MFE-Wii is a media player front-end for the Nintendo Wii that uses the Wii-Linux 8/4/2008 operating system. It allows you to play media files directly from the SD Card on your Wii using a GameCube controller for control. This project is based on the open-source MFE media player for GC-Linux. The original sources can be found on its SourceForge page.
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.
Installation
Extract the archive directly to the root of your Memory Card (ex. J:\).
Controls
D-Pad - Navigate through your filesystem, Forward and backward
A - Launch a file (play)
B - Stop
Media
MFE Wii - Zelda Movie Trailer - IGN - (MrJoJo)
Known issues
- Disable WiiConnect24 before running this.

Changelog
1.1
- Solved the problems with the pad.
- Mount/umount SD: Press R for 2 seconds, take out the sdcard, insert a new one and pres R again.
- Reset the console: (int the older version works too, i didn't noticed of that, sorry) Hold Z from MFE menu and in a few seconds it will reboot.
- Added 32MB of swap in MEM2 (I thought that the videos that does not show anything was a problem of memory, but it does nothing...).
