### How risky is hacking my console?
2021-08-25 05:54:10 +02:00
Bricks (a state where either some parts of your Wii software are not working, or your Wii is not working at all) are extremely rare unless you ignore/circumvent all safety checks, or do something risky or naive like installing an older version of the Wii Menu. Make sure you install [BootMii ](bootmii ) and [Priiloader ](priiloader ) to protect yourself from bricks!
