How to Soft Mod a Wii

If you want to play home-brew apps or burned discs on your Nintendo Wii console, it will need to be modified. Luckily, modding the Wii can be done through a technique known as "soft modding," meaning you can make all the necessary changes without having to open or modify your Wii console's hardware. Once the software has been installed, you will be free to play backup copies of Wii games on the system.
