You know, I've done an entire search on the Erant guy, but can't seem to find him... I'm not saying he doesn't exist, I just can't seem to find him...
You mean you haven't heard "Erant's DVDTool" before? Why are you even thinking about Wii softmods...
I've heard of the WiiDVDTool... never heard it called Erants before... and all that tool does is allow you to read your Wii DVD drive as a PC drive (when connected properly)
I'm not trying to connect my Wii DVD drive to my PC... I'm trying to find a way around having to do that, and around all physical modification... that's why it's called... wait for it.... waaaaaaait..... SOFTMOD!
EDIT:
After a quick google search for Erants DVD Tool thingy, I come up with this...

Erant's Serial DVD Tool Update for Wii
Erant has released a new build of his serial DVD drive tool for Wii. Currently it will 'regionfree' the Wii as well as boot any media of your choice!
Official readme file
With my project currently being not-so devved on, I've decided to release my most recent work. In it's current state, it will regionfree the Wii, and boot any media of your choice. You might recognize some of the methods from OpenWii (or will, when they finally release the source), that's because I've given them the methods for all-media-booting and regionfree. I'm not releasing this for warez or any kind of illegal practices. I'm mainly releasing this for the potential in the way I've implemented regionfree. Used like this, it can be used to patch any sector to anything you like, making (very slow) streaming from the PC to the Wii DVD drive possible. The source is a complete mess, but I don't see me working on it in the near future, so I'll release it for now, in the hope that someone will fix it up again. I've never merged my sources with groepaz' (thanks!), so maybe someone can do that for me.
(Usage:
./dvdtool -w 0x40C068 dms.bin
./dvdtool -i code.bin
Currently hardwired for a PAL DMS/D2A console, but like I said, this isn't the point, so kindly not use it as such. ta!
