Could we make a sticky about the Hackmii Installer with lots of bold, italicized, underlined, and colorized (don't know how to do that :-P) as an FAQ for how to get started, addressing the basics about how to run all this stuff? Or would it not be worth the hassle?
Whats wrong with the current FAQ?

HBC installed from 256 MB SD BootMii loads to screen then wiimote turns off.... anyone know what that is? am i supposed to be able to acess the other options that i san see? also i need to make a nand backup.
Wii remotes don't work in the BootMii menu, use either a gamecube controller or the power, reset, and eject buttons on the Wii.

Can that be backed up to my 2GB Wii SD Card? and if so do i have to have the boot.elf and private folder on that SD also?
2GB is more than enough space for a backup. You just need the BootMii files so it can load on startup.]]> bg4545 Getting StartedSat, 20 Jun 2009 06:28:30 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21389#msg-21389 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21389#msg-21389

My Wii card loads the files up but freezes with all versions ... maybe my Wii Card is faulty?

thanx everybody for your input]]> JuggaloLee Getting StartedSat, 20 Jun 2009 05:23:21 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21380#msg-21380 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21380#msg-21380

The Homebrew Channel: Can be installed
DVDX: Can be installed
BootMii: Can only be installed as an IOS
the installed boot1 version prevents a boot2 version install (-2)

>continue

UMMM

EDIT: i installed Homebrew and was sucessful.... installed DVDX was sucessful....
is there anyway to get boot2? or is the fact that my Wii is so new i can only install as IOS?]]> JuggaloLee Getting StartedSat, 20 Jun 2009 00:56:55 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21282#msg-21282 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21282#msg-21282
EDIT: Also, don't even consider downgrading at this point. I can almost guarantee you would brick your wii.]]> Kage52124 Getting StartedFri, 19 Jun 2009 09:32:21 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21269#msg-21269 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21269#msg-21269 Zack Getting StartedFri, 19 Jun 2009 05:46:23 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21255#msg-21255 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21255#msg-21255 JuggaloLee Getting StartedFri, 19 Jun 2009 03:35:51 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21247#msg-21247 Re: Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21247#msg-21247 with

put both on your SD card, rename the .dol/.elf file in the hackmii installer to boot.dol/.elf (whichever one it was originally) and go to your channel option from save data management in your wii and hit yes. This *should* work, as it worked for me.

If not, i really don't know maybe someone else could be of help :)]]> ozzadar Getting StartedFri, 19 Jun 2009 02:40:48 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21239#msg-21239 Freezing Boot.elfhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,21239,21239#msg-21239
