Why do I need IOS 202 to play DVDs on the WiiMC?

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!

Unlike MPlayer CE, WiiMC does not support DVDx, so you need IOS 202 to play DVDs with it. Installing a trucha bugged IOS is not at all dangerous, and since you have use for one, there is no reason not to do so.

Okayn thanks. But why does it say "use with caution" then?

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....

Team Twiizers could release a new DVDX that uses a higher IOS, yes. But they haven't and don't plan to. It'll be handled by HBC itself instead.

HBC will enable DVD access before loading apps? That'll be nice.

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 !
