Hi All,
I feel completely lost right now. I am trying to hack my 4.3u wii to play dvds. I have already installed Homebrew, but now I need to install a media player to play my DVDS. The problem is that the only download I've come across is mplayerCE, but I'm working on a Mac computer. The file is an .exe file, and can only be opened on Windows. Can anyone please, please help? Thank you so much..
Wiimc is a good media player. Make sure your disc drive will play dvds with the latest version of syscheck.

Now if you want the best guide, in my opinion, to softmod your Wii. Follow the Softmod any Wii Guide, you can also use this guide to update your old softmod.
But before you do have a look at Thinking about hacking a wii? Start here! [A basic introduction to Wii hacking]. This will give you a better understanding of how things work in your Wii.
After you get your console sorted, you will need to find a way to backup your games. The best way is to copy them to an external hard drive or usb flash drive. You can copy them to DVD -r's, but only if your Wii's disc drive is old enough to be capable of reading them. Wii's made after Sept. of 2009 are not able to play backups from disc. You can check the Wii Drive Chip Database to see if yours will play DVD -r's.
BEFORE GETTING A USB DRIVE CHECK THE USB COMPATIBILITY LIST.
The recommended usb drive setup is fat32. Although, you can still use NTFS or WBFS loading.
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH A PARTICULAR GAME, CHECK THE ULTIMATE LIST OF TROUBLESOME GAMES, TO FIND A FIX FOR IT.
IF YOU HAVE AN ERROR, CHECK THE ERROR INDEX

There are many more guides for homebrew and Wii related fun. Also we have sections for other game systems for those of us that just can't get enough of any one console. I personally have multiple console and handheld game systems. So have fun browsing the site.
