So, I've had my Wii homebrewed for lots of years, and I was recently updating some stuff (HBC from 1.1.0 to 1.1.4, Priiloader from 0.4 to 0.10 etc.). Then I found out that my BootMii is at v1.2, but idk how to update it, do I need to download HackMii Installer or just find some updated .zip file? Thanks in advance :D

Simply run again the HackMii Installer (you can either use an exploit again, or just add it to the HBC - no icon or meta needed - and run it from there) and install BootMii :)

There's no need to update it if it works. If you have BootMii installed as boot2 every update comes with a small brick risk, since you are not only overwriting the thing that is protecting you from bricks but also an important part of the boot process.

Bootmii itself can be updated by running the prepare sd card function from the hackmii installer (or by downloading the bootmii sd files, but the hosted files aren't the latest version, but new enough that it doesn't really matter in practice). No need to actually install anything

Thank you all for the responses! So, I checked to see if BootMii is installed as boot2, but it seems like my Wii can't do that and only ISO BootMii is there, so now that it's safer to do it I decided to update using HackMii Installer and it worked! (I know that almost nothing changed, but I like having stuff updated) Thx to you all again! :yaywii:
