Softmodded my Wii when I was 10 so I could play pirated games. lol. Even though it was 2016 and Wii homebrewing was already well established even then, getting backups/loaders to work was a pain in the ass, but it was fun, and I somehow didn't brick my Wii. I think I only started homebrewing my Wii because at the time I saw an upload by Michael MJD about it?
