'''WiiMode''' refers to the state on the Wii U when Wii backwards compatibility is in use. It is launched by [[cafe2wii]], and can only be exited through a reboot, which is what the [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wii_U_Menu Wii U Menu] channel does.
+
+WiiMode is not emulated; it instead runs in a hardware-enforced sandbox. This results in certain Wii U mode features being available through exploits, such as [[Hardware/Espresso|Espresso]] code execution without Broadway compatibility mode enabled. None of these exploits allow a full Wii U mode takeover.
