modchips are largely used to circumvent copy protection, which infringes copyright in many legislations. other forms of moddding, such as portabilization, do not violate the copyright laws as no intellectual property is touched.

I'm a student, not an engineer. However, I believe the most difficult part will be positioning the buttons where the stick used to be. The actual placement of wiring is a non-issue.

As a potentiometer used in a joystick usually is used as a voltage divider consisting of two resistors (the part between + and out and the part between - and out) for which the ratio of the resistors is the value detected, one should be able to substitute a pair of resistors with buttons to short ...

Wii understands USB keyboards on the Internet channel and the GC-Linux port, as well as the message board. So that could be added. Also, storage for wiimotes.
