You can erase the "boot.dol" file and the "private" directory if you'd like (we no longer need the Twilight Hack or Homebrew Channel installer as it updates automatically and can be removed just like any other Wii Channel).

even Linux!įor now, here's how to get DVD playback on your Wii with MPlayer.

Once you have the Homebrew Channel up and running, you can now install a slew of great third party apps such as emulators, homebrew games, media players. Now you can play all your favorite movies on your Wii! Install the DVD Playback Software After a minute or two, the HBC will be installed and can be accessed just like any other Channel on your Wii. Once you can control Link, walk backwards (weird, I know) until the Homebrew Channel installer starts. You should see the Twilight Hack save game. Insert your Zelda game disc and start the game. Switch to SD view in your Wii File Manager and copy over your correct version of the hack. It will either read "RVL-RZDE-0A-0" or "RVL-RZDE-0A-2" - both versions will work, but you need to make sure you apply the correct hack (RVL-RZDE-0A-0 requires TwilightHack0, RVL-RZDE-0A-2 requires TwilightHack2, both included in the package). If you care about your saved game, you can first copy it to your SD card and copy it back after you've installed HBC.īefore inserting Zelda into your Wii, flip it over and take note of the text on the inner ring. Insert the SD card into your Wii and delete your Zelda save file in the Wii File Manager (start a new game if you don't already have one). Also copy the Homebrew Channel "boot.dol" file. Insert your SD card into your reader and copy the "private" directory of the Twilight Hack onto it. There are essentially two main tasks here: installing the Homebrew Channel, and installing the DVD player. MPlayer: a Wii port of a media player that plays commercial DVDs.
