  • PAL50
  • PAL60
  • PROGRESSIVE
  • auto boots to the selected option after the delay time
  • OFF (stay in BootMii Menu)
  • SYSTEM MENU

  • boot delay time (This requires BootMii beta 2 to have any effect
  • 0 - Don't show BootMii Screen
  • 1 - Show BootMii for 1 Second
  • 2 - Show BootMii for 2 Seconds
  • 3 - Show BootMii for 3 Seconds

ChangeLog

Version 2.0

  • Settings Dialog to change editor settings. This can be accessed by pressing the ‘HOME’ button. The settings are persisted to the langauges file, so if you change the language/skin, whenever you load BootMii Configuration Editor, your selected options will be the default
  • Internationalisation Supported (Currently English & Spanish Langauges available). Further langauges can be added by editing the bce_messages.xml file. See the readme.txt for details of how to do this
Please be careful if you do edit the XML file.  A corrupt/non well-formed XML file 
will result in  a Crash of the Wii and will dump the stack to the screen.
Ensure you take a backup of the original  before attempting to make any custom changes
Currently you can only use characters in the standard ASCII character set, 
e.g. [0-9] [a-z] [A-Z] Some puncation characters may also cause issue
It is recommended that you do not use characters with any accents/umlauts/etc 
as this will cause an issue

If you do create a translation for a new language please let me know and I’ll then include it in the next release!

  • Skins/Colour Change. The application can now be presented in a number of look & feels. Initially the following skins are available:
    • Windows - Windows Installer/DOS like look/feel with a blue background and grey windows
    • Console - Black background, white text with other colour text to highlight options/selections
    • Inverse Console - White background, black text with other colour text to highlight options/selections

Custom Skins can be added by editing the bce_messages.xml file. See the readme.txt for instructions on how to do this.

  • Online version Checking. When the Editor is loaded, it performs a check to see if the version running is the latest available version. If a newer version is available, then a message is shown for a few seconds during startup to indicate this. This online checking can be disabled if you do not wish BootMii Configuration Editor to check for a new version or do not have the wii networked. If you wish to disable this check, see the instructions in the readme.txt
Please be careful if you do edit the XML file.  A corrupt/non well-formed XML 
file will result in a Crash of the Wii and will dump the stack to the screen.  
Ensure you take a backup of the original before attempting to make any custom changes.

Version 1.1

  • Resolved a bug that caused a code dump if the bootmii directory did not exist. The bootmii directory is checked for existence on startup and the user is prevent from making changes if the directory does not exist
  • Improved Look & Feel.

Version 1.0

  • Added OFF option to autoboot. Setting Autoboot to off will disable the delay timer setting in the configuration editor, as this serves no purpose with autoboot disabled.
