Wii Softmodding

Wii ConsoleLG 2.5 USB Hard Drive

How It Works - Softmod Standard
Allows you to play backup copies from disc and allows imported games to work without having a modchip installed. For all firmware versions on both US Import and European consoles. Most white consoles can currently be modified. Includes all necessary software required to play backup games.

Update: not all consoles can read backup discs. All black consoles and all new white consoles have an updated DVD drive that will only read original discs. You can still order this service if you have a white Wii console and we can try it for you. If your white console cannot read backup discs, we can install the software to enable use of a USB hard drive instead, no hard drive will be supplied though.

How It Works - Softmod Advanced
Includes everything above in Softmod Standard and a pre-formatted USB hard drive. Games can be added/removed as required via the Wii or a PC. A user guide and PC software package is included to get you started. Hard drive is a very quiet 2.5” 250GB hard drive self powered via USB connection so no extra power cable for the drive is required.

How To Order

No modchip is installed during the process and your console is not opened at any time. Prices below include cost of SD card, hard drive (advanced only), installation fee and return postage to mainland UK.

Firmware 4.3
Update: We cannot currently complete our service on firmware version 4.3. Before you place an order, check inside Wii Settings on your console. At the top right of the screen, you'll see your firmware version. 4.2E or below is fine, but 4.3E is impossible at the moment. If any other letter is shown after the numbers, such as U, J or K, your console is imported.
