After months of anticipation, Team Twiizers has finally released the first public beta of BootMii. This Wiibrew app provides added functionality, safety, and convenience for the Nintendo Wii.

Bushing at their HackMii blog further explains the release:

We are proud to present HackMii Installer v0.1. This is one executable that can install the Homebrew Channel and DVDX on any Wii, with any System Menu version. It can be used with ComexÂ’s BannerBomb on System Menu 4.0, or on our Twilight Hack on earlier versions, or through the Homebrew Channel or any other method to run homebrew software on your Wii.

For many people, that will be enough. For the intrepid or foolish, HackMii Installer v0.1 can install BootMii Beta 1 on your Wii, either in front of boot2 or as an IOS. We have put a lot of hard work into this software and believe it to be safe, but we have only tested it on 10 Wiis. We have written it so that it does extensive sanity checking before installing; as a result, the first beta will probably refuse to install on some Wiis (instead of running the risk of a broken install).

Since this is the first beta of the software, you may encounter some bugs but don’t worry, Team Twiizers insists that the software is safe and stable. More info about the release can be found the at HackMii Blog.
