Instructions

As stated earlier, if you have BootMii installed as boot2, it will launch every time you start your console. If you would like to change this, you can use the app BootMii Config Editor. Or, you can edit sd:/bootmii/bootmii.ini manually.

Two files will have been created on the root of your SD Card: nand.bin and keys.bin. nand.bin is your Wii’s internal memory, while keys.bin are your console’s keys.

        • Installing updates from another region could have no effect at best, but result in a Korean Kii/Error 003 brick at worst. To prevent this from happening if you bought a pre-owned Wii, run SysCheck to verify the original region of your console. If it is Korean, be EXTREMELY careful with applying system updates to your console, and consider seeking support for further assistance.

            For the BlueBomb, str2hax, or FlashHax exploits, you do not need an SD card to hack your Wii; it is highly recommended to grab one anyway for homebrew and other tasks.

            General Storage Guidelines

            When considering buying or using an SD card or USB device, it is worth considering the things that you will be using either storage medium for. Different uses can take up varying amounts of space, some common examples of which are shown below:

              -
            • Wii Backups: The largest Wii games (dual-layer DVD) are up to sizes of 9GB, more normal games are closer to sizes of 4GB or lower. The average user for a Wii backup device would probably want 128GB or more of space.

            • GameCube Backups: The largest GameCube games reach sizes of up to 1.3GB. ISO sizes are normally this size regardless of the game, but can be considerably lower if NKIT is used as a format instead. The average user for a GameCube backup device would probably want 64GB or more of space.
            • -
            • General Emulation: There are a wide variety of emulators available on the Wii. Because the size of different game ROMs differ dramatically, the average user for an emulation drive would probably want 32GB or more of space.

            • General Homebrew: For homebrew, the average user would want 2GB or more of space.
            • NAND Backups: For backing up your NAND with BootMii, the average user would need a minimum of 512MB of free space, but sizes of 1GB or more are recommended.
            • Bare minimum, exploit only: The minimum amount of space to run an SD-card compatible exploit on a Wii is 128MB.
