Bootmii as an IOS. Does it harm the IOS in any way?

Just really a quick n00bish question. I installed bootmii as an IOS by mistake then uninstalled it...nothing should be harmed right?

Nope. Bootmii only installs to IOS 254. nothing else should be harmed.

It wouldnt have been made if it could harm stuff. Team Twiizers dont do that. Their stuff is safe. Especially BootMii. In actual fact, I'd say boot2 is more dangerous. Installing as IOS, the IOS it installs to isnt used, so if something foes wrong, no worries. boot2 installation, if something goes wrong, you're bricked. but dont let that put you off, stuff wont go wrong unless you do it during a thunder storm or something (i.e. lose power during installation).

Yeah, TT make it failsafe. They put sanity checks in everything.

Yea I installed bootmii as boot2 it works fine. Its just at first I downloaded it as an IOS by mistake then deleted it. I get worried when messing with IOS

Get worried when your messing with IOS ending 0. they are used by the Menu.

Thanks. I dont need any cIOS really right?

Definetly not. Is is only used for piracy and, well, thats it really. Occasionally used to allow re-enabling trucha bug after an update (if cIOS is installed before update, it can be used to restore trucha bug after it), but that itself is in turn used for piracy. There's StartPatch, but its not really necessary for most people. Other than that, there are no legitimate uses for cIOS.

Yeah I was trying to find a way to skip the health check when you start up the Wii without it screwing anything up. I saw Start Patch and I need a cIOS for that. So I decided against it

cIOS wont screw stuff up, it just isnt necessary, and depending on the installation method CAN be illegal. If you use tona's PatchMii cIOS, found on WiiBrew, its totally legal and fine. And should let StartPatch work fine too. Its cIOScorp thats screws up your Wii, and its also completely illegal, because its just a set of WADs and a batch installer, so its redistributing copyrighted Nintendo code. Even the now available uninstaller is illegal.

can bootmii be ibstalled as boot and ios??

Yes ive done it

both at the same time?
to be able to run bootmii by powering on the wii and being able to access it via hbc

Well i uninstalled it back on beta 1 but yeah it worked on both

ok thx topgun

No problem.... but having both really doesnt have a purpose from what i see

There's absoulutley no reason you couldnt have both, they're installed to completely different places.

ok thx
