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, str2hax, or 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, install BootMii and Priiloader, and use common sense, you should be completely fine!

Error 220602
For RiiConnect24 Users
You are using the old DNS server for RiiConnect24. Follow this guide for instructions on how to change it.
For non-RiiConnect24 Users
Your Primary DNS server is incorrect or not working.
This can also happen if you use a proxy server and it is down.
Error 107304
For RiiConnect24 Users
If you get this error or you see Nintendo's User Agreement without RiiConnect24's logo, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of RC24 DNS. You can set Auto-Obtain DNS to On to solve this. RiiConnect24 will still work without it. Or, you can use the RiiConnect24 DNS-Server program.
For non-RiiConnect24 Users
If you get this error, the DNS server you chose or your internet as a whole is having issues. Try again later.
FORE000006
If you get error FORE000006, your Wii's clock is probably set incorrectly. See this 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.
How can I remove parental controls?
