From what I understand, that was in fact one of the major reasons they canned the movie playback. License fees made the Wii too expensive, so they scrapped the feature. IIRC, if you rip a Wii's system menu apart, the DVD video icon is still in there...I'm assuming they pay lesser if no licensing fees for not including dvd/bd video playback
Most homebrew that doesn't need AHBPROT or cIOS and doesn't involve backup loading or installing something should work. I'd do some testing, but I don't have a Wii U to test with.Perhaps those of you in the US could start a wiki with homebrew compatibility in wii mode, until the rest of us can get started next week that is
Sweet thanks for the info crediar. I wonder why Nintendo left it in.AHBPROT still exists on the vWii.
I hope tueidj "fixes" the disc verifying problem by making Devolution open source.So that means Devolution could work, assuming tueidj comes up with a solution to the disc verifying problem.
