News from the hackmii team:
We haven’t made an update on BootMii for a while but never fear, things are progressing. Part of what takes so long is figuring out what the edge cases are that could cause things to fail and in this regard we need your help!
We’ve developed a BootMii Compatibility Checker that we need as many people as possible to run on their Wii. This little utility will check your boot1 against a list of known versions and tell us if you have one that we haven’t seen. We’ve recently seen a few boot1 versions floating around that break BootMii so with your help we’re compiling a list of safe boot1’s to use in our installer so that you get a better quality BootMii.
Current stats: 187 reports of “normal” (compatible) boot1 (2cdd…), 4 reports of “variant 1″ (4a7c…) and 15 reports of what I was calling the “Korean boot1″ (f01e…). The latter will not be compatible with BootMii, and it looks like it’s not just Korean Wiis (or, as noted in the comments below, they could be region-changed Korean Wiis). Console IDs greater than 100000000 decimal appear to be using the new “Korean” boot1, and the rest are using either the normal one or the variant.
What are you waiting for? Download and run Checker (http://static.hackmii.com/bootmii_check.elf)and do your part for BootMii.
