Im sure you guys out there are all wondering whats the deal with BootMii “any word on it?” Right? Well thats the case here as Bushing as posted an update on HackMii about BootMii.

Here it is straight from the horse.

Yes, Marcan has shifted his attention to things non-Wii related. I can hardly blame him; the only reason any of us do what we do is because we find it fun, so when it stops being fun — what’s the point? He’s still around, if you know where to look, and I hope that once we release BootMii, we’ll see some neat projects emerge from it.

Yes, BootMii is still alive; I still can’t promise a release date, but most of the code has been written and we’re now to the point of testing it out and adding some polish. It’s been installed on about 12 Wiis so far and nobody’s been bricked; I hope that we can release a “public beta” within the next couple of weeks. (In this case, “public beta” will mean “we’ve tested this out quite a bit and are fairly confident that you won’t regret trying it, but not everything is finished and we can’t make too many promises). I would expect those of you who have older Wiis (i.e. those who have a vulnerable boot1) to have an easier time installing it, but we intend to eventually add support for as many of your Wiis as possible.

    that ain’t no new dashboard mate, it’s the bootmii ‘preloader’ menu.

    you choose where to boot from using this menu.

    well if it loads before the wii dash and lets you choose to load wii, hbc, settings, or disc, then id say thats a pretty snazzy new dash.

    hey Richiekiller and anyone else who complains, if you dont like it you can leave. I am sorry but the staff here have other important things to deal with then netlife. We aren’t getting paid to do this. This is all coming out of our spare time.
