DVD Playback On (Modded) Wii

It’s been rumored since launch but, Nintendo hasn’t said a word about the DVD playing Wii. If you’re in absolute need of playing DVD’s on your Wii the fine folks over at Nintendo-Scene have found a way to do just that. “What do I have to do?” You ask. Well it’s simple. Or maybe not so simple. Here are the instructions:

Burn with clone CD, Boot in modded wii with homebrew based
mod programmed with YOASM 1.8 (I used a wii-boss).
When menu comes up then the hit “z” to unmount, change disc to DVD movie and hit “start” to play.

Don’t worry, I don’t get it either. I’m sure all you modders out there know exactly what that means. Please feel free to explain it to the rest of us. What I understand is you need a modded Wii, a burned copy of the software and a lot of patience.

The program is only in it’s “Beta 1.0″ phase. So don’t expect it to work flawlessly.

(Thanks, Nintendo-Scene.)
