Ahh good. That's OK then.

Incorrect, SifJar. Just loaded up F-Zero GX, to make sure.
I remember bushing explaining the bootmii dev process, and the need to make bootmii work in a way that doesn't kill GC compatibility. I forget the specifics, but they found a way to do it, and it works here.

Wait...So if I install BootMii, I won't be able to play GameCube games? I have 3.3E v2. If I update to 4.0, I definetly wont be able to play GC games with BootMii installed, right? That sucks.

Great! Don't know any programming languages, thats why. Will try A.S.A.P!

Edit: Dunnit! only 5 secs tho. won't go lower at all. :-(

Cool, all you have to do to make yourself autoboot either HBC or the System Menu us take out the # before the "AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU" line, and it will do it. The same applies to Bootdelay.

The # is put in place as a 'comment,' which is what programmers use when they want another programmer to understand what the code means, and when the code is compiled into a program, the compiler will skip those lines with # (or '//' in another programming language). So by you removing the #, you're telling Bootmii, "Hey pay attention HERE!"

Edit: Clarification and potentially added confusion.

hmm. I have the standard settings and I guess that it'd work if it's installed as Boot2. will try A.S.A.P!

EDIT: nope, still now working. This is my Settings file:

# BootMii config file

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=NTSC

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
#AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
#BOOTDELAY=2

I am CERTAIN this is Beta2 I installed, as it gave me the uninstall message for Bootmii/IOS

Great. Just tried autoboot timeout, STILL DOESN'T WORK! Does it have something to do with the fact Bootmii's only installed as IOS?

Yeah, I'd think so.

Oh, and MIOS shouldn't affect anything, as it's after Boot2. I think I have MIOS v5. I think that your method of downgrading BC might work as well. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Cheers!

I have BootMii as boot2 and I can confirm being able to play RE3. I'll note that I have v4 of MIOS though, so it may or may not affect what you're trying to diagnose.

Can you use AnyTitle deleter to delete your current BS and then use that same disk and just pop it in? Would that allow you to put the old version back on?

RIGHT THEN NOW TO TURN CAPS LOCK OFF! yay!
Hey, this is the second time i've corrected you innit? nevermind. I am going to use NUS downloader or try using trucha signer on my MK wii disc to get a older version of BC. that still doesn't solve the other problem though...
Anyone with Bootmii/Boot2 and GC games please try to play one!

Edit: installed old BC v2

Ah. You're right :)

Re: configuring bootmii & GC games

metroid_maniac — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:19:22 +0200

I KNOW! I WANT TO PLAY GCN GAMES BUT SINCE I HAVE THE BC WITH THE FAKESIGN FIX IT WILL NOT LOAD BOOTMII/BOOT2!!!
Boot0 ->Boot1 -> Boot2 -> Sysmenu & IOS -> BC ->Boot2 -> MIOS
________________________^^^^^^^________^^^ This changes clock speed, which Boot2 detects and loads MIOS
__________________________When you go on the Disc channel (built in to the sys menu) and load a GC game, it loads BC

see here?

The BC that came with 3.3 rejects fakesigned Boot2's since it goes:
Sysmenu -> BC -> Boot2 -> MIOS
I want the older version of BC so it doesn't reject a fakesigned Boot2 (Bootmii)

Wrong. Its the new boot1 not BC that rejects "fakesigned boot2s". Also, AFAIK, it goes:
Boot2 -> BC -> IOS ->System Menu -> MIOS (if called upon by gamecube mode starting)

1) thx, will try now
2 & 3) source: here. I think Bushing is right!

Edit: 1) when preparing SD for Beta2, it skipped settings file. Yay! fixed now after deleting settings file then prepping SD again
Edit2: changed ___ to here and changed edit no.1 (confusing

1) go into the bootmii.ini settings file and uncomment the autoboot=*** line (it's commented at the start of the line with a #), making whatever it says there to say autoboot=sys (I think, the instructions are inside the file too.
2) No it shouldn't
3) I know nothing of BC, but I don't know if that pathway is right...

EDIT: more details

Re: configuring bootmii & GC games

metroid_maniac — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 16:59:30 +0200

RIGHT:
The Autoboot on Bootmii is evil! olease explain to me how to do it!
AND
I want to know if Bootmii/boot2 interfiers with loading GC games (please confirm)
AND
The BC that came with 3.3 rejects fakesigned Boot2's since it goes:
Sysmenu -> BC -> Boot2 -> MIOS
I want the older version of BC so it doesn't reject a fakesigned Boot2 (Bootmii)

I'm lost, whats the point of this topic again? What are we trying to figure out here? Even the topic contradicts what your posts have said :S

Re: configuring bootmii & GC games

metroid_maniac — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:14:06 +0200

No, all my GC games are scratched so I am using my modded Gamecube to play them currently. I am going to buy them again when I know that I will be able to play them on my wii with bootmii as boot2.

Well, then no wonder you're having problems!

OK then. I only have backed up ones so I'll go out and buy the cheapest I can find!

You know, without the originals, they are not backups.

Try booting a GameCube game and come back.

Re: configuring bootmii & GC games

metroid_maniac — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 22:18:17 +0200

No, I mean when sysmenu sees GC game and loads it it goes:
Menu -> BC -> Boot2 -> MIOS (BC changes Clock speed, Boot2 detects it)
I have a new BC which rejects fakesigned Boot2's (it came with 3.3v1)
I want pre 3.3 BC

Also, the autoboot is EVIL! please can you give me a ready-made settings file (just in a code box) for AUTOBOOT=SYS MENU and TIMEOUT=2. pretty please?

(sorry for being unclear)

Is it just that you want to downgrade (just out of curiosity as downgrades are not supported).

More like a "certain downgrader" infamous with bricking wiis in an attempt to enable warez is not supported here.

Kage52124 — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 21:56:49 +0200

Bootmii doesn't load a disk, but I suppose it may in the future; for right now it only handles loading HBC, Wii System Menu, or the BootMii Backup program.

We all have some version of MIOS, what about it do you want to change? Is it just that you want to downgrade (just out of curiosity as downgrades are not supported).

Right I need to know how to configure bootmii with an autoboot to sys menu with a timeout of 2 secs and:

Does Bootmii boot2 work with GC games?
If not, can you make it work soon, as in one of the next releases?
I have the 3.3v1 BC and MIOS, can you make a downgrader or somthing like that to Pre-3.3 versions?
