What You Need To Know To Softmod Your Wii

By Chris Smart


Using a software program to do a Softmod for Wii is something that many owners of this popular gaming system are doing. By learning how to softwood Wii you will unlock the capabilities of the console and be able to use it to play DVD's, imported games, and music. You will also be able to play homebrew and backup games. You cannot do these things without the mod.

Unlocking your Wii will open it up to a world of new games and fun. Any Wii game can be backed up and then played on your modded Wii. The region on a game will no longer matter, you will have the ability to play them all. You can dust off your old games from your old Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles and play them right from the Wii.

You can look on the Internet for one of the many Wii's that are for sale, already modded. If you do, you will find out exactly how outrageous the prices are! For the cost of most of them you can easily buy a new Wii and soft mod it yourself. Some of the overpriced Wii's that will be shipped to you already modded are even used models. Why pay for a console that is used? You might opt to purchase a mod chip that you can install into your Wii. The installation of the chip is a hard mod that will void your warranty. It will also cost you more then you need to pay to soft mod your system.

When you learn how to softwood Wii, you will not have to pay a lot. You can find the software you need to do it for free on the Internet. Your only expense is the cost of an SD card. Do your research and save your money to spend on something you need more.

You will need to begin by buying an SD card. You can find them pretty cheap at most electronic stores or department stores that carry electronics. You will need one to download some software from the Internet to add to your Wii. The softmod will be installed to the SD card.

Next, find the software to download and install to your Wii SD card. You can find it by doing a quick search on the Internet. This software will allow you to unlock the Wii without rendering it useless. If you do not follow the correct steps, this can happen.

After you download the software to the SD card, find the SD slot on the Wii and insert the card into your console. Once you turn on your console, the menu for the software should pop right up. Following the on-screen directions, start the software. Just about by itself, it will install automatically. In about 20 minutes or so, you will be the proud owner of an unlocked Wii.

Learning to do a softmod for Wii is a simple process that can be done in a half of an hour or less. If you choose to hard mod your Wii, it can take several hours and you will have to do some soldering and install a mod chip. The hard mod can void your warranty whereas the soft mod will not. The other benefit to a soft mod is that you will have the ability to roll your Wii back to the way it was prior to the mod.
