• 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

Prerequisites

• You need 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

You must have an SD or USB device, even if you only want to play over the network. WiiMC’s core (MPlayer) requires a scratch area.

• Unzip the archive’s contents directly to the root of your SD or USB device (FAT32 or NTFS)
• Load WiiMC via HBC
• SD cards and USB drives will show up automatically
• Set up network shares in the Settings menu if you want to play media over the network (optional)
• Set your subtitle encoding and language (optional)
• Navigate and play your media files
