DVDx isn't just for enabling DVD playback, it is also needed for any homebrew that is able to run stuff off of a DVD, such as the Homebrew Disc Loader, ftpii, emulators*, and the Backup Loader*. The Wii Homebrew Launcher also requires DVDx. *This statement does not condone or advise the use of any software for purposes of piracy or other illegal activites.


If you have stuff working, although since 3.4 blocks PatchMii, I'm confused as to how a PatchMii install succeeded, I would avoid updating. I would actually consider downgrading to 3.2 with Tonas AnyRegion Changer. Use Gecko OS to bypass the update.

Out of curiosity, what game are you playing that is asking for an update under 3.4?

I read somewhere that the backup loader channel* bypasses the update procedure so i tried it and it worked *just want to note that im not using it to play backups, only to bypass the updater. I just decided that having taken ages to get dvdx working i didnt want to risk updating and losing it all.

The game didnt actually say i had to update to 3.4, just had to update..having typed that i just realised its obviously 3.4 as im on 3.3 now! Sorry, going back to work after christmas has made me a bit slow! Im not sure if the game is out in the US (Im in the UK), It was Sports Island

There is actually 2 versions of 3.3, the initial release, and then an updated/patched version that was released on Oct 23rd...it could have just wanted to put ver 2 of 3.3 on.

I guess I misread one of your posts...I thought you HAD 3.4, and a game was wanting to update that. lol It makes sense that you got dvdx to run with the PatchMii install now! :P

well my home theater comes with dvd/divx/mp4/mp3/wma/jpg/ogg... playing capabilities and more and more people are buying the divx/dvd players ... they are very cheap now... so trekster has a point y would you do that to your wii... and the answer is simple... Because you CAN!... lol...

in all seriousness i really think its too make things "easier"

i for instance... only have 1 RWB connection to my tv *the wii doesnt need componet cables period!*

so i have my wii hooked up, and my Sega Nomad xD and Saturn *i play the saturn more than the wii -,_-,*

so my tv is missing
videos
dvd's
blu ray
etc

i would buy one of the PC connect cords but those are like 80 usd for my tv -.- so obviously this would be a better solution than buying the things needed to do what i want... but in my case i love my laptop and am on it 80% of the time im awake xD

some of those things you said are not correct:

ftpii and the newest version of the backup loader (0.3 gamma) don't need dvdx at all. what does ftpii has to do with dvd playback anyway???

and emulators don't necessarily need dvdx, only if you wan't to play roms using a dvd, which would be quite stupid considering you can use a sd card...well maybe it makes n64 roms playable but i don't know actually ^^


and as far as i know you can't simply downgrade a 3.4 system using anyregionchanger...i never tried but most people say it doesn't work.

you have to use waninkokos cIOS downgrader....i used this method and it definitely works ^^
