They are soft modding or using a Mod Chip. Homebrew are unauthorized programs created by talented people.

While this did indeed make it easier for some users to pirate software, this was an unfortunate side-effect and a necessary compromise due to the nature of backup discs themselves. The loader began as a project to understand more about the way Wii discs were treated by the system to allow legitimate backups of Wii discs to be executed by the system. Softchip is not, nor never has been a piracy platform. If you have ever paid for Softchip or any related utilities, you have been ripped off. Any utilities built into the Softchip platform will be given freely for the community to use, learn from, build from, and even base their own projects around. The software does not cost anything to download or use, and the source code is always available for the public. Most importantly, Softchip is, always has been, and always will be 100% free. The Wii is truly one of the homebrew community's gems, and we wish build upon the successes of ourselves and others. SD/HC cards are supported by the core libraries. With recent developments in IOS modification, USB 2.0 devices have (some limited) support.

The Softchip platform can go far beyond simple disc loading.

We're hoping that we can expand beyond the niche of backup disc loading and appeal to the entire homebrew community.

There are a number of utility programs that are being developed, as well as testing modules for as-of-yet unreleased additions and features. It has sense evolved into something more. Softchip began life as a Wii disc loader for the Nintendo Wii.
