I have been looking around... If the WiiU is locked down for video playbacks... Can we IDE mod it like a Dreamcast and get native Blu-ray file support? Through TVii?

Blu-ray file support?
https://gbatemp.net/threads/project-espresso-an-nintendo-tvii-revival.628559/post-10351014
vs:
BDMV Video encoding:
H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
VC-1
H.265/HEVC (only Ultra HD Blu-ray)
(Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray )

So the Wii U can't play all codecs needed. h264 encoded blueray dumps might be possible through.

Still not sure why everyone wants to mod TVii for such tasks throug: Would be way more simple to write a video player homebrew from scratch.

Because it would be awesome, and I was sitting in the bath and thought... I think what I was thinking to was Nintendo speaking on future features for TVii one being a TVR ... SO - that's where I get playback...

Thinking about it... We only get 1080... So I was being silly for bluray... Most are..

it would be easier wouldn't it, weird no one has done it... Weird..

Idk what the plan is with the API but, you get free football and stuff, that'd be neat...

Idk, it was great media machine, forgotten .. unloved... Cold from the lack of a warm embrace... With only a box of matches keeping it warm... It cries out " When lord, when's gonna be my time!" As it look over at a game and watch playing a movie with an SD CARD on an STM32....

I would prefer a full media player (classic Wiimc style) but if you try to revive tvii and most importantly FINISH IT (not like my old friend David Sosa) then I will be quite grateful.

  • 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
