Wii Softmod Apps

Once you have finished softmodding your Wii, you're going to want apps for it. Kind of like with the iPhone, apps are what make the magic. In fact, the whole point of Wii softmods is to get your Wii to do more - and apps make that possible.

So what are some vital Wii homebrew apps you will want to have for any Wii console?

Something to play DVDs

One of the best parts of a modded Wii is being able to play video files and movies on it. You do this by uploading videos to SD cards or USB drives. Then plug 'em into your Wii.

Download the Mplayer CE homebrew app which lets you play videos and DVDs on your Wii.

Something to play games from other countries

A lot of Wii games aren't released in the US. There are all kinds of licensing reasons for this that we won't go into in this post.

Basically though, the Gecko homebrew app lets you play import games. While Wii Unlocker Ultra also lets you do this, you can just download apps separately if you are using the method where you mod your Wii independently of any purchaseable softmods.

You can also get apps for copying games, burning games for different platforms, and even connecting your Wii to a PC and essentially using it as a computer.

The Wii is pretty much limitless when it is softmodded. You won't have to look at getting a new console or even a new computer for years as long as you keep your Wii in good condition.
