ok i went to homebrew channel and pressed the home button and i found the bootmii icon. so what does this do?? it has 4 options (wii, home brew channel, sd card, options).

eta- my wii remote wont work in this menu??
eta- it froze lol
No, architectural limitations prevent the Wiimote from working in BootMii. Use a gamecube controller or the Power and Reset buttons on the Wii instead. So no, it didn't freeze, you just didnt know what you were doing. But dont worry about it :P

The Wii option sends you to the wii system menu.
The homebrew channel option sends you to the homebrew channel.
The SD Card button lets you boot apps built with MINI.
The last option, which is referred to as "Backup/Restore Center" (AFAIK at least) lets you make a backup of your Wii's NAND.]]> Arikado Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 21:36:30 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19372#msg-19372 Re: total newb here need help with gameshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19372#msg-19372

Uhh,if it worked, then when you turn off your wii and then turn it back on instead of booting to the system menu, it will boot to a new menu called bootmii. From there you can choose to launch the homebrew channel or the system menu. Try turning off your wii and then turning it back on to see if it boots to bootmii instead the system menu. Tell me your results. :D
No, if it's BootMii IOS, then you must load it from the home menu in the Homebrew Channel]]> bg4545 Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 06:11:57 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19361#msg-19361 Re: total newb here need help with gameshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19361#msg-19361 WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 06:09:07 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19360#msg-19360 Re: total newb here need help with gameshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19360#msg-19360

eta:- then third thing i didnt install was the bootmii. but i try to install it and i dont think it installs. the homebrew channel has an uninstall underneath it and so does the dvdx but bootmii doesnt. it says its success at installing it but i dono lol any help with that part too???

If you have a newer wii, then bootmii needs to be installed as an IOS. If you have an older wii(mid-2008), then you need to install bootmii as boot2. Just install it according to how old your wii is.]]> WaxyPumpkin72 Getting StartedFri, 05 Jun 2009 05:31:00 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19357#msg-19357 Re: total newb here need help with gameshttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,19354,19357#msg-19357
