These are just a few reasons why someone would mod their Wii. Video game console modding has been around for ages, with them getting popular on the first Playstation. To install a mod chip used to include breaking open your machine and actually soldering wires! They make it sound easy, but it can be very intimidating looking at the inside of your console. Using a solder gun can easily go wrong when you're working on the circuit boards of your favorite game machine.
This is where soft modding comes into play. All the modding if your machine is done on the software! No longer void your warranty by opening your machine, or risk completely breaking it by soldering wires!
