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.DVDX: a Homebrew app needed for the Wii to read DVDs from the drive.The Twilight Hack: a modified Zelda save game that runs the Homebrew Channel Installer.


Here's how to play DVDs on your Nintendo Wii, no warranty-voiding mod-chip required. 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… even Linux! For now, here’s how to get DVD playback on your Wii with MPlayer.It might be old news for some, but for those of you who always wished the glowing disc drive on the Nintendo Wii could play movies as well as games, making it so is now easier than ever. 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.ĥ. 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).Ĥ. Before inserting Zelda into your Wii, flip it over and take note of the text on the inner ring.
