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.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=98581&package_id=156977

This version uses the same sources than the original, there are only some changes on the kernel and the filesystem to adapt it to wii. It uses wii-linux to run on a wii, and the SDL libraries for this system. It will boot using the ARAM filesystem method.

Installation

  • Copy the file mfe-wii.elf and the directory mfe to the root directory of your SD Card.

  • 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.
