This tool lets you change the way wii images boot.
BootMe is a small command line program that will simply hex edit a backup ISO and make it autoboot. So there is no need to go to the Wii's disk channel to boot the game.
 
As far as we know there are 2 methods to boot a game.
 
*Method 1 is R (manual boot)
*Method 2 is 0 (autoboot)
 
Autoboot patches the ISO so the game loads directly without having to go to the disc


channel, thus booting faster.
Just run this program to make the ISO auto-bootable. Burn it to DVD. When you insert the game in your console it will now autoboot and the game will start. Makes for loading your game quicker; You also have an option to make the game manual boot again if you wish.


This tool basically patches the first byte in a game to your likings.
