Want to Watch Movies On Your Wii? My Wii News shows you how!

For those in the know, Xbox Media Center (XBMC) is one of the greatest homebrew applications ever created. It perfectly streams movies, videos, pictures and more from your computer or the Xbox's internal harddrive onto your TV, turning last-generations behemoth into a wonderfully powerful media center experience. Unfortunately, running XBMC takes two things that you probably don't have: an old Xbox lying around, and the correct tools to do dastardly deeds to the consoles innards to either soft mod (through applications) or hard mod (through actual computer chips) the Xbox in question. Sure, you could just run out and plunk down $300-400 for one of those other consoles that have limited playback support, but what's the fun in that?

Wii owners handy with their Twilight Princess discs, rejoice! Wii Miidia is here to save the day! With a core program that clevery "borrows" from XBMC, WiiMiidia 0.1 will let you play back most any common movie or music format on your TV in no time...

sorry but i watch blurays only

ChickeyCantor5842d ago

you must be the same guy screaming : WII DOESNT EVEN PLAY DVD'S....now there is homebrew letting the Wii play many formats and then you use " blu-ray"

you people will never be happy, will ya?

Bladestar5842d ago

Hater.. this a good thing for wii owners... if you only watch blu-ray movies.. you have a very limited library....

Durffen5842d ago

You're right sidar, there is no way to make these people happy.

iamtehpwn5842d ago

Is there anything you can't do?

ChickeyCantor5842d ago

...well the hack is just the key....and then its up to the developers XD

Lukatoll5842d ago

yea, these people doing these twilight hacks are amazing!

iamtehpwn5842d ago

I'm still awaiting custom firmware.

Durffen5842d ago

I really want to try this out, but, I have way to much saved data on my Wii, and I would kill myself if it got erased, and apparently, the Twilight Hack erases data (over 100 hours of brawl...) Also, is this considered modding your Wii? Cause I don't want to mess with it so I can't receive updates.

Lukatoll5841d ago

durffen-
i'm not sure if that interferes with receiving updates... Can anyone confirm this???

Blue Legend5841d ago

Back up data to an SD card. Something gets erased, you lose stuff, but at least not everything.

Perverted5841d ago

No you can update fine and dandy and I wouldn't think it's considered a mod. It's really just a glitch in a game that's being taken advantage of.
This is a great release, I can't believe all these homebrewers are showing Nintendo up by doing what they can't or more likely won't.

It's good SLI is dead and buried - and my wallet agrees

Kevin writes: "Multi-GPU gaming was one of those things that seemed like a good idea for as long as it lasted. I mean honestly, the idea of a modular approach to graphics upgrades – be that SLI or CrossFire – was brilliant. I repeat, the idea was brilliant."

darthv725d ago

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.

I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.

However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.

I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.

shaenoide4d ago

Why ? For the price of two SLI cards you only get one RqtX card now...

OpenGL4d ago

Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.
