#Gecko os boot.elf update

YouвЂ™d have to deliberately brick your Wii to kill BootMii, excluding one particular type of update by Nintendo (weвЂ™ll get to that later). By being such an early hook, BootMii-Core is also the most brick-resistant piece of software that can be written for the Wii. A mere fraction of a second after you hit the power button on your console, BootMii-Core will already be running and youвЂ™ll have the ability to do anything at that point.

What it does is give us full control of the console as early in the boot process as possible. Instead, today IвЂ™ll talk about the part of BootMii that was demoed in the video: BootMii-Core.Д«ootMii-Core is a very important piece of BootMii, ideologically speaking. WeвЂ™re still working on designing and building most of it, so donвЂ™t expect detailed explanations about the still-to-be-written pieces. Now, IвЂ™ve said that BootMii is a platform. This might become handy if, for example, Nintendo decides to start banning homebrewers from online games. By keeping BootMii separate from the existing system for the most part, we can switch it on and off at will. While we will be taking control of the system, we want to accomplish that while minimizing any changes to the existing system. Now weвЂ™ll have control and NintendoвЂ™s software will have to go through us to do anything.Д«efore going into details though, I must mention another subtle but important detail about how weвЂ™ve decided to go about designing BootMii.

Instead of being users of the system, doomed to hacking our ways from the inside, weвЂ™re going to turn the tables around. Of course, we donвЂ™t expect the latter to happen (we have / will find more holes), but nonetheless itвЂ™s still unnerving to a degree.Д«ootMii вЂ“ letвЂ™s call it the BootMii platform вЂ“ is about changing that.

And at any time Nintendo can come and update the entire system to patch all the holes. Starfall gets rid of some annoyances of the system menu, but itвЂ™s an ugly low-level filesystem hack that will get erased with any Nintendo update. PatchMii was developed to get rid of some of the restrictions of IOS вЂ“ but itвЂ™s not particularly practical, and only really works for one IOS at a time. Now, there have been some hacks around the system, of course. This isnвЂ™t a bad thing (it provides many bits of code that we donвЂ™t have to write), but it also means we have to follow its rules. Every piece of Wii Homebrew currently depends on NintendoвЂ™s IOS. We can avoid updates and try to understand the existing system, but weвЂ™re still dependent on it. Sure, we can run our own stuff, but ultimately weвЂ™re users of the system вЂ“ everything we do has to go through NintendoвЂ™s software. Up until now, weвЂ™ve had little control over what software our Wiis truly run. The first thing that you need to realize is that BootMii isnвЂ™t a single application or hack вЂ“ itвЂ™s a platform for hacks. The hardware in the video is merely for debugging. Oh, and by the way, before I bore you and you stop reading this, at least note that BootMii is entirely software-based. I think itвЂ™s time to answer some questions about what it really is, what it does, and how it will help you. A few days ago I posted a video of something that weвЂ™ve come to call BootMii.
