Why do I need IOS 202 to play DVDs on the WiiMC? And yet the MPlayer CE allows me to play DVDs without it? Is there a way to play DVDs on WiiMC without installing IOS 202, because I've tried and I got a message telling me to install a trucha bug, which I'm not really interested in, since it will change my Wii operating system, and could be dangerous. It's not that big of a deal, since the MPlayer CE works fine, I just prefer the WiiMC (smoother interface, looks great, allows you to navigate through a video more easily). Thanks!http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,55460,55460#msg-55460Mon, 07 Sep 2026 20:56:04 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,55460,70808#msg-70808 Re: Why do I need IOS 202 to play DVDs on the WiiMC?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,55460,70808#msg-70808

Hey MPlayer CE for me won't even read DVD's. I have DVDX installed and for some reason when I try the Wii MC it says "invalid DVD". I am so lost. Please help. I hacked my wii a few months ago and my wii is 3.5 years old now.

The Handbrake (free) is a good alternative application to DVDX, you can try it to re-encode your DVD-Video format for WiiMC. BTW, i advise you find the reason why Mplayer CE can not work, casue Mplayer CE is the best way to play DVD on WiiMac currently... Good luck !

DVDX also makes changes to your Wii software - it also gets installed. There's really no difference.

We've chosen not to support DVDX because that uses IOS36, which means crappy SD support and crappy wifi.

DVDX is going away soon anyway.

What makes you say that?

Also, couldn't you switch DVDx to use a newer IOS to get SDHC and more stable WiFi? Its just a TMD patch AFAIK. Although I guess to do that, you'll need the same as you would to install IOS202, so no real benefit....]]> SifJar Homebrew ApplicationsMon, 28 Jun 2010 13:51:18 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,55460,55466#msg-55466 Re: Why do I need IOS 202 to play DVDs on the WiiMC?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?17,55460,55466#msg-55466
