Make your Wii play DVD and Nintendo Games
According to some statistics the large majority of Wii’s bought stop being used after about 6 months. Nintendo’s own statistics reveal that the revolutionary Wii Fit is used on average only 4 times by each customer. Pretty lame.
But I can understand them: at first, you love the games and the innovative controller, but then you realize that you are not actually doing much in the games (did you ever try to play Wii Tennis?) and that you are not much into them either.
So, what else can this machine do? Play DVD and old Super Nintendo Games (SNES) to start with. Carve 30 minutes our of your next weekend, find a SD card reader and follow the following pointers.
First of, you want to install Wii Homebrew Channel. It’s fairly easy using Bannerbomb, just make sure you use the right version for your machine.
To make it play DVDs you likely need to install a patched cIOS. You can do it offline or online, depending if you have an Internet connection. Then install MPlayer CE.
To have fun with old Super Nintendo Games install SNES9x GX. Its interface is really nicely done and the games play smooth. My favorites are: Bust-A-Move, Earthworm Jim, Micro Machines 2, Pinball Dreams, Sonic the Hedgehog, Street Fighter II, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Super Tennis.
I find these old games so much better than those new 3D digital games which kids play nowadays.
