Today has seen the release of an External USB DVD Drive for Wii, im not sure if this can be used instead of a broken internal drive but certainly seems interesting, might also be very handy for Homebrew on the Wii without knackering up your original Drive, the release site states this can be used for other means, but we at DCEmu are not interested in piracy at all, but for homebrew and if you have a broken internal DVD Drive this does seem interesting
