Can you download and play Wii games without a mod chip? - Answers

Yes you can, but you will need to do what is called a "soft-mod" to the wii, how to do it will depend on what version of Wii firmware you have on your wii. Everything before version 4.0 can use the Twilight Hack. If 4.0 has been conquered by the hackers I do not know. Also note that you should use the program WiiBrickBlocker on all out of games you may find otherwise you could end up turning your wii into a brick if it updates your wii with and out-of-region game, or screwing up your soft-mod with an unwanted update. Of course downloading and copying of any games is illegal, with the only exception being for games you currently own and are making a backup copy for.
