I have a LU73 mainboard and for this reason I can’t run DVDs that ins’t signed by nintendo.
I buy a USB external DVD-RW device for my netbook and I tried to use it in both USB ports in Wii.
For my lucky, is possible to use it in uLoader for play backup discs, but not in the WiiMC for play DVD movies.
Hi easter_egg,
the latest svn revision supports external usb dvd readers. There are still some open issues (e.g. disc change detection or wrong advancement bar when setting “Skip to Main Title”) but it works… at least with my HP usb dvd reader.
If you’re interested, you can download wiimc and libogc source code, and build the latest svn revision. Alternatively, you can send me a p.m. with your email address so I can send you the custom build of the latest wiimc revision.
Cheers,
Clava
