I have a question about un-hacking the Wii.
Essentially, I am giving my old console to a friend and I wanted to return it to factory default settings. I previously hacked it so that it could play games off of a hard drive and run ROMs etc.
I know there's a button on the settings menu which says "Format," so my question is, since it's currently in a "hacked" state, if I hit the format button will it brick the console? Or could I just use that to restore everything to normal? Also, just in case my friend decides to change his mind later, will I be able to hack the wii again using the same methods from before?
Sorry if this question is a bit ridiculous, I don't really know anything about technology so any information would be a great help! Thanks for reading! I appreciate it!
