HackMii Installer is the tool used to install the [[Homebrew Channel Wii|Homebrew Channel]] and [[BootMii Wii|BootMii]] (including mini and CEIL1NG_CAT). It used to support the installation of [[DVDX Wii|DVDX]] as well, but that was removed due to the Homebrew channel taking its features. A more in-depth guide can be found at [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_setup Homebrew setup]. '''Read the disclaimer:''' In the very unlikely case that your Wii gets bricked by the installer, this will let you know where you stand in regards to Team Twiizers.''' ==User guide== ===Notes=== The HackMii Installer will automatically install BootMii as IOS upon startup. Starting with v0.7 it relies on it and there is no way to prevent this step. If you don't want to have BootMii as IOS installed, you can uninstall it after e.g. installing The Homebrew Channel. When doing so, the HackMii Installer will automatically exit, because it can't (un)install anything anymore without it. If you have previously installed The Homebrew Channel, you can use it to launch the HackMii Installer - use the boot.elf binary in this case. This is the recommended way for all users. If you have previously installed BootMii as boot2, you can also use the SD browser of the BootMii shell to launch the MINI version - use the bootmini.elf binary in this case. If you don't yet have any means to launch homebrew applications, [http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_setup follow the instructions] to get started. ===How to use=== When the HackMii Installer is launched, a scam warning should appear. If you have followed these steps correctly you should not have paid for any software. While this screen is being shown, the installer will perform tests on the Wii, checking whether each component can be installed. At the latest version, Homebrew channel can be installed on all Wiis, while BootMii can only be fully installed on some Wiis. Once the installer exits, you will be dumped to the Homebrew channel if it is present, otherwise to the System menu. The menu for BootMii contains multiple options. The "Prepare the SD card" button simply loads the necessary files onto the SD card, useful for preparing the SD card for another Wii or if the old files were lost. There are also two buttons for installing BootMii; one for installing as boot2, and one as IOS, the former being unavailable on some Wiis. To learn more about the difference, visit BootMii. The lack of an uninstall button for BootMii as boot2 may cause some to believe that BootMii as boot2 cannot be uninstalled. This is not the case; an uninstall button will appear once BootMii is installed. The uninstall button for BootMii as IOS is a bug, as previous versions of the HackMii Installer always installed BootMii as IOS on launch, and removed it on quit unless the Install BootMii as IOS button was pressed, as that was necessary for its exploit. If HackMii Installer refuse to install on some Wiis due to safety checks fail, check the FAQs at http://bootmii.org/faq/ and http://hbc.hackmii.com/faq/ first. ==Media== '''Using the HackMii Installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR4zcvFnfbE ModMii]) <br> <youtube>gR4zcvFnfbE</youtube> == Changelog == {| class="wikitable" !
