No hardware modification is needed. Firmware version 3.3 attempted to block use of this hack, but [http://hackmii.com/2008/06/wii-menu-tp-hack-killer-analysis/#comment-1261 failed in implementation]. The second-newest version of the firmware (3.4) tried once again to block this point of entry, and once again failed.
