DVD Playability Hack

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.

Firmware Update – The Good and the Bad

Posted by Colin

August 8, 2007 – Considering this is a hack & mod site it is most important to start with the bad. Nintendo has sent a message to all Wii owners warning “If your Wii console has an unauthorized technical modification, this upgrade could cause inoperability of your console.” News of this firmware update is still fresh, and we’ve yet to test this, or hear any comments on which mod chips are affected or if they all remain unaffected. Update with caution!

On to the good…

There is now a digital clock placed on the main menu reminding players that time flies when they’re inevitably having fun. Another change to the Wii menu will be found on the forecast channel. Now the forecast channel will display the current weather in the channel selection interface. The message board now has a new “Today’s Accomplishments” option to display games you’ve played.

The Wii Shop channel has had a considerate makeover. The welcome screen has been redone, showing four recommended titles. There is now a list of popular titles, and new options to search for games by name, genre, and publisher.

Finally, USB keyboards can now be used to type as opposed to pointing in some channels. The Wii Shop Channel, and memo and mail writing can now utilize USB keyboard support. Unfortunately, the USB keyboard is not compatible with the Opera browser as of yet—but it could be safe to assume this trend will eventually follow onto web browsing.
