So, our old Wii was previously modded, this is many years ago now. I got it out because I wanted to play the GameCube Mario Party games with the microphone, which is impossible on Wii U unfortunately (which I'm still figuring the ins & outs of homebrew on it and trying to keep records of what I've done with it and how things work).

The thing is, I have no idea how it was modded or if any modifications were uninstalled. The homebrew channel is no longer installed. I want to say that at the time because it was still a current system I refused to let any "permanent" modifications happen, but I can't say for sure. So I was wondering, since I have no idea what was done, what's the safest way of reinstalling the homebrew channel and running the syscheck app to find out if IOSes were patched? I don't know all the old ways Wii hacking worked, or the current ways, so obviously I'll have to at least research how it's done now. I also don't really know if he did anything physically to the console (but I don't think so?), so I should likely check that somehow as well but I wouldn't know how to check it out.

I suppose knowing what model of Wii it is might make a difference, it said RVL-001 on it, it's black and has the GameCube disc reader & controller ports & memory card ports. If that's not the right info, let me know what I need to check and I'll get back to you. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use modmii from modmii.github.io or the gbatemp stickied thread, run the modmii wizard and tell it your wii is a virgin/unmodified even if it isn't, it will help softmod your wii, overwriting outdated mods in the process.

In the future u can run syscheck on your wii following the below link, then drag and drop your syscheck.csv onto modmii.exe and it will tell you if there are any recommended updates

Edit: forgot the syscheck link
