New eGuides On How To Play DVD On Wii

By Aaron Walters


The term Wii homebrew is about unlocking the Nintendo's Wii game console to access software that has never been authorized by Nintendo. The program achieves this by circumventing the Wii's copy protection and code signing set up. Generally speaking, it refers to the use of this gaming unit's various hardware, accessories and software for purposes beyond its normal factory settings. Layman's terms: unlocking the Wii's hidden potential.

When the Nintendo Wii was new, a good number of the hardcore gamers realized the observable lack of High Definition support, mass storage capability, DVD playback, and the obvious scarcity of a close knit online community. If the legendary heavy hitting games like Zelda and Super Mario Brothers were lacking, there would probably not have been enough reason for most gamers to pick up the other peripherals and add-ons. Then the Wii Homebrew was introduced, and the Nintendo Wii would never be the same again.

Breathing new life to your gaming console, mods and programs that unlock hidden potential of a gaming unit became a new fad. Homebrew became a household name. What started as a few curious and persistent hackers has become a massive community of developers, gamers and users searching for ways to bring some new amazing features to the aging console. Game emulation, DVD playback, and the ability to run Linux are but a few of the upgrades that were made possible with the Homebrew Channel.

The creators of the Nintendo Wii are very highly admired. They gave birth to various incredible games for its past gaming consoles. This holds true for the Wii. Perhaps this statement still stands. However, there is always a "BUT" to think about. Now what could that be? Remember, once upon a time there was Betamax then VHS came not long after this. Then the DVD player reigned supreme. Do you think your Wii would become obsolete a few years from now? Or, God forbid, obsolete in a few months? Have you heard of the spreading news about a new Wii 2 coming in the near future? Well it remains to be seen!

The Wii Homebrew download allows the user to access a few more cool new features. The Nintendo Company has always been a pioneer and trendsetter when it came to innovations and ideas on concepts, products and game play. Imagine having a better and advanced gaming console which allows you to enjoy more games from other platforms, an emulator for lack of a better term. It is a win win situation.

Installing your own Wii DVD is something that is easy to acquire. However the danger of "bricking" or turning your gaming unit into an expensive paper weight is still a danger to be vigilant about. If a Wii owner chooses to go with hard modification, this means opening the unit to install a chip, there is a high possibility of voiding the warranty. Going for a soft mod or downloading a program is more popular and safe. There are pros and cons. The choice is always yours to make.
