DVD Playback On Wii

[Ricochet]

Homebrew Goodness for the Wii

August 22nd, 2007 - One of the Nintendo Wii’s few criticisms is it’s inability to play DVD movie disks. Since development there has been speculation Nintendo would enable DVD playback in future released consoles, or possibly through a firmware update downloadable from the Wii Shop Channel. Fortunately Wii owners who have modchips that support Dual Layer DVDs can start enjoying watching their DVDs on their consoles.

Instructions:

Burn with clone CD, Boot in modded wii with homebrew based
mod programmed with YOASM 1.8 (I used a wii-boss).
When menu comes up then the hit “z” to unmount, change disc to DVD movie and hit “start” to play.

Has a better way to play DVDs been discovered?

[GamezR2EZ]

Yup, i posted this way back when the Twilight Hack wasnt out (or wasnt as known mabye idk)

youll need the DVDx stub installer and a media player

i suggest MPlayer

that page has install instructions, but remember to get the DVDx stub (google it if you have to)


i am writing a guide for the install process but im busy programming my restore app to, which is not coming along as quick as i would have hoped.
