Question about Theme issues

I've made a couple themes for the HBC before, and they came out fine. Problem is that now I've made one that seems to cause issues. When I change to this new theme, then quit the HBC, then return to the HBC, the theme has reverted back to the dark water theme. When I delete the save for the HBC, then try to apply the theme, then quit the HBC, the save file is not created. This doesn't happen with my previous themes, and I don't know what I may have done differently, if anything. What could I check for that?

Im completely new at this

If you could, please give me a specific step by step guide on how to even GET the HackMII installer to work. I looked at the website and stuff but the instructions make it seem like you should already understand what to do. Since I only know how to do certain things like format the SD card or move a file to the SD card Im at a loss. I downloaded the file onto my computer. I unzipped it thinking thats what I should have done. Then I moved the file folder into the SD card just as it was. :/ what am I missing here? What am I doing wrong? It isnt working.

I dont think you should be trying this... If you cant even look at the readme or follow the guide...

Interesting.. I've been doing it right so far but for some reason when I open win32 wiiload file it flashes then closes automatically. :D Thankfully I have fast screenshotting ability! It says in the black dialog box

Wiiload v0.5 coded by dhewg, (something)wiide efnet

Set the environment variable WIILOAD to a valid destination.

examples:

       usbgecko mode:
               set WIILOAD=COM4
       tcp mode:
               set WIILOAD=tcp:wii
               set WIILOAD=tcp:(shows IP address)

usage:

        F:\hackmii_installer_v0.8\wiiload\win32\wiiload.exe <filename> <application arguments>

Im so lost as to what it means. I have followed the guide thus far though.

Black Screen

When ever I try to boot up BootMii, the screen goes black and the disk drive on the Wii starts to blink.

You don't have BootMii files on your SD card. Use the HackMii installer to "prepare SD card for BootMii". Even more, you should read this. Tux 17:06, 1 June 2011 (CEST)
