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?

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....

Well, don't let your dream be just a dream.
Nobody bother to do it because it's pointless to do so. There're so much better and easier way to watch whatever these days.
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.

Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option+1 -

For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display+1

So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total

Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap. -

I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.

I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start

But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.

Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
