Whenever I try to launch a gamecube backup, whether it be via the disk channel, or through the gamecube launcher through the homebrew channel, the Wii restarts and then pops up bootmii.
The game then does not boot.

Is there a way to fix this? Am I missing something obvious?

You probably have a Wii with the new BC.

Remember: when you laucnh a GC game (throught the System Menu, I dunno about launchers but I assume they do the same), BC is launched then it launches BOOT2 which launch MIOS which boot the game.

BOOT0->BOOT1->BOOT2->IOS->SystemMenu->BC->BOOT2->MIOS->Game

When you installed BootMii, it patches Boot2 so IF the signature bug has been fixed in BC, it will fail at lauching BOOT2, just like new BOOT1 ...



EDIT: wait, seems quite weird that BootMii would break GC compatibility, they probably knew about that and fixed it somehow... Do original GC games work ?
