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.

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.
