember if SDHC (>2GB) are supported for BootMii as boot2…
Maybe others will know
random root
Thanks for trying anyways 🙂 you know more than I do, I have no idea what I'm doing lol
