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.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
