Emulation / Re: Homebrew: Is it worth it?

BootMii is the homebrew that's able to make backups of your flash memory and other important information. It installs itself on boot2 or IOS inside your system.
boot2 is basically the thing inside your Wii that starts up your system. It loads a specific IOS file depending on what instructions it gets and then your system starts. ^^;
The whole process begins with boot0, which sends you to boot1 and later sends you to boot2. With BootMii, you can gain control of boot2 so you can do many things, like remove the health message screen, directly load the homebrew channel without entering the Wii channel screen and so on. But the most important part of boot2 and bootmii is that you can make backups of your important data, just in case you accidentily break your system or lose valuable data, BootMii lets you install everything you used to have. It's very handy and installing BootMii as boot2 is the best thing you could possibly do. You can also transfer ALL your data (including Shopping Channel data) into another Wii system if your last system breaks, but you should do it on a system that's the same region as the last one, and you have to install BootMii on the other Wii too. You start BootMii by holding down the reset button while powering on the system. A Gamecube controller is recommended (but might not be necessary) to use the BootMii software.
