Hi guys,
thanks to all you guys and the effort you have put into getting my Wii to do more than Nintendo would want me to. I am not a hacker or coder, just a humble user.
I am still struggling to get DVD movies to play on my Wii though.
My machine was recently updated to the 4.2e menu, done deliberately because I wanted access to the BBC iPlayer channel. Regardless of this, I have successfully installed BootMii (or is it HackMii - the one with the 4 icons at power-up time) and this claims to have also successfully installed DVDx. In the Homebrew channel I also have MPlayerCE with which I am trying to view my DVDs. Unfortunately, this doesn't seemed to be working, but I have no information as to why. Are there any log files I can browse to give me some clues? Should my machine be ready to play movies from DVD or do I need to take extra steps?
I am very confused about the need for the 'custom cIOS USB2' mentioned on the MPlayerCE website and the use of IOS i general. I get the impression these are mainly needed by those looking to run 'backup discs', something I am not interested in. If I do need this step then I am still unable to figure out how to install them, the instructions I've tried to follow seem to be cloaked in a veil of obfuscation and depend on prior understanding of the subject.
Can anyone give me clues to get DVDs playing on my Wii?
Thanks in advance.
