It was developed alongside [[BootMii]] as a replaceable [[Starlet]] executable, however, it was made mostly redundant by the [[Homebrew Channel]] and AHBPROT. There are still a few features that cannot be achieved that way, such as arbitrary ARM execution without exploits or NAND modification.

Note that this cannot execute at the same time as IOS; you can only have one or the other executing at any point in time. Switching back and forth between the two is left as an exercise for the developer.

Since the discovery of the AHBPROT register, Mini enables direct PPC access to all devices. It is often used together with [[Wii Linux]] to enable full hardware functionality and performance.
