Why would anyone want this? It's not like any good/fun Nintendo 64 games run at playable speeds anyway. (I hope that I am wrong)

yea wii64 has a $#@!y framerate who cares if it will load roms off a dvd. i think its funny its cool to talk about roms for n64 which is pirateing games
but as soon as some one asks for a program to run wii backups its all bad. im sure any one that puts n64 games on a dvd is going to put if not every n64 game ever made on the damn thing. every person i know that plays a n64 emu on there comp etc. dosent own any game they have a rom of.. sorry thought i get that out..

Well the thing is running an N64 game IS pirateing, but for most N64 games no one stands to lose any money on them. With Wii games the developers DO stand to loose a lot of money.
Also I know that the N64 games have crap frame rate but if we get to the point we can load other emulators that would be great...because as it stands now to load a big CPS2 rom it takes over half an hour....then PSX emu is all I need because ps1 had the best RPGs of all time and I want to play them on the big tv one last time.

Wait... did you play the videos (avi, flv, etc.) from the SD card or from the DVD?

Ok now managed to get it to read one of my back up DVD's. Played Ok but after a while it froze and had to hold the power button on the Wii for 10 seconds to reset the system. Could not get it to read any other files on DVD apart from a back up dvd movie structure. Would not play any original DVD movies. Can play video files from SD card fine...and most appear to stretch automaticall to fit screen (nice touch).

No access to external hard drive like other media players for the Wii..shame....i think what is needed is for all the different people working on media players for the Wii to get together and incorporate all their player in one excellent player. then you could get USB support, dvd play back, network support, sd card support all in one lovely media player....one day i suppose.

Also had alot of freezes while using it and had to reset Wii

Great work so far..but a little way to go yet...LOL
