The wii is about 4 or 5 years old got home brew on it can i watch a film on a hard drive on it
You should be fine for DVDs then, and yes, as metroid_maniac mentioned, you can use WiiMC to play video files from a hard drive (assuming you mean a USB hard drive). For the record, WiiMC can play media content (videos, music, images) from a variety of sources: DVD, USB, SD card, over WiFi by SMB (streaming from a computer on local network), online videos (e.g. YouTube, various other streaming stuff).]]> SifJar Homebrew GeneralFri, 25 Jan 2013 01:54:33 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72390#msg-72390 Re: dvdhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72390#msg-72390 metroid_maniac Homebrew GeneralThu, 24 Jan 2013 22:34:56 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72386#msg-72386 Re: dvdhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72386#msg-72386 col72 Homebrew GeneralThu, 24 Jan 2013 20:36:46 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72385#msg-72385 Re: dvdhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72385#msg-72385
If you have a newer Wii, WiiMC will fail to play DVDs, due to a hardware limitation. Unfortunately there is no way around that, and so if you have one of these newer Wiis, you will not be able to play DVDs, and this isn't something that could change with a software update or anything like that.]]> SifJar Homebrew GeneralThu, 24 Jan 2013 20:22:56 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72383#msg-72383 Re: dvdhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72383#msg-72383Or use WiiMC]]> metroid_maniac Homebrew GeneralThu, 24 Jan 2013 20:16:29 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72382#msg-72382 dvdhttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,72382,72382#msg-72382 col72 Homebrew GeneralThu, 24 Jan 2013 20:08:17 +0100
