NEWS FEEDHomebrew Enables DVD Playback On Wii
08.13.08
It plays DVD’s and all other media via mplayer but it’s not quite ready for mass consumption:
“The DVDX installer instead will install a small, hidden, channel on your Wii that allows you to read DVDs on an unmodified system.”
“Once you’ve done that, you can enjoy the splendor of mplayer. That what started out as a simple proof of concept has rapidly turned into a full-featured media player, under the nourishing hands of dhewg. The main aim of the mplayer project was to get DVDVideo going, but it also supports reading video files off the SD card. (Experimental).Unmodded, wow.
A patch for Wii64, the N64 emulator for the Wii, will also be available shortly. This patch will allow you to read games off a DVD.”
