You might be among the millions and millions of people that own a Nintendo Wii. What you might not have known is that these consoles can be modified or reconfigured to perform tasks they weren’t originally created to accomplish. Mod Wii, is the term you would use if your system has been modified.
Do not take this article as a statement that all Wii owners should mod out their consoles. In fact, I believe that you have to be pretty dedicated to the cause to attempt it. There are a lot of risks involved in the process. The first being the destruction of your console by adding malicious content without knowing and secondly, should you send it to Nintendo, they will likely learn of your modification and void your warranty.
However, if you know what you are doing, then you could benefit from such a mod on your console. The best thing to do is to really read into the details of the modification step by step and take your time, otherwise you can refer to the dangers up above.
You will find several popular modifications if you look into it deeply enough. There are two that take the top spots over anything else, and so that’s why they get listed and nothing else does. The first is an emulator that allows you to play Wii (or any other former Nintendo console) game by burning the file to a blank DVD+R and inserting it as a regular gaming disc.
The second common modification is a player that allows you to watch burned and regular DVDs (not blu ray) on your Wii. This is handy for people that have to run a DVD player and a Wii into the same television. This will cut down on the wire tangle behind your set up, and allow you to use your console with full functionality like the other two competitive consoles on the market right now.
Those are the two most popular Wii console modifications, but by no means the only ones. If nothing else, remember this: if you do not know exactly what you are doing in terms of a modification, don’t do it. You risk ruining your system for nothing.
