Hacking Softmodding/Hacking My Wii Questions

[Zerosuit connor]

Hey guys I'm really new to wii hacking/soft modding whatever its called ( I am generally more for mobile devices and handhelds) . I think im going to use the twilight hack as that seems easy. Any way i have some questions.

Is the twilight hack reversable?
What are the risks?
How long will it take?
Can I still play downloaded and paid wii ware/console games?
How big are wii iso files generally?
Can i play them without burning them to a disc?
Can i downlaod wii ware/virtual console games from the internet and play them?


Thanks In advance.

twilight hack is obsolete...use modmii (link in sig...or in the stickies at top of forum.)

What are the risks? brick...but the chances are almost zero.
How long will it take? it's not a race...take your time; don't miss steps....
Can I still play downloaded and paid wii ware/console games? yes
How big are wii iso files generally? .isos are 4.35 or 7.7ish GB's...but that's not really the question you should be asking
Can i play them without burning them to a disc? yes. usb loading from a HDD....use FAT32 and use wii backup manager to shrink the .iso's to .wbfs files
Can i downlaod wii ware/virtual console games from the internet and play them? yes...if you install them to your NAND or an emu-NAND

Well for the twilight hack, hmm just use ModMii for Windows and it'll ask you information about the wii and the best way to hack it. I hacked mine with the SSBB hack because ModMii said it was the best for my Wii. Although I had to borrow the game from a friend. And if you do this, don't rush, you'll only make things go bad that way.

You can download .wads from the internet of VC/WW games and install them onto your .nand.
With a HDD you can load games from a USB Loader such as CFG USB Loader found here?
I haven't actually tried running commercial games off the Disc Channel since I hacked it.
ISO's range from 1 GB to about 7 GB depending on the game, so a rather bit HDD is recommended. I have a 500GB. A HDD compatibility wiki is here, though it's rather outdated.
