MFE-Wii is an MPlayer Front-End for the Wii, using Wii-Linux 8/4/2008. MFE-Wii provides a front-end controlled by a Gamecube control pad and allows you to play media files directly from the SD Card on your Wii.
This version uses the same sources as the original, but it has been adapted for the Wii by making changes to the kernel and filesystem. It runs on Wii-Linux and uses the SDL libraries. The media player will boot using the ARAM filesystem method.

the ARAM filesystem method.
 
== What you need ==
 
To get MFE-Wii working on your Wii, you will need the following equipment;


* A Wii Console able to run Homebrew Code (A Wii Console with Zelda: Twilight Princes and the [[Twilight Hack]] Save Game loaded onto your Wii).
==Installation==
* An SD Card
Extract the archive directly to the root of your Memory Card (ex. J:\).
* A Gamecube control pad.
* The MFE-Wii Binaries (mfe-wii.elf).


== Installation ==
==Controls==
D-Pad - Navigate through your filesystem, Forward and backward


* Copy the file '''mfe-wii.elf''' and the directory '''mfe''' to the root directory of your SD Card.
A - Launch a file (play)
* Rename the .ELF file to '''boot.elf''' .
* If you're using the Homebrew Channel, place the '''boot.elf''' file in its own folder within the 'apps' folder.
* Copy your .avi files that you want to play to your SD Card.
* Load your SD Card into the front slot of your Wii.
* Ensure that your Gamecube Controller is plugged in.
* Start your Wii and use your Homebrew Loader (Be it Twilight Hack, Homebrew Channel or other).
* Launch the .ELF file and select the Media Files you would like to play.
