Softmod Your Nintendo Wii for DVD Playback and Homebrew Apps

Everyone questioned Nintendo when they release the Wii and decided not to put a DVD playback function on it. So someone’s found a way to hack the system to play DVDs and homebrew apps. The process is safe and doesn’t involve any internal hardware changes. You’ll need:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game
  • a SD card (which needs to be formatted to FAT16)
  • The Wii Brew SD Installer
  • a windows pc with a SD card reader.
  • Of course if you have an Xbox 360 or PS3 you’d probably wouldn’t need to do this to your Wii unless you want some future homebrew apps.
