Download [download#19#nohits]

There is one modification to this release over the previous version (0.1b)

Autoboot, can be set to OFF/SYSMENU or HBC.
Setting Autoboot to off will disable the delay timer setting in the configuration editor, as this serves no purpose with autoboot disabled.

Setting autoboot to off means that the Wii will sit in the bootmii screen until you select the system menu or homebrew channel option from the bootmii menu using either a gamecube controller, or the power/reset buttons on the front of the console.

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 – Off / System Menu / Homebrew Channel
  • Boot Delay – Time in Seconds from 0 to 5 for how long the BootMii screen shows before autobooting. (If autoboot is set to off Boot Delay is disabled and cannot be set.)

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.

Windows XP Suspend/Hibernate USB Hub issues

On waking from a suspend or hibernate, Windows XP doesn’t seem to redetect/activate my USB hub, so all the devices that are plugged into it aren’t available until I unplug/plug it in again to allow the hub to be redetected. This is a pain for me, as I use media center and it wakes from hibernate to record TV programs via my DVB TV Tuner.

To work around this issue, I’ve got a script below which I place in my windows start menu/startup folder. This script listens for the suspend/hibernate/wake notifications from windows and disables/enables my USB Hub correctly, as well as renewing my IP address from the router.

If you want to try this, you can download it from here:

Though you’ll need to figure out your device ID for your hub and modify a few of the files. There is very brief instructions in the zip.
