Chances are you’ve been looking for the safest way to mod a Wii. In your research thus far, you may have determined that going with a mod chip is not the right move. The reason is that you have to go into your console to remove components. Then install the mod chip and do some soldering during the installation process. If you mess up in any way, you lose the $300 cost of your console. All you are left with is a locked system and a voided warranty.
The safest way to do this is with a soft mod. That is a software modification that will allow you to enjoy your Wii more. No matter what anyone tells you, this soft mod is the first step needed to unlock the power within a Wii. Only an Unleashed Wii has the ability to carry out the 6 benefits listed below.
Play legal backup games. Wii games cost anywhere from $30 to $60 and can get scratched or damaged and end up costing you hundreds of dollars lost. Disc cleaners used on DVDs do not work well on Wii discs. You can create legal backup sets that you can play instead of your actual discs to prevent them from being damaged.
Play homebrew games and apps. There are around 2000 free games that you can choose to download and play. Games like Wii Earth and Pong. Use the Homebrew Channel app to load homebrew apps without using Twilight Hack. You can access this channel from the Wii Menu.
Plays DVDs and MP3s. You can turn your console into a powerful media center. DVD playback and music of these popular formats: MP3, AVI, MP4, etc.
Play imported games. Imported games are usually locked by region codes. A software modded Wii will allow you to play games from all regions.
Play old favorites. Unlock the power of playing games from other consoles like the N64, SNES, and Sega Genesis. This includes games like Pac Man, Super Mario, and Sonic.
Play without a game disc. You can plug a USB hard drive into a USB slot on your Wii and then store your games on the drive. The next time you want to play a game, you won’t need the disc. Just go to your hard drive and select the game from the many you now have stored that you want to play.
Now that you’ve figured out the safest way to mod a Wii. Don’t use that mod chip or buy a pre-modded Wii. You have noticed the benefits of playing your downloaded games, creating your own backup games, being able to play all imported games region coded. The last and most important feature you want to look for is software that allows custom Wii themes to help you replace the boring standard Wii themes. Not all homebrew soft mod solutions out there come with this feature. The ones you may be tempted to get can corrupt or crash your system.
