Hey everyone I got the Limited Edition Red Wii for Xmas. I am looking into modding it and was wondering what everyone thinks is the best route to go? I am kinda thinking I am going to stick with a hard mod but that's not definite. Also wondering if there is anyone that still does hardware mods? I was told the newer wii's have been modified so they wont read copied dvds everything has to be from an SD or External HD anyways,is this true?

Thanks

Jake

yes. new wii's have drives that are unable to read copied discs.

so softmodding is the choice. besides, you have much more benefit from a usb loader. faster loading, no need to switch discs, all stored in one place.

Well I am thinking I would still like the hard mod,my problem is the only thing I can see capable of reading from an external usb hard drive would be the wode jukebox is that correct. Any of the other hard mods and I am looking at using SD cards?

no. and IMO, the wode isn't worth it. you lose the disc drive completely, and you have to use the firmware on it.

the only downfall of usb loaders is no gamecube backups like the wode. but even the wode doesn't have a fully working gamecube loader.

So if I softmod, can i load isos from an external Hard Drive? And can someone point me in the right direction of the best instruction set to softmod the new red wii?

read, read, and read more before you start modding. if you try to mod right away with no experience, you will mess up.

and yes, softmodding allows you to rip your store bought games to a external drive. see my sig for my specs.

If you have a modchip installed (and have 1 of the older DVD that can read backups) and you want to softmod then yes you can use a backup copy of the game.

If you don't have a modchip then you have to use a retail disc.
