The directions are nearly identical to what is up above, you just need to download different files. To get to the menu from the homebrew channel, hit the home button again and then exit. Or you can press the home button on your wiimote and either reboot the wii to get back to the wii menu, or return to loader to go back to the homebrew channel. Once that is done you can either look around and see what else there is to download (there is tons of stuff).Go to the Media section and find MPlayer CE (Christmas Edition) and click download.Go ahead and update the browser if it prompts you. It took me a couple hours to figure that out. After you’ve done everything in the readme file open the homebrew channel and go to the homebrew browser.Ī) You now need to download the program that will play the DVDs and not all of them work.Go back to the readme file from before and start from step 3.I didn’t have any issues though.ī) For version 4.2, if you chose the 2nd option, you need to copy the contents of the hackmii installer zip file onto the SD card as well as the entire apps folder from the mplayer-ce zip file you downloaded. That you way won’t delete anything if it’s important. Highlight all of those folders and the boot.elf file and extract them to your SD card.Ī) If you already have a folder called private, you can rename it to privateold.Double-click the HackMii Installer folder to open it.You may need to tell the zip file to open with 7zip if you just downloaded that program. Open the zip file that you downloaded and open the readme.txt file.Put your SD card in your computer and go to My Computer or Computer in Vista and open your SD card.The first thing you want to do is download this zip file that the guy who did the video on youtube put together and save it to your Desktop, or somewhere else easy to get to.Ī) If you don’t have an extracting/unzipping program you can go here to download 7zip.I’ll type out a few things here to get you started, but I won’t type everything out since he has a readme file in the download that has it all step by step. You can go there and watch it if you want and come back to see what I had to do differently. I found this video on youtube explaining how to do it, but I had to do it a bit differently to get it to work. This is the way to make DVDs playable on your Wii, system 4.0 or above (mine is 4.1 right now and it works fine), without having to do the Zelda hack that I’m sure you’ve come across if you have found your way here. I do have to warn you that there is a possibility that you can brick your Wii (making it an expensive paper weight), so be aware of that before messing around with this. This isn’t normally something I would blog about since it isn’t computer related, but I figure enough people would want to do this that I would post it and I’m a tech geek in general so it fits.
