### What are the limitations in vWii modding?
|
|
The following is a list of things that can potentially **BRICK** your vWii (don't do these things!):
|
|
* Installing IOS for a Wii console on vWii.
|
|
* Installing Wii menu themes not formatted correctly for vWii and/or your region.
|
|
* Installing BootMii.
|
|
* Failure during the install of crucial system/IOS titles (e.g. power outage).
|
|
* Modifying the vWii NAND without knowing what you are doing.
|
|
|
|
### What are the SD card requirements and/or recommendations?
|
|
You will need an SD card with at least 128MB to run an exploit, unless you are running [BlueBomb](bluebomb), [str2hax](str2hax), or [FlashHax](flashhax).
|
|
|
|
To store homebrew applications, it is recommended that you use an SD card at least 2GB in size.

|
### How risky is hacking my console?
|
|
Not very risky to be honest, depending on your console. The Wii requires much less barrier to entry than other consoles, with some exploits requiring nothing more than a Wii and an internet connection. As long as you follow the general advice laid out [here](bricks#brick-prevention), install [BootMii](bootmii) and [Priiloader](priiloader), and use common sense, you should be completely fine!

### I got error code XXXXXX, how do I fix it?
|
|
In order to check what the error means, please visit the [Wiimmfi error page](https://wiimmfi.de/error). More common errors have fixes listed below:
|
|
|
|
#### Error 01530/51330
|
|
|
|
Run an Internet connection test by going to `Wii Settings > Internet > Connection settings > Connection > Test this connection`
|
|
|
|
#### FORE000006
|
|
|
|
If you get error FORE000006, your Wii's clock is probably set incorrectly. See [this](wiiconnect24#updating-rtc-clock) on instructions for how to properly reset it. If this still fails, remove the Wii's clock battery (located on the bottom of the system behind a screw) for an hour and put it back in. Then, reset the Wii's clock.
