    Wii Noob looking for info on softmod

    I have read some of the info regarding softmoding and I am sure that it will go fine. I am at work so I dont know what firmware version I have. On some forums it says that a softmod could be bricked by some of the firmware updates and you should have backed up some files first to be able to restore them?

    So the question I have is:

    How do I minimise the risk with softmodding or is chipping the way to go. I will be comfortable with either.

    Do I need a HD loader to get an external HD to work to boot ISO.

    If I get a backup ISO do you have to patch an ISO for a region or any other other reason or will it work as is for all regions / pal / ntsc etc. Any other info for competent noobs?

      never heard of anybody bricking there wii while modding it,you can make a backup after,a hd loader will come with the mod,you can patch a iso for multi region,but you can normally play them without any problems
