I also modded my Wii and put some emulators on it, as well as some Wii game ISOs (so that I don't have to put in the discs).  I actually haven't used it as much as I thought I would, but I do have several other ways to play emulated games if I want to do that.

The TV that I have my Wii connected to may have been one of the last TVs to still have analog RCA/component inputs, which the Wii is using (I have it connected via the 5 component inputs - 3 RGB for video, and 2 for the stereo audio.  It seems that most TVs these days just have HDMI inputs.  The TV I'm using with my Wii is a 55" 4K TV, and I think it's kinda funny it has the RCA inputs..  The Wii has an option to output either a 4:3 image or a 16:9 image, and the Wii actually looks pretty decent on the TV, especially with the 16:9 option.
