( Note: If you’re ever in a bind without a GameCube controller you can navigate the BootMii with the Wii Power and Reset button. Whether you rebooted or went through the Homebrew Channel, you should see the following on your screen:Īt this point we’re going to need the GameCube controller. If you installed BootMii as a IOS, just exit the HackMii installer and return to the Homebrew Channel.Ĭlick the “Launch BootMii” icon to load the BootMii loader. Rename it in the future if you need to use BootMii again. If you don’t want that to happen (if you have kids or roommates for example you don’t want messing around with a powerful tool like BootMii) you can, once you’re done with this tutorial, rename the /BootMii/ folder on the root of your SD card to something like /BootMii-Disabled/. If you were lucky enough to have a Wii which allowed for Boot2 installation you can simply reboot your Wii at this point-from now on whenever you boot your Wii you’ll be presented with the BootMii menu. Once the installation is complete, return to the main menu of the HackMii and restart your Wii. Don’t be discouraged if you have to install as an IOS, we’ll still be able to backup and restore your Wii. Wii units manufactured before 2008 should have no problem installing BootMii in the Boot2 slot, newer Wii units may be forced to install as an IOS. If your Wii will allow you to, installing it at Boot2 is ideal as it gives BootMii a deeper control over the Wii which makes recovery easier in the event of a brick. You can install BootMii as Boot2 or an IOS. When you go to install BootMii you have two options. If you do not already have the BootMii application installed you need to repeat the steps in our softmod guide (or whatever softmod tutorial you used) in order to call up the HackMii installer once again. To backup the Wii NAND we’ll be using the BootMii application. When we back up the NAND we are copy the contents of these important chips and securing a copy we can use to restore the machine later should anything bad happen. Deep in the swirly whirly forest of capacitors, chips, and traces seen in the photo above are various flash memory modules (NANDs) that contain critical software. The photo above is just to give you a tangible view of what we’re doing when we back up the NAND. Backing Up Your NANDĭon’t panic, we won’t be opening up your Wii with a screwdriver. The files will automatically extract to the correct directories. Download the zip file above and extract it to the root of your SD card. If you already softmodded your Wii you should have all these things on hand already, including an SD card in the Wii with the Homebrew Channel and accompanying /apps/ folder in place. **Caution: These three links are currently unavailable**Updated 2/20/16 A Wii with a softmod and The Homebrew Channel installed.For this tutorial you will need the following things:
