[TUTORIAL] Launch DVD-Video on your wii!

Post by Tgames »

Automatically translated from French.

[TUTO] Lancer des DVD-Vidéo sur sa wii ! Here's a tutorial explaining how to play store-bought DVD-Videos on an unmodded wii!

For modded wiis please do not follow this tutorial!!

As you know the wii doesn't have the ability to play movie DVDs on it, but hackers made it possible.


IMPORTANT: Neither I nor the Tgames forum can be held responsible for any problems resulting from the use of this tutorial. So be aware that you use it at your own risk.

IMPORTANT: Remove all peripherals from your Wii during installation, that is: Controller, DVD, Memory card, USB peripherals etc... (No need to remove the SD card).



PS: You'll still be able to use the backups at the end of this tutorial.

Required materials:


- A Wii on a version lower than 3.3V2.
- An SD card.
- The homebrew channel. (See HERE to install it)
- A way to read your SD card via your computer.
- The pack to download.


The pack contains: (Download the ready to use pack: Pack Ready To Use By Tgames.rar - 2.34MB)


- DVDX Installer
- Mplayer DVDx Edition


I) Preparing the SD card

- Put your SD card in your computer.
- Copy/paste the folders: "Dvdx" and "mplayer" into the "apps" folder of your SD card.


II) Installing DVDX

- Put your SD card in your Wii.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Turn on your Wii then go to the homebrew channel.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Launch "DVDX Installer".


Image unavailable (removed by its host)


- Choose "Normal Install".
- Follow the instructions
- Choose "Exit"


II) Using MplayerDVDX Edition

- Put your SD card in your Wii.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Turn on your Wii then go to the homebrew channel.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Launch "Mplayer".


Image unavailable (removed by its host)


- Choose "DVD-Video".
- Insert a DVD Video disc


Image unavailable (removed by its host)


- Choose "Play Title #1".
- Enjoy your movie.



III) Installing DVDx for use in homebrews

- Put your SD card in your Wii.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Turn on your Wii then go to the homebrew channel.

Image unavailable (removed by its host)
- Launch "DVDX Installer".


Image unavailable (removed by its host)


- Choose "Advanced Install".
- Move the cursor to IOS 249
- Choose "Install"
- Choose "Exit"


Now you can use the LibDVD function in homebrews like emulators, MPlayer (version that reads Divx on DVDs) etc...

MPlayerWii r20 modified by AgentX: This version supports video files burned on DVD-Rs.

Snes9x GX: This version supports roms burned on DVD-Rs.

Genesis Plus: This version supports roms burned on DVD-Rs.

And plenty of other programs too... ;)

Yeah :D So cool
But I can't manage to play the version modified by agentx, I do create a folder in apps but the homebrew channel doesn't see it, otherwise I replaced mplayer's .dol with agentx's and nothing either, so what should I do to be able to play my precious DivX??

Right I tried a normal DVD, it works but :93: :93: I can't manage to press "enter" like on a remote, so I'm stuck at the language choice X) can you tell me how to do it??

Otherwise for the divX, did you actually put the .dol and the patch in a folder by themselves and then in apps??

No there are things to put at the root.

Normal, the DVD remote isn't emulated.

So you can't navigate in the menus... ;)

Right this time I manage to launch the movie ^^ But the screen is veeeery often jerky and when it does it too much it shows me a black page with "DSI error occurred" and lots of numbers and letters and I have to hold power for a long time to turn off my wii, isn't this a problem with DivX installer?? I tried normal and advanced install, nothing! I'm on 3.3v1 for info ^^

Set yourself to 3.2, that's surely where the problem comes from! ;)

No, a downgrade doesn't make you lose anything, no worries about that ;)

:cry: :cry: I downgraded to 3.2 but I get exactly the same problems, this time I give up, I'm going to use a good DivX player to watch my movies ^^

PS: if it's my tv (that would surprise me) I'll have to get a new one soon because mine is old ^^

hi,
thanks for this tutorial but I had read on another site (sorry I don't remember which one :roll: ) that if you install the cios for mplayer dvd you couldn't launch backups with cios36 rev 07.


P.S: I had the same problems as you gotrunks so I gave up and I confirm to you that it's not the tv

Plus no problem at all when I play a DVD :shock:

No, I could also still play backups, but I think the Cios rev 7 is better anyway ^^ Otherwise I have the impression, and I do mean the impression, that since I installed divX, my wii has been a little slow oO, so I put Cios rev 7 back on, anyway I can't play DVDs ^^

You follow the tutorial by doing "PatchMii Install" and not "Normal Install" ;)

But normally chips already know how to play video DVDs ;)

Worst case do "Normal Install" and test if it works ;)
