# BootMii loader
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This repository contains the public release of the source code for
|
||
|
|
the BootMii stub loader.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Included portions:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ELF loader stub
|
||
|
|
* BootMii SD loader proper
|
||
|
|
* Reset stub
|
||
|
|
* mini (submodule)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not included:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* boot2-style-wad packaging stuff
|
||
|
|
* PyWii (see hbc)
|
||
|
|
* UI/PPC side (CE1LING_CAT)
|
||
|
|
* Installer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the code in this repository may differ from the source code used to
|
||
|
|
build the official version of BootMii.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This code is released with no warranty, and has only been build tested.
|
||
|
|
If you release this to anyone but yourself without extensive testing, you are an
|
||
|
|
irresponsible person and we will forever hate you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build instructions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need armeb-eabi cross compilers. Same build setup as
|
||
|
|
[mini](https://github.com/fail0verflow/mini). See
|
||
|
|
[bootmii-utils](https://github.com/fail0verflow/bootmii-utils) for some outdated
|
||
|
|
toolchain build scripts. Type `make` to compile. Good luck.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output is at `bootmii.bin`, which is the main `armboot.bin` style executable
|
||
|
|
for BootMii-as-IOS, with a dummy reset stub as payload. Installation as boot2
|
||
|
|
would replace the ELF payload with the original boot2 instead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Seriously
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do NOT release this to users unless you've read
|
||
|
|
[this](https://marcan.st/2011/01/safe-hacking/) and spent months testing
|
||
|
|
hardware variations and building an installer that cross checks every step
|
||
|
|
including boot1 simulation prior to actually committing to NAND. There's a
|
||
|
|
reason we didn't brick any Wiis with this stuff. We're releasing this because
|
||
|
|
it's been over a decade and some people are asking for it to experiment with
|
||
|
|
devkits and other weird stuff, not because anyone should try using this on their
|
||
|
|
Wii.
