I want to make a Wii game that has videos on it and you have like a chapter selector and you click the video you wanna play and then it plays it but I don’t know how to make a game that can do that

Sorry if the grammar is bad because I am too lazy to type this out

Start with DevkitPro and look at the sourcecode for one of the video player projects, like WiiMC. It's the best video player the Wii has right now, and I believe it uses FFMPEG for the codecs.

The video selector when you start up the game doesn’t have to be fancy. It just can be a black background with green text and you use the dpad to select it and then you press A

I looked into the WiiMC source code, and I have no idea what I’m doing

It's best you start out with something more simple than a video player, like a little test of the wii's features. (pointing, gyro, etc.) If you don't already know how to code in C, then I suggest you probably should get on that.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @RedColoredStars, my phone is from around 2019
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    I cant justify $1k+ on a nice ass phone. I can spend that on a 75" tv screen. Why a 6" screen device cost me the same? lol

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Nah a phones going to always be more powerful than a TV if the TVs $2grand maybe but why when I can put a smaller device in my pocket that does basically everything a TV already does

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I can justify a decent $800 smartphone that'll last 3 years when I could get a 65" TV for $400 and buy a decent micro computer for $100 more
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tbf there are decent $400 smartphones in today's market that make top end spec phones unjust it's just what you want
