We last left off where Seth decided to go to Valor on his black dragon Erath. And when he got there...And if anyone forgot the story, Kyan found his long lost friend Seth on Valor, and his black dragon Erath. Kyan is a mamkute that can still use swords as well as dragon stone attack.

No, it's region locked.

You can either try a freeloader (which was nuked by an update long ago, so if you updated your firmware, you might as well forget it) or you can hack your Wii and install homebrew.

Modding your wii isn't too hard to do. The only material item you need is about a 2 gig SD card compatible with the Wii- the rest is just programs.

The programs you're going to want are BootMii, Bannerbomb, and for playing region free games, GeckoOS.

Taiko no Tatsujin is why, if you must know. I got addicted to it at the arcade game, and my girlfriend and I bond over singing japanese songs we have no idea what the fuck are saying while banging on drums together.

What SD card would you recommend? And I assume I need an SD reader too to put stuff on it >_>

Well, yes, you'll need a way to put data on it, but I thought most computers these days came with SD card readers. I wouldn't really recommend a specific brand, just one that's about 2 gigs. Any more, there's compatibility issues with the Wii, any less, and you won't have enough room to back up your system comfortably. That's optional, but highly recommended just in case something goes wrong. The rest is more adequately explained on Wiibrew.

Also I am obligated by law to inform you that if you're going to mod your wii you should totally buy Super Robot Wars Neo.

Right on. I can't navigate that wiki very well.
So basically I get an SD card, load those things on it, follow the directions with the programs, and voila my wii is modded?

Does that do anything for me beyond making it region-free? Can I pirate games now?

Okay, I think I'm probably really fucking sleepy, since I first read the topic title as

"Is the Wii religion-free?" for some retarded reason.

You can, in theory, pirate games once you've got the Homebrew channel installed, but that goes beyond my area of experience.

Yeah, the homebrew channel (which actually isn't illegal or warranty-breaking IIRC) lets you launch whatever apps, so some guys have pirating stuff. Ask Wacka Alpaca about the pirating games thing if you want, he does a lot of it.

Illegal, not at all. Warranty breaking, yes, so be careful of that. All the more reason to back up your wii at the first opportunity with bootmii.

Homebrew -> uninstall -> Wii system update -> nintendo can't tell the difference.
