The tricky part for softmodding from what i know about the Wii, will be not getting the info on there (you can make a "fake" Mii file and dump it via bluetooth, and load it into the Wii, or alot of other things) it will be figuring out how to bypass the HARDWARE portion of the Wii, in effect it will have to stick the hardware in the "on" position, which is going to be hard, unless they make a custom firmware, and a million other things, none of which i can do
but i have been onto of wii modding for a while, just trying to pic the best way to mod it (yes HardMod) cause i dont want to add more wires, i can always upgrade the chip though, anyway time will tell
and snipes IT WILL HAPPEN, game backups are not to far away, the whole issue was no access to the USB ports, and no other media other than DVD for backups
