You'll need some files in SD in order to load BootMii from HBC.

First things first: Update your console.

You'll get problems with compatibility with a 4.1 console.
Don't worry about anything else, just make sure you're on 4.3.
The BootMii files are created for when you install it. But yeah, make sure your system is on 4.3 though.

Looking at your SysCheck report, you're on boot2 v4 which means you cannot install BootMii as boot2 but only as an IOS. But if you got brick protection installed you shouldn't worry about anything.
Yes, I see that. How can I last check about Brick protection are working/enable??
Sorry for my continuous doubt, but having Priloader existing, but not realy complete working, it send my in Panic before triing an a online update version...

Power on the system whilst holding the 'RESET' button. If the Priiloader menu appears, then you've got it already installed.

If you delete them accidentally (or for being dumb such as myself) you can download the required files to boot bootmii from Wii guide.
I know because I'm stupid and deleted my bootmii folder 😀

Ok, the menu exist, but as write, it give me error in Hacks,ini file both in SD and in NAND...
Having HB Channel enable, is it not more safety if I try to reinstall priloader correctly, before upgrade to 4.3??

Yes, reinstall Priiloader and that should work.

So, about my actual situation, you suggest me to:

1) Upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3E, not using online update, but using the guide avaible following your get-starting link in post #5.
You don't need to update as there's no benefit in doing so. Also there's a slight brick risk if something goes wrong. So make a nand backup with BootMii before updating just in case.
Also i highly recommended updating your Wii with ModMii instead.
P.s. Launching Priloader, as write previously, I received error about hacks.ini, so I thing it's necessary to reinstall it, do you agree?
See which version of Priiloader you have, and update it if it's not the latest.

Update complete without problems.
is it normal that i remain HB Channel avaible in Wii menu??
What do you mean? Is the HBC still on the Wii Menu? If not then you will have to re-install it.

    Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
