OK, go ahead & laugh @ this. I was SO excited when I got my Wii I installed the DVDx for Ver3.3 with errors, but have 3.4. Tried installing hackmii, patchmii, etc. Then uninstalled all those & installed DVDx for 3.4 & now can do everything. One catch, DVD play through HBC/Mplayer only plays select commercial DVDs.
- Just a small correction: Yes there is no need for DVDx moving forward as the HBC now sets the HWAHBPROT flag to provide full system access. I specifically say moving forward as programs have to be updated in order to make use of the new access method.
- This guide will teach you how to install MPlayer CE on your Wii which will then allow you to play DVD's as well as video, audio files on your Nintendo Wii.
DVDX is a homebrew application that installs a hidden 'channel' which was used by other homebrew applications to access home burned and factory pressed DVD content without the need for a modchip. As of HackMii Installer 0.7, DVDX is dead and has been superseded by the Homebrew Channel 1.0.7 itself. [1]
FAQ
Q: What type of DVD should I use?
A: Pressed DVD-ROM video discs of course work. For recordables, DVD-R media is recommended, as they are the most similar to pressed DVDs in terms of reflectivity. However, DVDX has been confirmed working with various DVD media, including DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs. Particular brands (lower quality discs) may be problematic, and different Wii drives have different levels of compatibility. Please note that DVD+R/RW discs will need to have their BookType set to DVD-ROM to work properly in Normal mode (if you have no modchip). PatchMii mode does not have this requirement, but requires a modchip.
Q: Why does my Wii not read my DVDs?
A: Be sure that you install the latest DVDX, and that the application that you are trying to use supports the latest DVDX, with the new title ID (DISC). If you are using a burned disc, make sure it is burned correctly. Biostar a780l3g drivers manual. Try re-burning the DVD on a DVD-R if it is not already.
