是public beta1， 可以安装BootMii public beta 1，Homebrew Channel 1.0.2和DVDx
刚刚看到，还没试过。

建议对wii hacking完全没有概念的XD再等等，这个版本只在10台wii上测试过，因为已经泄露到了GBAtemp，所以TT才作为public beta发布了。如果作为IOS安装的话还问题不大（变砖可能非常小），如果作为boot2安装的话目前还是可能有一定风险的！

BootMii beta 1
May 13th, 2009 by bushing

We are proud to present HackMii Installer v0.1.  This is one executable that can install the Homebrew Channel and DVDX on any Wii, with any System Menu version.  It can be used with Comex’s BannerBomb on System Menu 4.0, or on our Twilight Hack on earlier versions, or through the Homebrew Channel or any other method to run homebrew software on your Wii.

For many people, that will be enough.  For the intrepid or foolish, HackMii Installer v0.1 can install BootMii Beta 1 on your Wii, either in front of boot2 or as an IOS.  We have put a lot of hard work into this software and believe it to be safe, but we have only tested it on 10 Wiis. ?We have written it so that it does extensive sanity checking before installing; as a result, the first beta will probably refuse to install on some Wiis (instead of running the risk of a broken install).

Ideally, we would find another 50-100 beta testers and have them test it out before releasing it to the world at large.  Realistically, that doesn’t work; it’d land on gbafail in less time than it took us to compile it. ?Besides, we’re not trying to make this a release for “the kool kids”; we want the people out there who can help us test and improve it to try it so we can make it universally compatible and safe.

So, we’ll do it like this.  We think BootMii is safe to install, but we can’t promise there are no bugs in the installer.  Once you do get it installed, many features are incomplete and most users won’t even know why they bothered to risk their console.  For those who like to tinker, you’ll find an easy-to-use NAND backup/restore suite, a way to autoboot the HBC, and eventually a way to run arbitrary ARM or PPC code.  You will also find bugs — none of which should harm your Wii, but they might be frustrating.  Help us fix them.

To be perfectly clear — anyone can use this to install the Homebrew Channel and DVDX on their Wii.  Most people can safely install BootMii/IOS on their Wii, but it’s not very useful.  Many people can install BootMii/boot2, but an unforeseen bug could harm your Wii.

Please do not install BootMii unless you have been following our blog for  a while and know what IOS is, what boot1 and boot2 are, etc.  If you’re curious, you can try anyway, but if you can’t figure out how to work this thing you should probably wait for a future beta. ?We really don’t want to see epic threads with “tips” on installing — this thing is supposed to be self-explanatory, and if it won’t install for you, that’s a bug we need to fix.

Known issues:

BootMii may refuse to install on some Wiis.  We ran into various errors in our sanity checks on about half of the consoles we tried; we have fixed all of those bugs, but there are probably more.  The installer will write out an “installer.log” to SD; please email that log to beta_logs@bootmii.org so that we can add support for your Wii in the next beta.
We wrote MINI (our low-level replacement for IOS) from scratch; the SD code has some compatibility issues.  Most cards (SD and SDHC) work; some will not be recognized at all when you try to boot from them (you’ll know this by the fact that your drive slot will flash).  If this happens and you have a USBGecko, please capture the output and email it to the address above.
We intend to eventually release source code for MINI and a sample PowerPC project than uses it, but those releases are not ready yet.  This is a binary only release; your patience is appreciated.
The installer is available for download from http://bootmii.org.  Please report bugs at http://bugs.hackmii.com.  You can discuss this release in a moderated forum on http://forum.wiibrew.org, but we will only permit posts that we deem to be constructive in our efforts to improve our code.

Thanks go out to Nuke for donating the USBGeckos we used for development, and Stan64 for donating a few to our testers.

FAQs: (will be updated periodically)
Q: Why won’t my wiimote sync in the BootMii menu?

A: Due to architectural limitations, we can’t access the WiiMote. Use a GC controller or the Power/Reset buttons. See also http://bugs.hackmii.com/index.php?do=details&task_id=21

Q: Why do I have all of these bad blocks in my NAND?

A: The NAND Flash chips used in the Wii come with up to 80 bad blocks from the factory. This is normal.

安装需要GC手柄或者使用power和reset键操作。

安装程序将自动判断boot1是否支持bootmii/boot2安装模式。如果你的boot1是新版的，安装程序将拒绝boot2模式安装，只能按IOS模式安装。

安装后会在SD卡上添加以下内容：
/bootmii ? ? ? ?
/bootmii/armboot.bin
/bootmii/ppcboot.elf ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
/bootmii/bootmii.ini
/installer.log ?
如果你试用了bootmii，请将生成的install.log email至beta_logs@bootmii.org，以便TT进一步完善bootmii。  

安装bootmii后可以通过bootmii备份Nand（在SD卡上生成一个nand.bin，SD卡需要为FAT32格式，否则bootmii会提示格式化），以备系统文件损害时通过bootmii恢复（bootmii/boot2安装模式）。

关于卸载，目前这个版本并没有包括卸载功能，不过后续版本将添加此功能。

Release Notes:

This software has received only limited testing.  We consider it to be stable (and safe),
but it still contains bugs and has only been tested on a handful of Wiis.  It does not
contain many features that will be useful or interesting to most Wii owners, so we
recommend that only expert users or developers install it.  If you encounter any bugs,
please provide feedback so we may fix them in the next release.

When possible, we have erred on the side of caution, so the installer may refuse to install
on some Wiis if safety checks fail.  If this happens, please send us the install.log file
(described below), so we can correct the problem.

* Initial release

I. Packing list
The HackMii installer comes as one main executable; in addition to installing BootMii into
your NAND (either inside boot2 or as IOS254), it will create several files on your SD card:

/bootmii
/bootmii/armboot.bin - Starlet-resident code (MINI) -- this loads ppcboot.elf
/bootmii/ppcboot.elf - BootMii shell - this is the GUI that is displayed
? ? ? ? ? ? ??when BootMii runs.
/bootmii/bootmii.ini - BootMii shell configuration file.  See below
/installer.log ? ? - installation log.  After you install BootMii,
? ? ? ? ? ? ??please email the contents of this file to
? ? ? ? ? ? ??beta_logs@bootmii.org so we can track any issues that emerge.

After installation, the file /nand.bin may be created; see below.

II. Installation notes
You have two options to install BootMii.  Each carries its pros and cons, and not all options
are available for all Wiis. Specifically:

* BootMii/boot2:  This mode will install BootMii into 2 blank blocks in the boot2 area of your
? ? ? ? ? ?Wii.  It will take over the function of the normal boot2.  If no SD card is
? ? ? ? ? ?detected or armboot.bin is not found on the SD card, the drive slot LED will
? ? ? ? ? ?flash briefly and the normal system menu will boot.

? ? ??Pros:  Independant of system menu and the rest of NAND flash.  Can boot even if the
? ? ? ? ? ?rest of the system is completely corrupted. Allows for safe backup / restore
? ? ? ? ? ?of NAND flash from SD card.  Allows direct boot of Homebrew Channel, or other
? ? ? ? ? ?programs.

? ? ??Cons:  Relies on a vulnerability in boot1 that was fixed mid-2008; if your Wii is
? ? ? ? ? ?newer than this, the HackMii Installer will not allow you to install this
? ? ? ? ? ?form of BootMii.  Installation is complicated and slightly risky; we have
? ? ? ? ? ?tested it and believe it to be safe, but a power failure at the wrong time
? ? ? ? ? ?during installation could leave your system unusable.

* BootMii/IOS: ?This mode will install BootMii into your NAND filesystem as an IOS (IOS254).
? ? ? ? ??It behaves identically to BootMii/boot2, but you must launch it from a special
? ? ? ? ??program (the Installer, Homebrew Channel, or your own code.)

? ? ??Pros:  Universal compatibility with all Wiis. ?Allows booting arbitrary code
? ? ? ? ? ?on ARM / PPC.  Supports speedy backup of NAND to SD.  Very safe to install.

? ? ??Cons:  Easily deletable or overwritten by a system update. ?NAND restore is
? ? ? ? ? ?technically possible, but not safe because you cannot boot to BootMii/IOS
? ? ? ? ? ?in case the contents of your NAND flash are corrupted.

Uninstallation: ?In either case, uninstallation is straightforward, but not yet implemented for
? ? ? ? ? ?Beta 1.  We do not expect many people to need to manually uninstall, but if you
? ? ? ? ? ?have a dire need we may be able to help you out.  Future releases will come
? ? ? ? ? ?with a simple uninstall option in the installer.

I. NAND Backup/Restore

The NAND Backup/Restore code takes some shortcuts to improve backup and restore speed.  Upon
backup, if your card is not "properly formatted", then you will be prompted for permission to
reformat the card.  It will be reformatted as FAT32 and given the volume "backupmii", and a
nand.bin file will be created in the root directory of the card.  We suggest that you make a
backup of your Wii's NAND Flash, label the SD card and store it in a safe place in case you ever
need to recover from it.

II. Configuration file

BootMii will look for a configuration file at /bootmii/bootmii.ini.
It expects to see a file in the following form:

VIDEO=NTSC (or PAL50/PAL60/PROGRESSIVE)
AUTOBOOT=HBC (or SYSMENU)

More options may be added in the future.

III. SD Menu

We have included a simple launcher for PPC ELF files on the SD card.  Please note that any
binary that gets loaded will be running under mini, not under IOS.  libogc binaries will
not run; we are investigating options for a future release.

NEW FONCTION IN HOMEBREW CHANNEL
it search your fat 32 partition on your hard drive to find apps
so no more need of the SD , it let you use it for Wiiware so more place on your Wii

gbafail上有人带来的HBC1.02新功能，能直接读取硬盘上fat32分区的程序，无需SD卡

146711860

看了一下官網的BootMii介紹

作用是可以備份NAND

就算磚了也可以回復

同時可以提供更快捷的方式進入HBC或是其他程序

是不是這樣?

history77

觉得HBC应该支持WBFS分区更好

wiiwaker

Just tested out the Nand Restore by deleting the system menu and its IOS, have to say it works great, Fully restored
I have a Nand Backup and Bootmii installed has boot2 just so i'm clear

nand restore功能正常，下面我就等着老任更新了，您可一定要更新IOS36呀~~

需要注意这句“BootMii may refuse to install on some Wiis.  ”
有些wii上会拒绝安装，大概这些就是当初bushing他们测试的一些新版boot1，包括那些LU64xxx？
