![]() The next thing we’ll do is install BootMii, so click “BootMii…” to continue.īootMii must be installed as IOS (not to be confused with Apple’s mobile operating system iOS), which just means you’re going to have to use HBC to launch it. Notice now there’s a new option to “uninstall the Homebrew Channel,” in case you want to undo your changes. Click “Continue” to return to the main menu. It won’t take long and once finished, you will see “SUCCESS” in green. The hack we’re using is called Letterbomb, and while it sounds scary and unpleasant, once you see how it works you’ll understand why. The next step has to happen on a PC, so we’ll step away from the Wii to do that. Now, you can back out to the System Menu. You will need this to perform the actual hack. Click right to Wii System Settings 2, then click “Internet -> Console Information” and copy the MAC address. Wait, don’t back out of the system settings yet, we need one more thing. You see the version of our system is 4.3U (U=United States, E=Europe, J=Japan, K=Korea), so we’re good to go.

So when you open a channel, all it’s going to do is give you extended functionality above and beyond just playing games. ![]() So what is the Homebrew Channel? It’s simply what it sounds like, a channel, much like the Netflix or Nintendo eShop. It’s really hard to brick a Wii this way, but it could happen.
