I live in a country where the Wii was never officially sold, and as such all the games are pirated and available consoles all tend to be pre-chipped and the price the Wii was at launch.
I'm heading back to Australia for a visit in a few weeks, and after which, I will bring my Wii back with me, but have no intention of chipping it, only softmodding. I don't plan on bringing any of the physical media back with me either, only the portable hdd.

But if something goes awry when I'm back here and I need to reuse Modmii to clean it up (go through the process again as a Virgin wii), do I need my copy of Super Smash Brothers again?

It depends what goes wrong. If, for example, you lose your softmods because you do something stupid like updating past 4.1 and the HBC stops working (for whatever reason), you would need an exploitable game like SSBB to resoftmod. This is very unlikely to happen though, since Priiloader blocks updates and you would have to manually update to 4.2 or higher (an even stupider thing to do) and something like IOS58/61 getting corrupted would have to happen at the same time.

Except for crazy circumstances like the above, you shouldn't need an exploitable game after you first softmod it.

Great. It is a black Wii, so I'm supposing it will already have beyond 4.1 (4.3 perhaps), but having had a chipped launch wii in the past, I know all about avoiding updates.

Thanks

I figured it would be a new one. If you know what you are doing, I recommend downgrading to 4.1 (perhaps using the custom system menu from Softmod ANY Wii which prevents updates), but if you are a newbie at the softmodding process, you might want to leave it where it is at. When you softmod it, there are two guides I'd recommend you choose from:
ModMii: An easy and fast softmod that covers all the basics. Excellent choice for your average user.
Softmod ANY Wii: Adds just about every method of brick protection possible (perfect for paranoid people), but takes longer to do.

I was going to go with Modmii, but I'm happy to go through a slightly longer process if it means a more thorough/somehow better mod.

The 'Softmod ANY Wii' guide: I assume you are referring to this one?

Thanks

Yes, that is the one.

It covers all the basics and is easier/shorter, but it doesn't have everything. It's up to the OP to decide.

    I could also yank out the rest of my teeth but theirs professionals for that
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive

    "Just kiss me Kyle." And I thought all the godreborn gay stuff was a smear campaign

  • K3N1 @ K3N1:
    Well one you insert one PSU into the other one you get power
