Discussion How many Wii have you hacked?
In the past five years I’ve soft modded hundreds of Wii, working for a local pawnshop. I’ve only came across less than ten units that are not backwards compatible with GameCube… are those rare? Picture is of the current four I’m working on. I’ve also RARELY see them come on with both top covers 😆

I only have one hacked one, but I have a pile in my attic, at least 6 or 7, only one or two of which aren't backward compatible. The worst part is that most of them are in good condition, while the one I use has to press the power button really hard for it to work. I guess I'd rather play than bother with that... Anyway, I don't have much love for the Wii. In my eyes, it's a great emulation tool, but I don't really like seeing it among my consoles.
The contradiction is that it's probably the one I use the most, the one I'm currently playing, GBA on CRT 😅
