You can find broken wiis for 10 - 20 bucks and if its only the disc drive its an easy fix.
That's not true rodent, my wii HDD uses fat 32 format for the games. I just drag and drop. Also, I hacked 4.3 for a friend a while back. Followed this guide: http://gbatemp.net/topic/171901-modify-any-wii-43-below/ Feel free to contact me with any questions
I would still suggest soft modding and using Wiiflow. You can rip all your games to an hdd which gives you faster load times and you dont have to change out disks. I honestly modded my wii just so i could put my original disks up since i have a 4 and 7 year old. They do not take good care of disks...Would I be allowed to make a tutorial for modding wii and links to all the Optional software? Just think it would help people Get an idea of what they could do.
