It depends. If you use it to download commercial roms and emulators then it is not, but otherwise it is legal. Your warranty is voided but there is a low chance of 'bricking' your wii (modifying the firmware so that it won't start normally) but just backup your data and install starfall. p.s. there is a low chance of getting caught pirating
Nintendo does not support the Homebrew Channel. If you try and update your Wii firmware and it doesn't work but your Homebrew Channel gets deleted, try to update again and it should work.

∙ 12y agoDue to misconceptions it is not illegal to alter your wii to accept homebrew. Many homebrew apps are made by programmers for free. It is however illegal to download, run, or even play any game that you do not own!!
Its not illegal but adding hardware can void your warranty
