Questions

Why does it look like dos?

it looks like dos, kinda scares me, --Aujakev 16:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I based the look and feel on the linux debian installer! You can set it how you like now in v2.0+ :) Pembo 08:32, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Source code

Please, please give me the source so i would make a skin fot it. I want to make a bootmii-like skin with gui using the wiimote and everything... i'll sure to keep all the stuff you put in already... (eli.sherer[at]gmail.com)--Elisherer 07:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm planning on releasing the source code once I've tidied it up (a lot!). I've been using this as an exercise in Wii programming as it's the first app I've done for the wii, and my first C program in a long time, so the source isn't quite as clean as it should be ;) Pembo 09:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Boot Delay

I hope the next version to allow more than 5 seconds for the "boot delay" option (I use 10). --Sca.nab 17:13, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

In v2.1 you can set the boot delay with values from 0 through to 10 seconds Pembo 21:31, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Forcing the Video Mode?

When you change the video mode configuration will this change be permanent everywhere? eg. When playing an NTSC Wii game on a PAL Wii (Set to PAL60 in the system menu) using GeckoOS usually the game will switch the video mode to NTSC when booting - would the BootMii Configuration Editor prevent this from happening and keep the video setting at PAL60 at all times?

Requests

Current ideas:

• Instantaneous changing of language/skin as you cycle through the options. (expected v2.3) Done in v2.3 Pembo 22:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
• Automatic Update Done in v2.4 19:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
• Add some sounds (E.g. when a dialog pops up)
• Update of INI file rather than re-write.
• Graphical Library (using wiimote/pointer)

User ideas:

• Restore default options--Wilsoff 02:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
• Copy necessary bootmi files and config files from one SD card to another. I set up bootmii with one SD card, and I'd quite like to have my other SD also start BootMii on startup--Wilsoff 02:02, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
• a graphic user interface suggestion: bootmiice-eli.zip --Elisherer 15:08, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

thanks - will take a look :) Pembo 20:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

• Ability to auto launch a .dol/.elf so I can autoboot into GeckoOS --Wii_Manic 20:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
• When checking for new versions at start, if you don't have your Wii hooked up to the internet you have to a while (have a quicker check, so you can get to the program). -TPAINROXX/BKW 23:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC) Can disable check in v2.4 Pembo 19:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
• Add a menu item called settings, or say somewhere to press home for settings--Wilsoff 07:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
• Check for SD card lock, currently if the lock is on it still says saved successfully, but it hasn't--Wilsoff 07:33, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
