dvd playback?

I know the hardware is disabled by default so I can't watch dvds but what about this.

Since it doesn't say homebrew and is using another chanel they invented would this also be considered a hack and brick my system. I'm using 4.1 and don't want 4.2 yet untull i look into this.

Just buy a cheap DVD player you can pick them up really cheap

Get a DVD player. Or even better get a TV with a built in VHS player. Too bad the sound on mine is busted when I play VHS tapes. Otherwise I'd be sleeping with my TV right now.

Anyways, yeah. Why fiddle with your Wii when you can just get a cheap DVD player?

...Wait, that doesn't sound quite right.

Because I don't want a separate one. I want to use the same port. I have limited hookups on my tv as is. It would be nice to do it all from the same thing without switching inputs every time.

It seems like more of a hassle to screw around with your Wii and mod it rather than just switching plugs. I switch plugs for my five systems, computer, phone, and PSP about 8 times a day on average. It really isn't that big of a deal.

Anyways, I'd just buy a long shock protector and one of those multi-AV ports for the small colored cables.

just install homebrew man its easy and pretty safe. DVDx comes with the bootmii/bannerbomb exploit and does just what you want

0078265317 · 10-13-2009, 04:30 PM

Homebrew is not safe. People updating to 4.2 will get b ricked and ruin their units. Search here it happens.

rukus · 10-22-2009, 09:10 PM

auto updating is not safe, home brew is, when you know what youre doing.
dvd x works great.

0078265317 · 10-22-2009, 10:22 PM

Well I'm sorry I already updated by accident so homebrew for me.

I accept with information:Get a DVD player. Or even better get a TV with a built in VHS player. Too bad the sound on mine is busted when play VHS tapes.

home brew works with 4.2 now. actually, the new bannermomb/bootmii was released stable the day after the update.

theres no stopping it, man and Ive had homebrew since the very first menu and my system works just fine

rukus · 11-17-2009, 03:19 PM
