So, I've had my Wii homebrewed for lots of years, and I was recently updating some stuff (HBC from 1.1.0 to 1.1.4, Priiloader from 0.4 to 0.10 etc.). Then I found out that my BootMii is at v1.2, but idk how to update it, do I need to download HackMii Installer or just find some updated .zip file? Thanks in advance :D

Simply run again the HackMii Installer (you can either use an exploit again, or just add it to the HBC - no icon or meta needed - and run it from there) and install BootMii :)

There's no need to update it if it works. If you have BootMii installed as boot2 every update comes with a small brick risk, since you are not only overwriting the thing that is protecting you from bricks but also an important part of the boot process.

Bootmii itself can be updated by running the prepare sd card function from the hackmii installer (or by downloading the bootmii sd files, but the hosted files aren't the latest version, but new enough that it doesn't really matter in practice). No need to actually install anything

Thank you all for the responses! So, I checked to see if BootMii is installed as boot2, but it seems like my Wii can't do that and only ISO BootMii is there, so now that it's safer to do it I decided to update using HackMii Installer and it worked! (I know that almost nothing changed, but I like having stuff updated) Thx to you all again! :yaywii:

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency

    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.

    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.

    @Veho, didn't need any news. Just going to the store and buying groceries is a constant reminder.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A reminder that all corporations reported record profits these last few years?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Reminded that every single price gouging law was blocked by republicans because "muh gubmint overreach"?

    Won't somebody please think of the corporations?!?!
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    The problem with X party blocked X bill that would have prevented X is that yes the bill probably would have worked great, buuuttt they put XYZDCBG in said bill as an attempt to sneak things in that tend to be completely unrelated to the original bills intent. It sucks because if they would just do a single thing they could probably get something done...
