@Jtn: Me, at least for now (since my DVD player is skipping like crazy-go-nuts).

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

Countering the first sentence of the article, Nintendo gave a very good reason for not making the Wii a DVD player. It costs more money.

Here's the thing you might not know, unless you've followed the court cases behind Libdvdcss2. DVD playback is not free or open-licensed, and the MPAA and it's mother the IFPI consider Libdvdcss2 to be illegal in many of the markets the Wii is sold in. DVD playback is proprietary and carries a financial cost.

Sure, in hindsight Nintendo could have payed out for the DVD support, and still have made a profit. However, lets all be honest, nobody expected the Wii to be a profitable game machine. Outside of Ubisoft, all other major 3rd party publishers and developers had absolutely no long term Wii development plans even as little as 2 years ago.

Combining the sales expectations with Nintendo's history of insuring that their game console would generate a profit on each sale from day one, there just wasn't a place in the Wii's price point to absorb paying off the royalties on DVD playback.

Of course, now that Nintendo's making money at a pace that is making Team Ninja reconsider where they got their money hats from, paying for DVD playback seems trivial. Personally, I'd rather see a ruling that Libdvdcss2 is legal, and that after this time DVD playback should qualify as a royalty-free and non-patentable standard.

Of course, all of this doesn't exactly explain why Nintendo still doesn't support the royalty and patent free Ogg video and audio formats...

Saist

@grendell: I looked this up and have seen some other posts to that regard.

Are you absolutely sure this information comes from a reputable source and isn't just some mythical FUD? It's not entirely beyond reason... but it could also have been just another excuse for the lack of DVD playback's inclusion.

On the surface, it doesn't necessarily seem all that different from Sony's "Rumble AND motion sensing?!? Can't be done!" and we can see how that turned out.

Not that I need another DVD player... just seems a rather curious point.

dv8godd

@grendell: From what I understand, streaming from a DVD is within the hardware specs. The reason Nintendo didn't include playback in the software is because the related licensing fees would put them beyond their price-point.

Gann

While I'm a big fan of the Wii and the Homebrew stuff, I already have about 1000 DVD players. I don't exactly need another. Good tutorial though!

Platypus Man

I HIGHLY recommend installing geexbox for the wii. It can be ran straight from the homebrew channel. It plays videos of any format straight from your SD card.

Oh, and you can also plug a keyboard and/or external HD into the USB slots and use that too. That's not very useful since my SD card is 1GiB and my external is only 250GiB though.

FreeChaos

@Jtn: Not me.

Methusalah

Great, another article that is based entirely off the hard work of other individuals, with no credit given.

At the very least put a disclaimer saying that modifying your Wii could cause problems later.

balls187 upside yo head

and playing games for 2 hours arent strenuous on the drive then? it's most likely semilar or lesser strain on the hardware. and it's not like a wii can break, it isnt a 360 you know... XD

Antwhan

I'd hate to sound like Nintendo, but who honestly needed their Wii to be a DVD player anyway?

Jtn

I would caution against this, as streaming a movie from a DVD is very strenuous on the Wii's drive. It simply wasn't designed to do this.

grendell

Nice, but since the Wii only has Left and Right audio plugs, the best you could get is Pro Logic 2 sound.

dry-roasted-peanuts

Since the Wii has the hardware to play DVD's, I'm wondering if we'll see Nintendo in the near future enabling it. For now I guess it's homebrew channel ftw!

stephensilva20

looks good. but everything is a dvd player now, I want to see what the homebrew can do.

goatmale

What kind of risks are associated with downloading the Homebrew Channel? Will the Wii brick in future updates? Or will the channel just stop functioning until a newer version comes out?

Also, does this allow region free gaming?

TheWP

Copy your legit TP save to another SD card, then reload it after installing the channel.

PapaGamer

What if I want to keep my TP save? I haven't tried, but will copying it to the SD card, then onto my computer, and re-copying it after the homebrew is installed, work? Some people buy games to play them, afterall :P

aaziz

@chareverie: @chareverie: That would be great, but it is called the TWILIGHT hack for a reason.

pyromaniac

DVD playback aside, the Homebrew Channel is a pretty sweet development, and it's great to see they've made it so easy to do - it gets the software out to more people to enjoy, lowering the barrier of entry to the homebrew scene. It appears that the Homebrew Channel goes in as just a standard channel, once installed, so while I guess it's possible that a future firmware update could make it unusable, you should be able to simply delete the channel before doing the update if that should ever happen. Risk should be very low.

Playing Quake on the Wii with Wiimote controls is a pretty neat experience. There's also obviously the emulation benefits for games that haven't shown up on the Virtual Console, or may never do so, but it's hard to know whether that's a plus or a minus in the longterm since it's the thing most likely to make Nintendo try to shut this down.

EricL

@chareverie: Unfortunately, the Wii version of Twilight Princess is the only game it works with at this time. You only need it once, though, so you could rent it or borrow it from a friend.

Flyne

What about subtitles? Additional audio channels (like commentary)? Camera angles? No thanks. If my DVD player blows up on a bad disc (not out of the question with three kids in the house), it costs me $40 to replace it. If my Wii blows up on a bad disc it would never be replaced (not that I would care after my wife killed me) because I don't have the $250+ (for re-purchasing VC games) to buy a new one.

Not only that; but, once you venture into hack-land on the Wii, you're in the land of the warez-wars where Nintendo disables your hack-tastic DVD player every time they update the System Menu and you have to watch the hack sites trying to keep up with the big N.

Again, no thanks. This is too much trouble to go through to replace a cheap piece of equipment.

PapaGamer

Something to note: it will break if you change the name of the mplayer folder. Don't do that.

Also, to prevent unneeded Googling, the largest collection of homebrew applications is hosted at Wiibrew, though it is by no means complete: see also TehSkeen (look for the Wii icon on the upper left of posts).

Also also, note that there are sites which allow you to do things which definitely break copyright and will also possibly break your Wii. Avoid these.

Flyne

@grendell: I've heard this as a rumor, but never read a substantiated confirmation. Do you have a source to back that up? It seems absurd that Nintendo would install DVD drives incapable of playing back DVDs, which any cheap DVD player can do.

@balls187 upside yo head: I'm by no means claiming credit, I'm just walking through how it works. Did you miss this part:

"The secret sauce lies in the Twilight Princess game. Essentially, we're going to load a fake game into Twilight Princess that exploits a buffer overflow and allows you install homebrew software on your Wii.

Sound complicated? Figuring it out may have been, but the excellent Wii hackers have made exploiting the Twilight hack is a cinch."

@Saist: Thanks for the added history, that's good to know.

Adam Pash

@Adam Pash

I'd love to do this, but I'm worried about future (system) upgrades to the Wii from Nintendo... Are there any know issues with HomeBrew causing upgrade issues???

longxiongdi

This is really interesting. Though does anyone know if you *have* to use Twilight Princess for this? Are there any other game titles you can use to substitute?

chareverie

@Gann: Maybe what Nintendo needs to do is add a DVD channel which you simply pay the license fee for. That way you get to decide whether its worth paying extra for the DVD functionality and Nintendo simply pays the license fee based on that. Then again there may be support issue which would need to be covered too.

twilight-arc

Generally when playing a game, the assets are read off the disc and cached in internal memory during a "loading" screen. Reads from memory are outrageously faster than disc. A disc hit during gameplay is never a good thing, unless it's background streaming, which most Wii titles probably don't do in the first place. So yes, streaming constantly from a movie DVD is definitely more stressful.

I'm not saying it's impossible, because clearly it is, I'm just suggesting that your Wii probably won't live as long. That combined with the fact that everything but my toaster can play DVDs well makes me steer clear of this. :)

grendell

@Billkwando: And knowing is half the battle!

TheWP

@TheWP: There are a couple region-free programs at Wiibrew.

The Wii *could* brick with future updates, but it won't. The worst that could happen is Nintendo would disable your HB Channel through a download or disc update, or ban you from their fantastic online multiplayer. Wouldn't that be a shame?

Actually, they could ban you from the VC and Wiiware I suppose, but I doubt they'd turn down money (then again, M$ does this).

At very least, it's impossible to delete the TP hack from your system logs, so even if you delete it, you've still voided your warranty.

I have the TP hack, so I'm not trying to discourage anyone.

Billkwando

I just did this last week when the hack was announced. Easy to do, and fun to see all the homebrew it opens up to.

jesterpb

The problem with this is that the Wii isn't meant to stream disc-based content live, and this could SERIOUSLY deteriorate your Wii's lifetime if used enough.

metaslugx

Just a quick question: Do you need to have Twilight after the initial setup stage, or do you just need it for that one time and then you can access the Homebrew channel at any time thereafter.

So, can I just borrow Twilight Princess off a friend or do I need to own it?

Thanks in advance.

Books

Reason Nintendo left it out of the wii was obviously to make it more profitable. Didn't want to license the dvd player.

Yes, this would be great for folks with a minimal entertainment center or folks who only have ONE av input.

This program isn't ready for primetime usage yet. It still has way to many bugs for the average user and should be avoided until they work everything out. That video released a few days ago showing this app off looked to me like a proof of concept.

Hopefully with it's recent media attention we will see more updates to fix the problems preventing this from being a killer app.

thatdecade

@Books:

You only need it once, feel free to borrow.

slowmotiony

I heard the reason they didn't put it in was because of codec licensing issues, which makes sense. I mean, who doesn't own a DVD player these days?

Phoshi

@grendell: This is FUD. Wii drives are just as reliable as a normal DVD drive and in fact many games have a near constant level of access to the disk while playing.

@Platypus Man: This also means that it's likely soon you'll be able to store your homebrew on a DVD rather than a cramped SD card.

@chareverie: The people responsible for the TP hack state that many games have similar flaws but they haven't released saved games for them. If you dont' want to shell out the $40 for the game, rent it for a day. You'll only need it once anyhow.

@Flyne: Additionally, the installer reffered to in the tutorial installs the excellent Homebrew Browser, which will handle installing a good portion of the "useful" homebrew apps/games out there directly on the Wii.

@PapaGamer: If your Wii dies and you've tied to your Nintendo Account to your Wii, your purchases will carry over to the replacement Wii if you tell big N.

@TheWP: There are some risks, if big N became stupid. However, since you own the console, they don't have the right to tell you you can't do this. So it's unleikely they'd "kill" your Wii. So far, the most they've done was in the last update, where they 'deleted corrupt saves' (hint:they only deleted the old version of the TP save game) and prevented you from copying it back over. This was rolled out on a Friday and defeated by the next Monday. And yet there are apps out there that allow region free paly. Just be careful the game you are playing isn't one that installs system updates or you could have problems with your system menu that would require a bit of extra effort on your part to fix

Merricat

This seems cool but I think I'll hold off until it can play, er, backed up DVDs :D

zhinker

I certainly wouldn't mind my Wii being a DVD player. That would allow me to eliminate one more device from my entertainment cabinet.

phoomp

@Books: Just rent, hack, and take back.

@Merricat: I'm pretty sure they won't replace your VC games if you voided your warranty.

Billkwando

I'll tell you one good thing about DVD Video playback.
My 360 wasn't reading discs until I got a DVD player cleaner disc with the little brushes. It sorted out my 360.
But I can't use it on the Wii as the cleaner disc is like a DVD video disc. Load it in the 360 and you get a menu including picture and sound tests as well as the run cleaner option.
Maybe if Ninty had included DVD video playback they wouldn't need to take in people's Wii consoles when Smash Bros came out and clean all those lenses.

Red_Breast

where can I find a list of the homebrew games available? I don't care about dvd playback (having a ps3 and all) and such but I'd love to try some GOOD games for wii.

Quine

@twilight-arc: A DVD channel would be cool. I wonder what the cost would be for a single DVD playback license.

Gann

@twilight-arc: I'd vote for a Wii channel that allowed you to pay for the DVD playback option on your machine too. For some it would be useful in that you'd have fewer machines to have to dust around the TV. Plus with a Wii supported channel updates would be easier.

quail

@phoomp: Nah, it's not good enough to replace a real DVD player yet. Don't forget about subtitles and surround sound and all that good stuff.

Billkwando

@grendell:

It's a DVD drive. Nintendo doesn't make them - they buy them. They are all designed to play DVD's. Every single one of them.

HackJenkins

Something I don't think was mentioned: to navigate menus you need to hold the 2 button. then you can navigate with the D-pad, and A confirms a selection.

bodah

So what is the best route to take when new Wii updates are released? Delete the HBC, re-rent the game and reinstall everything?

Or wait until we see a way around the update? I am confused. Didn't the last update disable the HBC making you reinstall the new one?

What do those of us do that don't want to BUY the game.

Bwangster12

@Merricat:

I assume I will need to RE-RENT the Zelda: TP game if I am in the group of people who decide to delete the channel prior to a Wii Update to be on the safe side?

Bwangster12

So I feel as if there is an obvious answer to this question... but if we install this, and a new Wii update comes out, and we want to delete the channel before we install the update...

We will need Zelda: Twilight Princess again to REINSTALL the HomeBrew Channel and hack?

Bwangster12

Based on my experiences with XBMC on my Xbox, it's probably best to let this homebrew simmer a bit before jumping in. Even today, alot of the scripts that I try to run on XBMC bomb out and force me to manually reboot the machine. It gets to be pretty annoying. Also, I'd like to see some more media center type functionality as well.

Of course, I'd probably be itching to do this a lot more if I actually had a Wii. :D

quagmire0

@Merricat:

Wait I'm confused... so the latest Wii Update now prevents NEW installs of the HBC?

If I were to install the HBC and wait for the "big dogs" to test it... what would be the solution? Would they release an update thru the HBC browser circumventing the updates issues? Or would they say to uninstall and reinstall?

Bwangster12

@FreeChaos: Why didn't I know that 2/3 weeks ago? I've just invested time and hard earned cash buying and xbox with xbmc for this same principle!

danejb92

@monkofevil: Wiibrew is oldish (didn't really pick up steam till late May), however the DVD library allowing access to the drive with an unmodified (i.e. no mod chips) and a mplayer binary built to utilize it are new as of this month.

Merricat

@Jtn:

As a college student with only one console (the Wii) and not a lot of money or space, having my Wii play DVDs would make my life a little easier.

That said, I'm buying a standalone DVD player this week, because I don't want to take the risk of hacking my Wii, but yeah, I can see more than just that one circumstance where being able to replace a DVD player with a Wii would make life just that much easier for somebody. The majority of people may not need it (who doesn't have a DVD player these days?) but if you don't have a lot of room, or you don't want a lot of electronics cluttering up a room, having your Wii double as a DVD player could come in pretty handy, and there's not really a very good reason not to have that feature enabled.

amaranthinenight

@Bwangster12: The last update blocked the ability to install the HBC by blocking the original version of the TP save game from being installed and deleting it if it already were. The HBC was untouched. And the best route to take with system updates is to wait on applying them till after the 'big dogs' in the homebrew community have played with them to see what happens.

Merricat

@Billkwando: You are wrong. As long as you registered your Wii (and have the serial number), and have your Nintendo account linked in the store, you can call up Nintendo and they will walk you through the process of transfering the authorization to a new Wii. At that point, just as you could with your orginal Wii if you deleted a game, you can redownload all the items you have purchased.

Merricat

The wiibrew stuff has been around for an extremely long time.
Really.
I read an article about this on RMRK like 6 weeks ago.
And for those people looking to give credit to the hack team, (Adam) The team is "Team Twiizers."
And this is safe, it doesn't even void warranty, because you aren't using it in a way that they told you not to. So if, and it's a big if, your DVD drive fails, or your wii has a very short life, you are still covered by warranty.

monkofevil

@PapaGamer: You say that as if DVD playback is the only benefit of going Homebrew. Between the SNES emulator, ScummVM, and Quake, I'm definitely getting more out of it than I lose having to double-check with wiibrew beore doing a system update.

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

@Bwangster12: The last update prevented the 'original' TP hacked save from being installed and/or deleted it if you already had it as a save game. However the protection they introduced was actually beaten within a week of the update being pushed out. A result of that was a new save game that the protection doesn't catch, and a spiffy installer for the whole package, where I had to do all the file copying on my own.

As to what you would do after you installed HBC and an update came out that 'broke' something homebrew related. That would necessarily depend on the nature of the update. So far, this last update was the only update that did anything at all homebrew related and all it did was delete saves.

Merricat

This would be cool if I could get my Wii to play xvid/divx files off my network (like by boxes of x.)
I have tried Orb with the Wii... and well.. I did not actually say "weee"...
So I am wondering if it is possible with the very limited resources on a Wii..

btgoss

@Bwangster12:

I mean, I'd eventually want those Nintendo Updates... so how would I get one that lets say does something to my HBC? If an updated reported that it did something, I'd have to delete the Channel first right? Then I'd need the Zelda game again to reinstall the new HBC/hack after the update was installed?

Bwangster12

I want to try this, BUT, what can go wrong? can Nintendo block my console somehow or will I be able to keep updating the console.

This guide only explains the good, not the bad...

VakeroRokero

So... if I rent the game, install the HBC/hack, and then just wait after updates are released by Nintendo... would a work around by the "bigdogs" ever need me to have the Zelda game again?

Bwangster12

So far, as far as I know, new firmware updates have only prevented Homebrew Channel installation (by disabling the TP save hack), and that was only temporary - it had been gotten around within a week. You can install HBC on the current firmware just fine, I did it last week. :)

I don't believe any firmware updates thus far have actually disabled or in any way impacted the installed channel, though. That may change in the future, I suppose.

EricL

@Bwangster12: If you don't want to buy the game, rent the game. Simple as that. There's no way to install the HBC that does not involve Twilight Princess in some way, shape, or form.

HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak

@Bwangster12: In the hypothetical that Nintendo released an update that messed with the HBC itself and not the TP save hack, then yes you'd want to uninstall it, preferably after copying the channel to your SD card for easy reinstallation if possible. Since the HBC is a channel, you can do that. The only problem would be if Nintendo prevented you from copying it back from the card. But since the channel is signed by your Wii when you install it, if you were able to copy it back from the card you'd be gold. The only time you'd need to do a full reinstall is if Nintendo did something that prevented you from reinstalling the channel direct.

If they did, then it'd be possible that at that point you'd need to us the TP exploit again to reinstall the HBC. But if it went that far, then Nintendo probably also has blocked the TP exploit and what you'd actually have to do is wait for someone to come up with some other way of getting it installed. High odds are on that being using a different game with its own hacked save.

Merricat

I have a cheat code program I like to run because I like to cheat :p Since no action replay has come out yet this thing is awesome and works great, except in TP because it uses the hack so some of the music is screwy otherwise it's great.

pokebud

This is actually really handy for me. I was a pretty early adopter and the first person I knew with a DVD player and I dragged this great big old black thing around with me until I moved in with someone who had a PS2 for playing DVDs in the living room so I gave my player to my Dad. I just moved into a house with different people, neither of which have a DVD player or console since we all have PCs in our rooms. My Wii will make add a tidy little feature to the living room and it'll save us having to find somewhere to balance another piece of hardware.

It's much easier to find room for an upright Wii than another wide and flat thing like a DVD player.

Twinnie

It's really crude, but at least it's something. The borders it places around the picture make it impractical for use on my plasma(the upscaled picture I get from my PS3 doesn't have that), but it's infinitely useful as a relatively portable, fully functional DVD player, perhaps for trips or just any time you want to watch a video and there's nothing else around. I don't like to bring my PS3 and 360 around places (like my cottage), so it's nice to be able to squeeze extra functionality out of my only "mobile" home console. Watching a movie in 480i sure beats watching it on a MacBook screen.

Styyl

@HeartBurnKid, creepy morbid freak: That's what my PC is for; and I don't have to hack it or worry about my system being bricked. I use my Wii to play Wii games. I play DVDs on a DVD player. I play emulators &c. on my PC. Trying to turn the Wii into an all-purpose machine is like trying to hammer nails with a screwdriver.

PapaGamer

Nice article Adam, you the man!

djruden

@Jtn: "I'd hate to sound like Nintendo, but who honestly needed their Wii to be a DVD player anyway? "

Parents. Seeing as the Wii is meant to be connected to a TV, it would be a very convenient single-unit device you can connect to a TV to play both games and DVDs. This is also nice in that you wouldn't need multiple inputs or sets of cables on/for your TV.

It would also be nice for travel too, so you can bring a Wii with you somewhere, and also be able to play DVDs on it without needing to bring another device. Before people start saying "OMG why bring games when you travel" and such, here are some examples: bringing it to a friend's house, attaching it to a projector for a kids'/frat/old folks' party, or keeping kids occupied in a hotel room during travel downtime.

Chef

@Merricat: I'd be happy to be wrong, but you're talking about a new Wii. What I'm saying is I don't think they'd do that if you send yours in for repair. They'd be able to tell if it's modified.

Billkwando

How about a freely installable Opera browser so I don't have to chunk out 5 bucks for something that's FOSS and that Nintendo should have included for free?

englishman

Now if there was only a way to make it into a hackintosh, it would be a great hack :P

Bwangster12

Does this process allow playback of game backups?

pineshome

Alright I think I am finally understanding.

Q: After installing the Homebrew Channel using the twilight princess hack, will the Homebrew channel still function if I delete the twilight princess hack and reinstall my original save file?
A: Yes. Once the Homebrew Channel is installed, the twilight hack save is no longer required.

I gather that all Nintendo has done thusfar to hinder any of this is to cause issues with the Twilight Princess Save file needed to install the HBC. However, once that HBC is installed, the TP hacked save file is no longer needed anyway... so what they did didn't cause probs for people who already installed the HBC. Shortly after a new TP hack was released allowing new users to install the HBC again.

So thusfar... nothing has been done to hinder the HBC itself once installed. Just the TP hacked save file for those looking to do this the first time? And we strongly don't think anything will be done to those once installed? They will just keep blocking save files for those installing for the first time?

Bwangster12

@Billkwando: If you send yours in for repair, and they repair it. Then one of two things has happened. They've either returned you your original Wii or they've given you a "new" one.

In the first event you simply need to redownload your games. In the second event, they will have moved your authorization over to the new Wii as part of the process and (Surprise!) you simply need to redownload your games. This is standard. They don't have some super secret CSI group at the repair depot going over WHY your machine is bricked, they don't care.

If they don't repair it, for some odd reason, then my original comments still stand.

Either way, you are wrong. Period.

You might invalidate your warranty but you aren't risking eternal damnation and loss of all your games by softmoding your Wii.

@Bwangster12:You got it. And they are only blocking the old version of the save files. If you are using the ones installed by the links given in this tutorial, you won't even run into that issue.

Merricat

The one thing I don't get is why Nintendo doesn't just block the HomeBrew Channel and prevent us from doing this. Can't they do that? Or is that like somehow illegal to prevent you from doing this to your "own property?"

Bwangster12

Hmm some people wonder about subtitles. I tried it just a few minutes ago, and yes subtitles work. I had to select the right subtitle, and did something to enable disable enable the subtitles and they showed up. Yes a little bit buggy, but it works.

Mark_Monster

I'm not having a great deal of luck with this. I got the homebrew channel installed alright, but all of the apps lock up at 0% on the load bar. Any suggestions?

DogHead

@Bwangster12: I think Nintendo knows it doesn't allow backups so they don't care, and any kids that can mod the Wii, probably won't buy anything on the Virtual Store since they already have thousands of roms, the old games are for people that are finding out about the old games being available again...

VakeroRokero

@Adam Pash: I don't think I've seen anyone comment about this on this tip yet, but there's a difference between the way the Wii reads game DVDs and how a normal DVD drive reads DVDs.

I keep getting them mixed up, but IIRC the Wii keeps the disc spinning at a constant linear speed (meaning the disc doesn't have to change speeds as the laser moves along). Other DVD drives will keep the disc spinning to maintain a constant angular speed so the bit the laser is looking at seems to be the same speed the whole time. Forcing a Wii to do this will most definitely make its drive lifetime go down.

Eclipsor

Nevermind, got it. Anyone having a problem getting the apps to load probably just needs to unplug the gamecube memory card(s).

DogHead

@englishman: Opera is not FOSS, it is actually freeware for computers. It charges for licenses for use on devices such as phones, media players, and in this case the Wii. As such don't blame Nintendo for having to pay, blame capitalism.

Opera used to charge for use on computers and eventually came out with a "free" version that was ad-supported, but it wasn't until version 8 or so that it became freeware.

ixel

@Doghead, I had the same trouble at first, the problem was you can't have any gamecube things plugged in like memory cards and such.
