I don't know which versions its in or what it does (00000098.app) If anyone knows this hidden ID, please share!Ĥ/28/21: The setting in Wii System Menu 4.3U (DVDLowEnableDvdVideo) Maybe this 'hidden ID' is somewhere in the boot cycle and Priiloader isn't required? If Nintendo wanted to make this process way too easy, they could have just programmed the Wii to search to a hidden channel with a certain Title ID, if it is there, DVDs work.

We take the WiiMC forwarder, change it to hidden, and rename it to an unknown Title ID. wad which is lost to the ages until we get lucky with another Wii prelaunch leak.

I have implemented it in my theme, tested and ready to be downloaded! The Wii could originally read DVDs from the Disc Channel, it just needed a few things. Here is the download link to the project! I am making this thread so that we might be able to get DVDs back on the Disc Channel, as well as for educational purposes.
