Installing HackMii Hello again, I just read that HackMii was released, and I'm trying to install it, but I'm having some problems, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. So I am currently using Bannerbomb on my Version 4.0 Wii, and I have the Homebrew channel installed. And I have the HackMii download file downloaded. This is how I'm trying to install it: I am putting the 'hackmii_installer' folder in the apps folder of my SD card. Then I go into Data Management>Channels and load my usual .bin file. I go into my apps folder and try selecting "installer_beta1.elf" but all it does is freeze after that point. Am I doing something wrong here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I looked around, and it says on HackMii's website that "We recommend launching BootMii installer through the Homebrew Channel, if you are capable of running homebrew" I can run homebrew, so how on earth do I use the installer in the homebrew channel?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16720#msg-16720Sat, 11 Jul 2026 11:04:20 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16812#msg-16812 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16812#msg-16812one post was so helpful. Honestly not bothered unless I've helped you in other threads before, and in which case, I want my share of the cookie Kage!
I also need to test that trick from step 2 to see if it actually works...]]> PhoenixTank Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 05:07:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16778#msg-16778 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16778#msg-16778 billsfan444 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:47:56 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16773#msg-16773 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16773#msg-16773 Kage52124 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:29:27 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16771#msg-16771 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16771#msg-16771 billsfan444 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:25:12 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16767#msg-16767 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16767#msg-16767

uhhh..... Well i can get the Homebrew Browser up when I open it with loadmii... something is telling me the Homebrew channel & browser are different things??
They are.

Thinking you want to give this a go.
1. Launch loadmii via bannerbomb
2. When loadmii loads, do not touch the wiimote until it powers off. (supposed to resolve a bug with input dying)
3. Power up the wiimote again, and navigate to the Hackmii Installer elf.
4. After that loads, try installing the homebrew channel from the Hackmii installer.
5. Reboot, then follow the instructions in the first reply.

kage, i just installed the homebrew channel using hackmii, so dis-regard what I just wrote. Now that I have the homebrew channel, do I have any use for bannerbomb anymore?
Nope. Unless you accidently lose your homebrew channel of course. Then you'll need to use Bannerbomb to reinstall it.]]> Arikado Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:19:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16764#msg-16764 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16764#msg-16764www.wiibrew.org] The Homebrew Browser, however, is an app (like LoadMii) that can be run by the The Homebrew Channel.]]> Arikado Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:18:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16763#msg-16763 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16763#msg-16763 billsfan444 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:18:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16759#msg-16759 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16759#msg-16759 billsfan444 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:09:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16757#msg-16757 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16757#msg-16757 Kage52124 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:06:53 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16756#msg-16756 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16756#msg-16756 billsfan444 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:05:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16755#msg-16755 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16755#msg-16755 Kage52124 Getting StartedFri, 15 May 2009 00:03:20 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16753#msg-16753 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16753#msg-16753
edit: wait, so I'm finding the boot.elf in the actual homebrew channel? where exactly am I supposed to find that there? I'm just seeing a big list of apps i can download... nothing from my sd card. Is the homebrew Browser the same thing as Homebrew Channel?]]> billsfan444 Getting StartedThu, 14 May 2009 23:53:42 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16736#msg-16736 Re: Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16736#msg-16736
Also, now that you have the homebrew channel, there's no need for bannerbomb. You can ditch it if you like.]]> Kage52124 Getting StartedThu, 14 May 2009 23:39:08 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16720#msg-16720 Installing HackMiihttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,16720,16720#msg-16720So I am currently using Bannerbomb on my Version 4.0 Wii, and I have the Homebrew channel installed.
