{: .notice--info}

There is a much easier method if you are planning to mod a vWii. Instead of using Bluebomb or a commercial game exploit, [mod it through Wii U mode](https://wiiuguide.xyz/#/vwii/vwii-modding)

### Choose an exploit to use

If your Wii is bricked and you have not installed bootMii or Priiloader, Bluebomb also doubles as a brick recoverer
