There are actually ways to mod Wii games easily, and then modifying the real game ISOs or using gecko cheats to change files on RAM from a SD. People have probably done this on some games, but the most famous and the only I can talk about is Super Smash Bros. It has to be the most modded game on Wii for sure.

. Before downloading, you need to select your OS version (viewable in the Wii's settings menu). You also need to input your Wii's Mac Address. To find this, click on Wii Options. Go to Wii Settings. Go to page 2 of the settings, then click on Internet. Click on Console Information.
Enter the Mac Address displayed there in the appropriate area of the website page. By default, the option to Bundle the HackMii Installer for me! Leave it that way. The page has a recaptcha security system. After filling in the words, you have a choice between clicking Cut the red wire or Cut the blue wire. As far as we can tell it doesn't make any difference which one you click.
Either will download the file. Unzip the file to your SD card. Turn on your Wii. Once the main menu is up, click on the envelope in the circle on the lower right of the screen. This takes you to your Wii Message Board.
Now you need to find a special message indicated by a red envelope containing a cartoon bomb (see screenshot). This will most likely be in yesterday's mail, so click the blue arrow to the left to go to the previous day. According to the instructions, it could also turn up in today or two days ago.
Once you find the envelope, click on it. If your Wii is off, turn it on. From the main Wii menu, click on the little round circle in the lower left-hand corner that says ' Wii.' . Click on Data Management. Then click on Channels.
Click on the SD Card tab in the upper right corner of the screen. There is a little door next to the game disk slot on the Wii, open it and you will see a slot for a SD card.
Insert the SD card into it so that the top of the card is towards the game disk slot. If it only goes partway in, you’re inserting it backward or upside down. A dialogue box will pop up asking if you want to load boot.dol/elf.
A screen will come up telling you whether the homebrew items you want to install can be installed. This guide assumes they can be. (If you have an older Wii and are using the Letterbomb method then you may be given a choice between installing BootMii as boot2 or IOS. The Readme file included with Letterbomb explains the pros and cons, but newer consoles will only allow the IOS method.). Select Continue and press A. You will see a menu that will allow you to install The Homebrew Channel. It will also let you choose to run Bootmii, the installer, which you will probably never need to do.
If you are using the Bannerbomb method you will have a DVDx option as well. Select Install the Homebrew Channel and press A. You will be asked whether you want to install it, so choose to continue and press A again. After it installs, which should just take a few seconds, press the A button to continue.
If you're using Bannerbomb you can also optionally use the same procedure to install DVDx, which unlocks the ability of the Wii to be used as a DVD player (if you install media playing software like ). It's unclear why DVDx isn't included in Letterbomb, but it can be installed; you can find it with the Homebrew Browser. When you’ve installed everything you want to install, select Exit and press the A button. Choose an application listed at wibrew.org and click on it. This will give you a description of the software, with links on the right-hand side to download it or visit the developer’s website. Click on the download link. This will either start the download immediately or take you to a website from which you can download the software.
The software will be in the zip or rar format, so you will need appropriate decompression software. If you have Windows you can use something like. Decompress the file into your SD card’s “apps” folder.
Make sure it is in its own subfolder. For example, if you install SCUMMVM, you would have a SCUMMVM folder inside of the apps folder. Put as many applications and games as you like (and that will fit) on the card. Now take the card out of your PC and put it back in your Wii. From the main Wii menu, click on the Homebrew Channel and start it. You will now see anything you installed listed on the screen. Click on t he item of your choice and enjoy.
