What does the Wii Mod let you do? What doesn't it let you do?

I'll take a stab in the dark that it enables you to play games you download off the net and burn yourself, thereby saving you tons of money?

That is the main reason of modding any video game machine. Laughing

If it's the same as the xbox it'll prevent you playing online but enable you to play 'backup' games.

Might have to keep an eye on updates too.

It will NOT prevent you from playing online. I play online all the time.

You can play all regions and you can play burned games.

Does it allow you to play any homebrew?

Also, I read that the KOrean Wii's can't be modded yet. Is that still the case?

I don't know about Korean Wiis, as the last time I asked about it in that cave in Yongsan, they all told me they only modded Japanese Wiis.

Korean wii's can definitely be modded now. Got one modded a few weeks back in Yongsan, 80,000 won.

If your system is a different region from the game, you will need to remove that update
