Hi there, since I have the Super Mario Red Wii (2010), I cannot install BootMii2, only BootMii1, so I can't use the feature to boot in the HBC when turning on the Wii. Is there any other way to boot in the HBC without using BootMii2?


Thank you

There is Priiloader, but it's a poorly coded modification of preloader (which I think was fairly decent) that is quite buggy from what I hear, and I cannot therefore recommend it. It replaces a vital part of the Wii's system software, and so if that goes wrong, which it has been known to, your Wii can be left in a state of completely not working, and be very hard to fix. I'd advise just leaving your Wii as it is and running HBC once it has started. I know that can be a bit of a hassle, but it's the safest option without BootMii/boot2.

Thanks for the reply, guess I'll just keeping hitting that HBC then.

There's nothing wrong with Priiloader. I use it all the time, and it works just fine to boot directly into HBC. The only thing you might need is the hacks_hash.ini file.

Just because you use it doesn't mean there is nothing wrong with it. Most of the more reputable devs in the Wii "scene" frown upon Priiloader due to it bricking a large number of Wiis thanks to a load of buggy code. Which was then "fixed" with illegal stolen code.
