BootMii v0.3 beta has now been released and can be downloaded from here: http://bootmii.org/

• HackMii Installer (v0.3):
  • Saner selection of IOSs for the installer itself and the installed HBC
  • BootMii will now install on Wiis with bad blocks in the boot2 area
  • Fixed some hangs when rebooting Starlet

• BootMii Beta 3 (v1.0):
  • Improved the SD card compability
  • Increased the backup/restore speed for some SD cards, but decreased it for others
  • Fix GPIO input for all Wiis
  • Wavebird support
  • Fixed a silly bug where NAND backups were left as 0 byte files
  • Keys are now saved to SD as /bootmii/keys.bin too

There doesn’t appear to be any changes on the surface requiring an immediate update to the BootMii Configuration Editor.  Once I’ve installed this, I’ll know better and post more information

Without BootMii – I wouldn’t have started looking into Wii Homebrew, so I owe all the guys and girls there a massive thanks 🙂

To start with, there will be a v2.5 of BootMii Configuration Editor – I have an updated Finnish translation thanks to JaniN, and there’s a good possibility of a polish translation also being done. I might introduce a few things in v2.5 – just as I’d hate to see an update just for the languages. If I do these will be small changes though – nothing major!

So now I’m thinking… what next… 😕

I’m starting to tidy up/package the code into reusable bits now and will open source these, beyond that…..I’m open to suggestion – so if you have any  ideas – post away

It’s definitely time to start something new!

Automatic update is now working.

The Update check and download URL are fully configurable from the settings file, so if for some reason, my host dies, or should someone choose, the update can be fetched from an alternative URL.

Further changes which are currently under way – checking on the argc and argv parameters in main to determine if the path to the DOL has been passed. If not, then relative addressing as used previously is still used. This will probably need a hard coded path to make it work with other loaders (other than the HBC). This will be a future change.

v2.4 is already in the works, and currently has on-line automatic updating in place.
When a new version is released following v2.4, the application will download (if you choose to) the new version of the application.

I did have the idea of making it download all the files excluding the settings file, but this would be a waste of bandwidth so I’m going to add zip support also and make it download and unzip the full release.

Given libwiiupdate seems to be dead, and I’ve had to pretty much write most of this from scratch, I might consider wrapping this up into a reusable library.
