Hardware Could this be a new exploit for the wii mini?

[ToaKohakkaNuva]

So, the other day I was thinking, wiimotes have storage in them to store miis, save data, and whatnot, but I noticed that the bluebomb exploit is quite difficult to pull off due to (obvious) reasons. So I was thinking that maybe if there was a way to mask the entirety of a modified version of the homebrew channel as one or more miis and have it be accessed through the mii channel. The modifications to the homebrew channel would be something like the inclusion of a usb loader from the getgo etc. So, could such a method be possible?

Wouldn't it then make much more sense, to just use the exploit, to start the HackMii installer? And from there on you could just install the HBC, etc.
The storage space on the WiiMote probably isn't very much, though.

yeah, that's the problem. this is where the other part comes in, if it's too big it would require 2 or more wiimotes. Making software to add the "miis" to the wiimote shouldn't be hard, and that's way easier than using a linux computer (assuming you even have one) to do it. It could technically just access an archive online and direct the already encrypted files into the wiimote. Another issue with that method is the fact that to access miis from the inside of wiimotes you have to move them one by one, so maybe we could maybe have hacked miis and one that's different and once all the miis are moved, then try to edit it. it could then allow you to download the hb channel. Or then again, there's always a save data exploit in brawl because it allowed for button configs to be saved to wiimotes. But alas, this idea is merely a dream. I'm not much of a software guy, more of a console hardware guy

Yeah, I can already see all the actual programmers think to themselfes "gee, another great idea by somebody who has no actual knowledge of the ins and outs of it all."

Isn't the button config just saved on the console locally?

To my knowledge, no. I saw on some forum that you could only save button configs to wiimotes in brawl making that very useful for storage exploits. Since the wiimote connect to computers via bluetooth and would be essentially a drag/drop file, I don't see why a method using such an exploit would need to be alienated my any computer os making it much easier to pull off as compared to bluebomb.
