Nintendo Wii games are getting more popular as time goes by. Thus, that rapid growth in sales made Nintendo to create more games and gain more money out of it. However, there are people who are not able to meet the required amount of money needed to obtain one of these games and be able to play a Wii game. Because of that, these people created some alternatives aside from using everything from Nintendo, the Wii Homebrew.

Wii Homebrew was created for that matter. Homebrew enables you to use 3rd party software on your Wii. Such software may not be licensed nor connected to Nintendo. With this, homemade games and game engines are being used. Aside from these homemade stuffs, with Homebrew, you can also perform other applications on the console just like being able to play DVD’s through the device or use the balance board as a scale.

You have to know that the software that enables you to do that should be absolutely free. Therefore, do not be deceived by those operators who may take advantage and sell these tools to you. As expected, Nintendo doesn’t want anyone to use Wii Homebrew since that would mean that they won’t have control over you and on what you do on the machine anymore. It is unfortunate for them to know that there are people who, out of curiosity and for fun, discovered a way to a free software.

Wii Homebrew installers are now available for everyone. Gone were those days when you have to physically change your Will console using a mod chip before you can use foreign codes on your Wii. That is to change the console’s programming inside. This time, you don’t have to go through that hassle anymore. The newest homebrew can change the programming of your Wii without you changing the console physically. Therefore, it is more convenient plus the guarantee of your Wii won’t be void since the device is left intact. For you to run the homebrew, you just have to secure your own SD card that you can use when you play.

One of the downsides of Nintendo Wii in the past falls on its lack of capability to play DVD on the Wii. Now, the good thing is that there are several smart people who did find a fix for that concern. You can now have a Wii DVD that you can add for more entertainment at home plus the fact that DVD can be played on the Wii even without the presence of a mod chip anymore.

There are four easy things to perform for you to play DVD on Wii. Installing the Wii Homebrew Channel to the Wii is the first step. After that, you also have to install an MPlayer so that the DVD disc will just run like a normal DVD player. To enable DVD playback, you also have to install the DvdX loader program. The last thing to do to complete the process is to fire up your Homebrew channel, start the MPlayer, and from the list on the menu, choose the DVD that you want to use. The disc can then be used just like how you do it on a normal DVD player.
