You know, I still have my launch Wii, free of mods and hacks. Unfortunately, it doesn't read discs (that's fixable) and the internal hard drive seems to be damaged. I think my only alternative is to factory restore it, but I'm afraid of doing it, mostly because of the loss of Maboshi's Arcade and some Virtual Console games like Bomberman Hero, Pulseman, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles.

If I ever hack my Wii, it will be only to restore these games after I wipe its internal memory.

Hacking will always contribute to piracy

So Team Tweezers philosophy is downright laughable imo
