Relaunching via Priiloader ​

Requirements ​

  • a Wii with Priiloader (or Preloader) installed
  • An SD card or USB drive formatted to FAT32/MS-DOS
  • HackMii Installer v1.2

Preloader and older versions of Priiloader do not seem to support SDHC (>2GB) cards.

If Press (1) to continue does not show up after about 30 seconds, downloading HackMii Installer v1.0 may help.

Relaunching via BootMii ​
