The HackMii Installer is the tool used to install the Homebrew Channel Wii and Bootmii Wii (including mini and CEIL1NG_CAT). It used to support the installation of Dvdx Wii as well, but that was removed due to the Homebrew channel taking its features.

Scam Warning

Numerous clones of the HackMii Installer exist, often coming in paid bundles. The HackMii Installer is free software; if you paid for it, you were scammed, and should demand your money back and report the scam site. Visit https://hbc.hackmii.com/scam/ for more info.

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.

Using the HackMii Installer to install the Homebrew Channel (HBC) and Bootmii

How to Homebrew Your Nintendo Wii | Internet & SD Card Methods!

Using a previous unsigned code-loading method

If you already have a homebrew loader capable of running unsigned code (Homebrew Channel Wii, Homebrewfilter Wii, etc.), you can use it to load the HackMii Installer.

1. Download the HackMii Installer.
2. Extract the HackMii Installer to find the boot.elf
3. Place the boot.elf file in the location of your SD card that the loader specifies.
4. Boot the loader that will work for your System Menu.
5. Wait for the Hackmii Installer to run tests on your Wii
6. Press Wiimote Button 1 when told to continue installing HBC and BootMii Wii.

The installation should be automatic from this point on, and your Wii will reboot.

Using BootMii

If you already have BootMii Wii installed, then you can use the SD loader to load the HackMii Installer.

1. Download the HackMii Installer.
2. Extract the HackMii Installer and copy boot.elf and bootmini.elf to your SD card.
3. Load BootMii.
4. Navigate to the SD card button and press it.
5. Move through the filesystem to reach bootmini.elf.
6. Open bootmini.elf. A proper IOS should now be launched, and the Wiimote can now connect.

Usage

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 Wii can be installed on all Wiis, while Bootmii Wii 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.

BootMii installation

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 Wii.

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.
