I've been reading about these mods with great interest - but wondered just how close the wii is now to being software modded.

I have small children that by accident manage to damage a DVD disc every month - fortunatly its a copy of the original I never let them get near too - cant rememeber how many times I've copied Bob The Builder :)

The playstation discs have suffered the same and I'm pleased that the HD upgrade it received has allowed me to copy the most played games from those we've bought to the HD.

But the Wii - looks like its a much more involved process and unfortunatly I have one of the newest types that require a dremmel to attack the chip to expose the pins - not really something I want to do but may have no choice :( now if the creators of the games offered a reasonable replacement service for a small cost just above P&P then that for people like me would be a viable option and deter me from exploring chipping the device.

Offering up a suggesting in the hope that the clever people who develop these mods might read it -

Another device we own being an internet radio is updated in a simular way to the wii ie via online download - but its possible to effectively highjack the DNS entry of the host site so that the radio thinks its talking to and receiving a download from the manufacture where as really its talking to another computer on the same network and receiving a modded firmware that enables features and access that would not normally be possible - could the Wii be tricked in this manor to receive a firmware update that would effectively render it able to use backup discs ?
