DIVX and DVD on Wii!!

[leboswki]

Just tried a great little homebrew media player app for the gamecube called mfe 2.0.

I mounted it onto the latest wii key config disk (See readme.txt) booted it up and roberts your farthers brother.

Tested it with some divx and xvid files on dvd+r and a DVD and all seem to run fine.

To run media from DVD just eject the boot disk when the app has loaded, insert your media then keep your finger on the L button to refresh the root dir. Then Select your file and press 'A' to play and pause.

The wii has just got even better, bring on the homebrew.

Does this also work on the wiifree ?

eh.. you do realize it's a gamecube program, right? no wii homebrew anywhere in that.

[sysanomaly]

it may be gc homebrew, but....

is there any chance it takes advantage of the slightly faster cpu? it's not like there has to be drivers for it or anything...

[leboswki]

Yes i do realise that there is no Homebrew for the wii yet, but there is still plenty of gamecube brew about that will run on the wii, just like this.

Sorry only tested on the wii key.

How is the status on playing media from a gamecube memory card / sdcard + gecko adapter? Is anybody working on that?

[bohner83]

so do you have an address where we can get mfe 2.0 with the readme

hey this works pretty well.

i downloaded the base 'mfe-boot.dol' file without any updates from the above link. placed it in the appropriate directory, and executed the *.bat file. it instantly created a 4.37 gig .iso file.

it seemed too easy, and kind of odd how it makes a wii-sized iso, not a gcn sized image.

the player itself is easy to use and played all the avi's i had on 3 random dvd-r's that were laying around. the only controls are play/pause and stop. not a very full featured player, but hey, its cool and works for now :P
unfortunately, it will not play off of cd-r's.
