Homebrew Another noob that needs help

[Anfrax]

I'm doing something wrong... First, I open Homebrew Channel in all its bubbly goodness. I press the Home button on the controller, then scroll down to the "Launch Bootmii" button. After I press A, it takes me to the next screen with four icons, but my controller disconnects and stays that way. No matter what I do, there seems to be no obvious answer: neither pressing 1+2 nor physically holding down the sync buttons seems to have any effect. The controller tries and tries, but simply cannot seem to find the console.
Please tell me someone else has had (and fixed) this problem.

Also, as a side note, the guides I've been using talk about an "apps" folder. Could someone tell me the exact directory I should create this folder in?

You gotta use the gamecube controller for the Bootmii menu for now.
Hopefully in an update in the future the wiimote will be supported.

you dont have to use a gamecube remote just use the power button to scroll the options and use reset to select them hope this helped
