For example, if you press Reset on the Wii Menu, the normal startup way will be booted.
If you press Reset on the HBC, it will go straight to the HBC without loading the Wii menu.Good luck with BootMii!Homebrew Channel (HBC)
You have either launched the HBC with BootMii, or the Wii Menu.As by now, the screen is empty (no homebrew). Don't worry, your installation of the HBC isn't corrupt.
