Is HomeBrew compatible with brand-new Wiis?
I guess before I ask my question, I should explain my situation lol.
I have softmodded my own Wii (U.S.) with many different homebrews, and I have bought a relative a brand-new Wii (also U.S.) (Bought Nov. 23, 2009, AKA yesterday), and he would like me to put homebrew on it. I have everything he needs (External Hard Drive, SD Card, programs, etc.), but I was needing to see if it was safe first! If it is not, I can return the new Wii for a 'more-useful' used Wii.
My question (although it is apparent by now) is:
Are Brand-New Wiis safe to Softmod?
Thanks to all for the help!
EDIT: I forgot to mention the major problem!! I cannot actually open the box for the wii, as that would void its return.
