The system must have IOS58 to use this channel. Either upgrade to System Menu 4.3, or use the IOS58 Installer. The system must also have Homebrew Channel 1.0.8+ running on IOS58 to run the installer. A homebrew software suite for video game consoles developed to help in the evaluation of upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers and of course TV processing of 240p video. The Wii and Dreamcast versions have modes for 480i and 480p evaluation as well. It has tests designed with the processing of 240p signals in mind, although when possible. Kodi is an open source media center. It runs on many different platforms, including the Fire TV Stick. Kodi can be used to stream personal media files from your PC. In our case, we can use it to make a nice interface for loading ROMs. If you don't have it yet, visit our guide on how to install Kodi on the Firestick. 41 votes, 13 comments. Is there a Gamecube/Wii core for 1.9.0? There is a not built core that is just a thin wrapper around dolphin headerless (only where dolphin can be installed obviously). It's a Raspberry pi 4 with 4 GB memory programmed with retropie and supplied with a 1TB SSD M.2 hard drive that's feeding it all its games. I specifically set it up to be able to handle every game system from Atari through Wii. And hopefully, the ENTIRE collection of game ROMs available will fit on that SSD.

Wii Channel

wilsoff was gracious enough to create an official Wii Channel. It is found on WiiMC's downloads page.

Prerequisites

• The system must have IOS58 to use this channel. Either upgrade to System Menu 4.3, or use the IOS58 Installer.
• The system must also have Homebrew Channel 1.0.8+ running on IOS58 to run the installer. If HBC is not using IOS58, reinstall it.
• This channel tries load apps/wiimc/boot.dol from SD or USB. WiiMC has to be installed in one of these locations.

Installation

1. Copy the installer files to the SD/USB device
2. Launch the installer from HBC
3. Click Install
4. Done!

Media Playback

• DVD playback, with DVD menu support (newer Wiis have incompatible drives)
• Files with AVC/H.264 video streams (typically .mp4, .mkv or .flv's from YouTube or other sites) with resolutions up to 720x480p usually play correctly.
• Files with MPEG-4 Simple video streams (typically XVID/DIVX .avi's) with resolutions up to 656x352 play correctly.

Limitations

• CD playback: the Wii drive is DVD only
• HD output: even on component cable Wii hardware is limited to 480p or 576i
• 5.1 sound: Wii hardware has only two analogue audio output channels (2.0)
• 720p/1080p playback or downscale: power is not enough to even decode, not to mention downscaling
• Deinterlace: CPU is not powerful enough, and MPlayer filters are not optimized
• SMB and FTP passwords are limited to 14 characters.

Prerequisites

• The system needs to have IOS58 (more info) for USB 2.0 support. It comes with game 'Your Shape' and also with System Menu 4.3, or you can use the IOS58 Installer
• DVD playback requires HBC 1.0.8 or the latest official WiiMC channel
• No cIOS is required!

Quick Start Guide

There must be an SD or USB device, even if it is only intended to play over the network. WiiMC's core (MPlayer) requires a scratch area.

• Unzip the archive's contents directly to the root of the SD or USB device (FAT32 or NTFS)
• Load WiiMC via Homebrew Channel.
• SD cards and USB drives will show up automatically.
• Set up network shares in the Settings menu if media is to be played over the network. (optional)
• Set subtitle encoding and language. (optional)
• Navigate and play media files.

Video

Usage

1. WiiMC will start in the Videos area
2. The folder used in the last session is remembered for Video, Music, Pictures, and Online Media. They can be viewed and set to fixed locations in the Settings.
3. Toggle between areas with the 1/2 buttons, or click on the icons at the top. The areas include: Videos, Music, Pictures, DVD, Online Media, and Settings.
4. Browse to the media file to be opened, and select it to begin playback.
5. The application preferences can be viewed and changed in settings.

File Browser

Videos Playback

1. During playback you can pause, rewind, forward, and change volume level with the Wii Remote keys or with the on screen controls (these appear, if you point a powered on Wii Remote at any part of the screen)
2. You can stop playback and return to the file list with the Home key
3. Here you can select another media file to play, or resume playback with the on screen Resume button (WiiMC can automatically resume and play the file from the last stopped position if Auto Resume is set to yes in the Settings)
4. Files that have been watched, both partially and completely, are indicated with a checkmark.

Music Playback

1. Music playback stays in Menu so the user can continue browsing.
2. Files can be created and added to the playlist selecting them with the + button.
3. WiiMC can easily play a whole folder, by pointing at the folder and adding its contents to the playlist with the + button.
4. Play mode selected (Continuous, Shuffle, Single etc.) only works if there are files in the playlist - it will not use the folder for playing a music file in (put them into the playlist).
5. The playlist can be viewed and changed with the playback volume with the on-screen button.
6. A TV can be left on while playing: WiiMC has a built-in screensaver which also shows what is playing.

Picture Viewer

DVD Playback

It works as video playback does. The subtitles can be switched on and off and audio can be adjusted with D-pad up and down as well.DVD playback does not work on new Wiis with the internal drive. If this is the case, then it can be removed from the media menu by disabling DVD support in settings.If dual-layered DVDs cannot play on a system, use a lens cleaning kit.

Settings

• Videos - Disabling frame dropping improves performance.
• There is a setting to automatically play the next file in the directory.
• Set the default encoding for the subtitles, and the preferred subtitle language as well (for cases, where multiple subtitles are available). Size and color of subtitles can be changed as well.
• You can change if you want to go to the DVD menu or play the main title at once in Settings.
• You can edit stations for On-line playback in /apps/wiimc/onlinemedia.xml on your SD card, it is not possible from the GUI currently.
• You can set a sleep timer in Settings as well.

FAQ

Will WiiMC ever be able to play HD video?

No. The Wii can't support anything over 480p.

Help! My USB device isn't showing up!

Do you have IOS58 installed? If not, use the IOS58 Installer. Is HBC using IOS58? If not, reinstall it. Finally, check that WiiMC is using IOS58.
