A common search hit I keep getting is something along the lines of “BootMii Wii Remote not working”

To try and help all the people who end up here from a search like that…

BootMii does not work with a Wiimote.

You can control it with a gamecube controller, or the buttons on the console itself (power/reset/eject) but not a wiimote.

It’s documented on the hackmii website as follows:
“Due to architectural limitations, we can’t access the WiiMote. Use a GC controller or the Power/Reset buttons.
