Hmm, I didn't know this was possible until you mentioned it, interesting.

I'm kind of geeked out by the idea, but I doubt it could do much for me that the "easy" soft mod can't.
It was super cool how they did it. You buy Zelda and at a certain point in the game you prompt an answer from a character and it black screens your wii and starts to run the install.
