[@abdulwahabvanreenen723]

Hey. Have you tried it and did it work?

[@leviwarren6222]

@@abdulwahabvanreenen723 It did on 3 out of 4. One of the mods failed in some insidious way and I spent a dozen hours trying to figure out why it wasn't working the way that it should. Certain games would freeze during loading screens and I trouble shot every angle I could think of. I tried a couple different methods of remoding the console as well and the issue persisted so it may very well have just been an issue with the Wii. Either way, this method worked well and it's pretty streamlined as well as not needing a Wi-Fi connection for the Wii so I may continue to mod with mod mii in the future.
