Sweet, my son is now playing Warioland Shake It, whose disc was too scratched to play previously! And I edited the BootMii config to auto start the system menu with a 0 second delay. :) It looks like it wasn’t ever hacked, except for my new USB game channel. :)

Thanks for lighting a fire under me to get this done. I successfully used ModMii 4.3.4 to hack my Wii with System 4.3 installed! I am currently in the process ripping the game discs. I finally found a good use for my old Mac Hard drive. :)

Now I just need to figure out how to boot to the either the Wii Menu or the Hard Drive menu on startup, instead of the silly BootMii menu.

Your reason for setting this up (protecting the original discs) is clever. When I read that it occurred to me that my Wii’s optical drive is dying, it reads discs less reliably and sounds like a souped up RC car engine when spinning! This sounds like a great alternative to replacing the optical drive in mine. Hmm. Now to find (or wait for) a hack for 4.3.

Ah, here’s one: http://www.wiinintendo.net/2010/10/13/modmii-4-3-2/

Like Yakko from Animaniacs yelled “Spoil your dinner”, we can yell “Void your warranty!”. But yes, gameconsoles should be kid-proof, especially when part of the audience turns out to be quite young (I always thought most game consoles ended up in frat houses, but I recently visited a family where I saw a really nice WII game played and enjoyed by a 3-year old. I never guessed ;)).
