Do you mean hardware mods or soft mods?

I'm sure the Wii could run Windows 95/98, these are it's minimum hardware requirements:

Windows 95:

A personal computer with a 386DX, 20MHz or higher processor, running the MS-DOS operating system version 3.2 or later, or running Microsoft Windows version 3.0 or later, or running OS/2 version 2.0 or later
Note: Do not install Windows 95 on a computer with a B1 (stepping) chip.

4MB of memory (8MB recommended)
At least 70MB of available hard disk space for installation
Actual requirements may vary based on features you choose to install. UITS recommends that you keep at least 10% of the drive free to reduce errors and fragmentation; therefore, on a 1GB drive, keep 100MB free.

One 3.5" high-density disk drive or a CD-ROM drive
VGA or higher resolution graphics card

Windows 98:

486DX 66 MHz or better processor (Pentium recommended)

16 megabytes (MB) of memory (24 MB recommended)

120 MB minimum of free hard-disk space (Note that typical installation requires approximately 195 MB of free hard-disk space, but may range between 120 MB to 295 MB, depending

CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive

3.5-inch high-density floppy disk drive

Display adapter and monitor that support VGA or higher resolution

Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.

Probably hardware mods, as the Wii has barely enough memory to run Windows XP, storage space shouldn't be a concern though because I'm wanting to run this from a USB drive.

Edit: I should probably mention that it would be best to test things on an emulator such as Dolphin before going straight to physical hardware.

(and how would you change the speed without overclocking it?).

Windows XP minimum hardware requirements:

Microsoft's minimum requirements for Windows XP are a 233 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, 1.5 GB of available hard drive space, and an SVGA-capable video card. UITS has found that computers not exceeding those requirements run Windows XP poorly or not at all.

Wii's hardware:

So there is gonna have to be some modding required.

It isn't

Also, I am a bit skeptical about the processing power. The minimum processing speed is 3-4 times less than the Wii's, but I'm still not sure if that would be sufficient (and how would you change the speed without overclocking it?). I think the memory would be good if you, again, had something like ReadyBoost on the Wii.

The wii uses power pc architecture. Windows XP is only for x86. Software for x86 processors will not run on power pc hardware. The hardware requirements of XP also put emulation out of the question.

I forgot about that, maybe there's some other operating system that could be run?

Maybe we can build our own OS that supports the Wii?

I forgor about that, the Wii uses PowerPC I think. Maybe emulation could do the trick?

Why not just use the os that already exists on the wii then

The category this topic is posted in (Advanced Topics) can have topics that do not relate to Scratch. For example, a web browser named catalyst is developed in a topic in this forum category.

This already exists in OP. As a rule.

They do appear to be discussing it, but they are mainly saying “downloading copyrighted wads is illegal” or stuff like that.
