How do you mod a Wii

[Snipes101]

What do you do, is it a softmod or a modchip?


Edit: quick summery of what i've learned

1. You need a mod chip to - mod, play backup disk and homebured

2. the new wii's will prevent the current mod chip's from working

Edit Edit: I know think that the Wiikey will beable to mod any Wii new model or old

Thanks to Clowd & Snaf for the info

[Snafupossum]

[Snipes101]
