![]() ![]() Unfortunately, like infomercials, there’s a catch. While I won’t explain boot2 entirely in detail here, as I’ve done it in other posts, let’s just say that it’s hard to damage boot2 unless you’re intentionally trying to, which means that BootMii as boot2 will almost always work. It places itself at the earliest part of the Wii boot process that can be modified, boot2. BootMii installed as boot2 - This is the holy grail of Wii brick protection.Because it piggybacks off the System Menu, there are still situations when even this protection will fail, and it can easily be wiped out by a System Update. While it’s has fair protection, and definitely is highly recommended to install, it’s still not perfect. It essentially piggybacks off of the System Menu, and can still load in certain situations where the System Menu isn’t able to load. Priiloader - Priiloader is better than BootMii installed as an IOS.The only real point of having BootMii as IOS is to make a NAND dump. The reason why it doesn’t really serve as brick protection is that there’s no real way to access it in a bricked state without using other software to do so. BootMii as IOS is basically installed into an extra stub IOS on the Wii and can allow you to dump your NAND and flash the NAND. BootMii installed as an IOS - This really isn’t protection, but I’m including it anyway.The Wii has a few different options for brick protection: Brick protection is software that can run even in a bricked state, and it can allow you to undo whatever damage was done, in order to repair the brick. Nowadays, brick protection is common with almost every device when there is a risk of a brick, and the Wii is no exception. When it comes to the Wii, there are many types of bricks, and each type varies in cause, symptoms, and reparability. They got that name because in a true bricked state, the device in question is about as useful as an actual brick. The reason why bricks are called bricks is actually quite simple. Also, the main cause of bricks is failed attempts at modding a device. They can be caused by software or hardware, but it’s most commonly caused by software. Common symptoms include black screens, error messages, and other weird behavior.īricks can have many causes. Simply put, a brick in the technology world is something that causes all or a part of a device to stop working properly. Background - What is a brick and why is it called a brick? ¶ The Wii is definitely not immune to bricks, and in this post I’ll explain pretty much everything there is to be known about Wii bricks. But the mortar that connects these bricks is functionality, or a lack thereof. Low level bricks, semi bricks, full bricks, banner bricks, soft bricks, hard bricks, fire bricks, and many more. ![]()
