Hello I just need a quick clarification as I am very new at this .. Before I start I hope that my post is not transgressing any rules here, but if I unwittingly have can the moderator please delete the post. So here goes fingers crossed. I have successfully installed bootmii 2 onto my SD card and can now boot the Wii leaving the SD card in the SD slot. I just need to know that the following is OK .. when I select "the homebrew channel" circled in RED jpg attached, nothing at all happens but if I select the WIii button then I get the Wii channels after selecting A on the Wii remote .. is it OK to accept that "the homebrew channel" RED circle is basically a redundant selection/button ? Quick Summarry of my question 1) Wii = Button works I can boot the Wii 2) the homebrew channel = After selecting it just stays black ( nothing on the screen ) 3) SD = Menu, i.e it works I see black text on a white background menu. 4) Gears = Allows you to backup or restore the Wii from the SD card .. it works.

Once I have installed the homebrew channel, will it be a matter of just copying those app folders back to the root of my SD ? no matter what happens I am going to re install the homebrew channel again as I have clearly gone wrong some where.]]> corrie Getting StartedFri, 16 Oct 2015 17:49:46 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74973#msg-74973 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74973#msg-74973please.hackmii.com]]]> JjStAr Getting StartedFri, 16 Oct 2015 12:15:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74972#msg-74972 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74972#msg-74972
Running the HackMii_Installer again (I get the same thing) no option (1) ?? Somewhere along the line I have done something wrong but it does not seem to have caused me major damage as the homebrew channel works once the Wii has booted it’s just that I cannot select the homebrew channel from the option (first post and jpg) from my initial post.

It looks like I may well have to live with it … incidentally the new downloaded bootmii files folder have the same dated files as the old folder I replaced which is very odd, it could be that my HackMii_Installer is causing the problem.]]> corrie Getting StartedFri, 16 Oct 2015 11:58:53 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74970#msg-74970 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74970#msg-74970 tueidj Getting StartedFri, 16 Oct 2015 01:28:41 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74968#msg-74968 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74968#msg-74968
I will get this right just bear with me

The screen shots are examples of what I found on the net just to visualise what I saw when I went through the install
I have already used the Hackmii installer latest version .. the top jpg was an example of what I went through as I completed the process, I can see why you thought I had installed version 0.2 as that is what the jpg says ( this was meant to be an example ) just to show what I had been through.

I have an SD backup and within the apps folder is a folder called HackMii installer ( 8 files ) all dated 08/12/2012.
Within the root of the SD I have a bootmii folder ( containing 2 files dated 28/07/2010 armboot.bin & ppcboot.elf )
Finally within the root of the SD card I have a boot.elf and a bootmii.elf file both dated 08/12/2012

I also have lots of other folders in the ROOT of the SD card but I was really concentrating on the subject I raised.

Again just to point out that I can use the homebrew channel with or without the SD card

I hope this helps]]> corrie Getting StartedThu, 15 Oct 2015 18:48:39 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74967#msg-74967 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74967#msg-74967 tueidj Getting StartedThu, 15 Oct 2015 17:51:12 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74966#msg-74966 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?24,74962,74966#msg-74966I did say that I was new at this and I am clearly showing my lack of knowledge here.
What I have done is install HackMii installer ( jpg ) attached called Bootmii
And that allows Boot2 to be installed (jpg attached) but please correct me if I have that wrong as well.
Yes I have the homebrew channel up and running so I assume that I need not worry as it seems as though my question is irrelevant .

So here goes fingers crossed. I have successfully installed bootmii 2 onto my SD card and can now boot the Wii leaving the SD card in the SD slot.

I just need to know that the following is OK .. when I select "the homebrew channel" circled in RED jpg attached, nothing at all happens but if I select the WIii button then I get the Wii channels after selecting A on the Wii remote .. is it OK to accept that "the homebrew channel" RED circle is basically a redundant selection/button ?


Quick Summarry of my question


1) Wii = Button works I can boot the Wii

2) the homebrew channel = After selecting it just stays black ( nothing on the screen )

3) SD = Menu, i.e it works I see black text on a white background menu.

4) Gears = Allows you to backup or restore the Wii from the SD card .. it works.


Thank you for looking
