If I get a new Wii, then I won't have a modchip in it. Can I install the hackmii installer, which then I can have bootmii and HBC.
My question is, will i still be able to backup the nand, and restore, since i dont' have a modchip. What are the cons of not having the modchip?

And can I play backups without the modchip? Is it slower?

Hmm also are there any other wads or programs needed to be installed to prevent bricks.

Yes to everything. There are no cons, only pros to not having a mod chip.

No. And no WAD discussion on our site either, kthnx.

ahh srry, but thanks for the other information

I'll add that if you get a new Wii, you probably won't have a vulnerable boot2 for Bootmii, so you could only have some brick protection, but not full.

but buying a new wii will mean it probably wont have vulnerable boot1, so you can't install bootmii as boot2, so you wont have proper brick protection.

is there a way to find out if the wii can do boot2 or not? Like the certain serial on the back?

The best option is to just load the Hackmii installer and it'll tell you if the install is possible. There's also a boot1 checker out there somewhere.

If your serial number has LU64 ... you should have the new boot1.

However,

[Insert Kage's comment]

yeah, just run the HackMii installer, but if you haven't bought the Wii yet, see above. But depending on country that's different. I think thats the USA serial. But if it isn't bought yet it WILL have invulnerable boot1, therefore BootMii can't be installed as boot2
