BootMii Configuration Editor

Posted on9 Comments

UPDATE – BootMii Configuraiton Editor v2.4 has been released, see here





Update:
BootMii Configuration Editor has been updated to v1.0
Please see: Here for additional details.




My First Wii Homebrew application!

The BootMii Configuration Editor allows you to modify the BootMii ini file on the SD card to change the settings, without having to bring the SD card over to the PC and edit it.

You can change the following options:

  • Video – NSTC/PAL50/PAL60/PROGRESSIVE
  • Autoboot – System Menu / Homebrew Channel
  • Boot Delay – Time in Seconds from 0 to 5 for how long the BootMii screen shows before autobooting.

The application is console based and controlled via the wiimote d-pad.  Use UP/DOWN to move through menu items, left and right to change the options, and the A button to select the save/discard option.

Pressing HOME will also quit discarding any changes.

Thanks to all the people who made BootMii (http://www.bootmii.org) and Wii Homebrew possible, and thanks also to teknecal over at http://www.codemii.com who’s tutorials have been instrumental in getting me going with Wii Homebrew programming!


NSLU2 Debian Installed

Posted on

The installer completed successfully after around 5 hours.

I’m now going through the painful process of getting everything back up and running, but I’m making notes as I go and I’ll post these here when I get the chance. There’s loads of good debian NSLU2 information out there – some has been invaluable!

NSLU2 Hard Drive Crash

Posted on

My main 500GB hard drive that was plugged into the slug decided to stop working last week  causing my slug to freeze and crash on every reboot.

I’ve purchased a new hard disk and have begun installing Debian onto the NSLU2 – I’ll keep you posted 🙂

Life after the slug

Posted on

I was wondering how I’d cope if my slug suddenly gave up the go, and have been considering some alternatives for the past couple of months.

The best of these so far seems to be to get an Asus EEE Box, remove windows and replace with a linux distro, probably Ubuntu or Gentoo though I’ve also been considering whether or not I’d install a console only flavour of unix and carry on using it as a server only.

The EEE-Box…

Eee-Box

is low powered, reasonably priced and isn’t too large – seems a viable alternative when my Slug finally goes.  Hopefully it’s got some life left just yet, though I do make it work hard 😉
