Hi All,
I have done a lot of reading on this subject and it seems that the reason why it is not possible to install BootMii as Boot2 on the newest Wiiz is due to the following:
Boot1 is checking a Boot2 Hashes against a fixed value before doing anything with it. Therefore any editing of Boot2 will Brick the Wii...
Well, I don't know what type of hash is used in this case SHA1, CRC32?
But, something certain is: every hash algorithm has colisions...
i.e.: each hash calculated corespond to more than 1 file.

It is therefore possible to modify the Boot2 as long you add extra characters at the end of it (or somewhere where it won't bother the system) to make the file hashes mach what Boot1 is looking for...

I know, this would take a very long time...But we only have to do it once !!!

Any thought?
