pretty sure there is no hard mod method for the wii seeing the system has multiple exploits for the latest firmware the reason the loader is crashing is either because the previous owner never installed CIOS or your drive is not formatted correctly

My Wii has both.
I soldered a modchip when it was released, then later I softmodded it when the modchip wasn't useful anymore.
I didn't unsolder it, it's just there, unused. so, it has both.

the hardmod is mostly use to play burned discs or other region, and the softmod to play iso from an external storage.
of course, some softmod could play burned disc too, it would be easy to check such mod without opening the console. It would be harder to check if you have a hardmod without opening the console as it requires removing all softmod and see if burned discs or other region still work.


First, to see if it's softmoded ... it has HBC so it is.
Then, if you want to know which other soft modification you have, you can run syscheck (see the tutorial in my signature) and post the result here.

I suggest running ModMii and treating your Wii as if it is virgin.

That will resoftmod the Wii and install all the needed cIOS/loaders you need.

Edit: Modchips are pratically dead.
Sundrivers are replacement ODDE's for the Wii's DVD drive but I doubt you have one of those in it.

ModMii is a PC application made by XFlak.
It basically is a all in one tool to softmod Wii's.
It has a simple to understand GUI if I'm not mistaken.
