EDIT: This can be marked SOLVED now. Thanks.
Hello all, I'm new here but not new to console modding or computers but I have a couple of questions about a special use case.
My wife and I use a standard Wii almost solely for the purpose of WiiFit Plus and I'm looking for a way to quickly and simply boot it up from SD when powering it on, skipping all the menus and such, and I'm SO CLOSE but not quite there and need to figure out what I'm missing.
So far I'm able to do one of two things: I can boot up to the DVD and that works fine but seems really slow, maybe even slower than just the normal non-modded method, or I'm able to boot to the "Start Button" screen of the game from SD card, but not loading the game directly.
I'll try to layout what I've done so far
To run from WBFS on SD card:
Installed HBC with the Letterbomb exploit.
Installed Bootmi and did NAND backup
Installed Priiloader and turned on the auto-press A at boot
Installed d2x cIOS Installer and installed the required files.
Installed Homebrew Browser
Installed WiiIFlow to be able to run games from SD card (could not figure out how to get USB Loader GX to do this.)
Loaded WBFS folder and file on SD card.
Used WiiGSC on PC to create a WAD file of the game and saved it to the SD card.
Installed Wii Mod Lite and used it to add the WAD to the home screen.
Used PriiLoader to "install" the WAD and changed the boot up to "INSTALLED."
This all works to a point, but on boot I'm greeted with the Wii Flow box cover for the game which I still have to select and hit START to run it.
My second option is running it from the disc in the drive:
Installed HBC with the Letterbomb exploit.
Installed Bootmi and did NAND backup
Installed Priiloader and turned on the auto-press A at boot
Installed d2x cIOS Installer and installed the required files.
Installed Homebrew Browser
Installed MinimalLauncher which will simply auto boot any disc in the drive.
Used PriiLoader to install MinimaLauncher and run the disc on bootup.
Now, this actually DOES work, it will (eventually) boot into the "be careful where you are swinging the Wiimote" screen. If you press A it will clear through it, but will clear after about 20 seconds on it's own. Right now with this setup it takes roughly 30 seconds to get from power on to warning screen, which isn't terrible but I feel could be better from SD. I'd also like to reduce the wear on the DVD-drive if I can.
So, what can I do to setup #1 that will allow me to boot directly into the game from SD without having to hit the start button to load it?
Thanks
