i installed bootmii as boot1 and cant switch to boot2

But, don’t worry there is a walk through available to speed things along, and you actually can’t ever die in a LEGO game. Time consuming because you have to play through the first section until it allows you to save game, before you can use the vulnerability. Expensive, because you have to buy a (imho stupid) game. This is actually the most expensive and time intensive part of the entire process. The Indiana Pwns was created by Team Twiizers. The Indiana Pwns is achieved by playing a hacked game save for LEGO Indiana Jones which executes a homebrew application from an external SD card. The Indiana Pwns is a safe way to enable homebrew on a Wii without hardware modification. Investigating the alternatives for hacking the Wii revealed that of all of the alternatives mentioned, there was only one that would work for my device, on System version 4.3. Whilst I’ve been using Ubuntu for most of my home computers, the initial target for this build is debian Lenny.įinding the first vulnerability – Indiana Pwns – Using LEGO Indiana Jones The destination for this process is to have a GNU/Linux operating system, including a windowing desktop, running on the Wii. It is Australian released, which means that it is a European version in terms of firmware. Unfortunately, I’ve upgraded the System Software at every opportunity, so it is currently running the current System version 4.3. But I digress…Īs background, my Wii was purchased in 2006 and therefore has the oldest boot1 and boot2 code. I’ve never purchased a game for it and, given Sony’s decision to force me to choose between the OtherOS feature or the PlayStation Network, I will NEVER buy anything from Sony again. I’ve also purchased a PS3, which I purchased second hand when I heard that the PS3slim would no longer support OtherOS. Because of its utility as a games machine, until now I had restrained myself from hacking about on the Wii, so not to spoil the user experience. It was a great decision back then, which I’ve never regretted. We can shoot, fish, bowl, and bat, all because of the Wiimote. Over the past four years we’ve collected a shelf full of Wii games, all of which are fun because of the Wiimote. Whilst I could appreciate the PS3 for its ability to play Blueray (at that time still in competition with DVD-HD), and to be a Linux compute device, I really couldn’t see anyone at our home sitting in front of the lounge screen button mashing on a controller. I remember considering the use case for a console in my home. When the Wii and PS3 were just released, back in 2006, I had one on pre-order and picked it up just before Christmas. I’m writing this down so that the steps I’ve taken to get a full debian Lenny GNU/Linux machine onto my Wii don’t get forgotten in the haze of my memory.
