How To Play A Dvd On Your Nintendo Wii

The Nintendo Wii is truly an amazing machine. For such a small piece of equipment it has a lot of power. However, in comparison to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii is missing some important features that keep it from being the number one multimedia console.

The Nintendo Wii was never intended to be a DVD player, but there’s an easy way to turn the Wii into a DVD player and get rid of the DVD player in your home entertainment system.

Here is what you need to do to enable DVD playback on your Wii. We will not be installing a mod chip into your Wii, this solution does require a free software file that possibly voids the Wii’s warranty. Just be aware that this could break your Wiitendo Wii; you’ve been warned. Follow these steps and you should be ok.

To start with, install the Wii Homebrew Channel onto your Wii using the Twilight Princess hack. Do a online search on Bing and those steps are not hard to find.

After the Homebrew Channel is installed, whichever method you choose to use, install MPlayer. MPlayer is a small media player that will let you run the DVD disc like a regular DVD player. You can find it in the same place as the Homebrew Channel. Again, not hard to find.

Retrieve and install the DvdX loader program. This file somewhat changes your Wii’s system and thus starts the playback of the DVD.

Now that everything is installed, take stock of where you are. Everything still good to go? Good. Start up the Homebrew channel and begin MPlayer. You’ll see a menu that will let you choose the DVD and then begin the DVD just like you would on a common DVD player.

Once Wii Homebrew is installed there are hundreds of other things you can do, like play old NES, SNES, and N64 games, even listen to your CDs. Have fun with you Nintendo Wii console.
