wii - hardmod or softmod?

[auriga1000]

as above.
which is better/safer? and why

Its totaly up to you man, If you are comfortable with cracking open your console and fiddling with its insides thats all good.
The softmod can render your wii totally bricked, but from my experience its seems to be safe enough. The pro to doing it this way is that your waranty is still intact after doing
the mod.

Homebrew is alot of fun. Doing the 4.2e HBC is easy and all the tools you need are on the net. Google it should be easy to find.

got this link. any good?
i have a brand new wii -unopened. what firmware do you think it will have. btw, its the sports resort pack.

 

[arcademan]

yep this looks like what i do. You probably have the updated firmware but you can check by going into the system menu and check in the top right hand corner. There it will show you the Version number.
