Softmodding your Wii will enhance your console substantially and allow you to do so much more.
Nintendo, like all the other major console manufacturers, lock down their consoles limiting what you can do with them. The main reason for this is to allow them to control what you can and cannot do with them and to reduce piracy. The trouble is this also severely restricts what you can do. A Wii is essentially a computer hooked up to your TV, which means it is capable of doing everything a normal computer does. Except only so much quieter!
What can a softmodded Wii doThis is just a small selection of what is possible with a softmodded Wii.
Play Backed up Wii gamesThe Wii games come on a disc which can easily be scratched or damaged. By backing up your games you can preserve your original discs and use a cheap dvd disc instead. So if you or your children break, scratch or otherwise damage the disc you can easily run off another copy.
