boot2 BootMii not Working? 2007 Wii.

Dear Coders...

I have a question.

I have a 2007 Wii with 4.3U System Menu, and the Wii is NOT Softmodded. The Homebrew Channel is installed along with boot2 BootMii. But, whenever I try to load BootMii at startup, it brings me to the "Press A To Continue" screen. I verified that I had all the files needed, but it still refuses to work.

I am not sure what I did wrong, if I did anything wrong. Mabye because there is a boot.elf file always on my SD for Letterbomb that cancels out the ppcboot.elf? Or do I need to edit the the config?

Correct me if I'm in the incorrect section, please.

Thank You!

The ppcboot.elf and armboot.bin should be in the "bootmii" folder on your SD card.

They are.

Also... when I boot my Wii w/o the SD card I get the two flashes.

Thank you!

Do you have the bootmii.ini file?
It looks like this:

# BootMii config file

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=NTSC

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
BOOTDELAY=5

Make sure the BOOTDELAY is not 0 and not #commented out.

A bit different, I'll bold and underline the different sections, but here it is:

---

# BootMii config file

# Video mode, possible settings:
# NTSC, PAL50, PAL60, PROGRESSIVE
VIDEO=NTSC

# Autoboot, possible settings:
# SYSMENU, HBC
#AUTOBOOT=SYSMENU

# Autoboot delay, in seconds:
# Default is 5
#BOOTDELAY=5

I think the script (most likely Java, I've worked with it a bit) blocks the autoboot and bootdelay.

I'll change (remove the bold) it and try again, but I'll keep a backup of it JIC.

Thanks Again...

Sorry for the duplicate posts, i didn't fully read them. Anyways, they were commented out. I'll try it w/o them being commented out.

If it doesn't work after changing that then it is a problem with the SD card. Try a different one if you can.
