The Console That Won't Die
It's 2025, and the Nintendo Wii is still finding its way into living rooms. Why? Because the homebrew community has turned it into the ultimate emulation station.
Why Mod a Wii Now?
- Native GameCube Support: Unlike the Wii U, the original Wii has native hardware support for GameCube games, meaning perfect compatibility without emulation glitches.
- CRT Compatibility: The Wii is the last console to support 240p output natively via component cables, making it perfect for PVMs and CRTs.
- Cheap Hardware: You can still find Wiis at thrift stores for under $50.
Essential Mods
Priiloader is a must-have for brick protection. USB Loader GX allows you to play your backups from a hard drive. And for the modern era, Wii2HDMI adapters (though hit or miss) make it easier to connect to modern displays.
