Sorry to all the people that we had no real chance to credit, there were heaps more that worked on this but i really dont want to keep this on my computer much longer in case it goes missing forever, everyone will be correctly credited on the
next release.

just tryed this.. it doesnt work.. the wii doesnt recognize the disc.

yes i ha ve a modded wii and yes i did everything like the instructions say.. so im gonna be the first one to say: FAKE

I find it amazing that a Wii Firmware update still hasn't included a DVD Playback function yet.

[xzero001]

well after some experimenting i managed to make it work.

what i did:

1.- Load GCOS as you would for a normal Game Cube multi disc game (i even used one of my multigames disc).

2.- When the GCOS menu shows up dont select Boot DVD, first swap out the gcos multidisc for the one with the burned symbiot files.

3.- Now select Boot DVD and it should ask you to select one of 5 files. Select the one that ends in .dol

4.-The player will run, now swap the disc with the player for the dvd you wish to see and press and hold Z with the gamecube controller.

5.- Select your movie and press A. You're ready to go.

A lot of steps just to see a damn movie.. but hey it works and its free..
