Wii Problems

[MCharlie]

My Grandson's Wii with a BD external disk drive, will not play *any* BD Clone. It is an older Wii, purchased at least 10 years ago. The age of the BD player is unknown. The next time I am there, I will try and get a model number and manufacture date of the player.

Not much info, I know, but, I was hoping that someone, here, might have experienced the same issue and have a suggestion.

(Once I get the model and date info, I will see of there are any firmware updates available, if so, update accordingly.)

Thanks!

(ATTEN Mods: As usual, with my thinking, this possibly IS a BDC issue, [I am not cloning correctly??] but if not, feel free to delete or move to the appropriate topic!

Many thanks!!

My money is on the drive / Wii. That thing is a game console, not a licensed bluray player. Highly unlikely to be a CloneBD issue. Slysoft didn't have a product called BD Clone.

OOPS! I never get my mords wixed up ()...Clone BD it is..Sorry. As for the Wii/Blu-Ray player. It plays BD movies just fine, but only originals, not the clones. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough..the Blu-Ray player was added later..it did NOT come with the Wii, nor is it a Nintendo product.

Stil points to the console/drive. Can be any number of causes. Incompatibility between console and drive, drive can't play backups at all, drive doesn't like the brand of blanks you're using,... Try a backup in a real standalone / software solution. If it plays there. CloneBD definitely did it's job and the problem is with your device(s)

This must be a modified Wii as the standard ones cannot play any media. To date Nintendo has not released a games console that can play any type of disc (other than game discs) including CD's, DVD's or Blu-ray's. This is the same with the newer Wii U, which was something I was initially surprised at. As it must be modified in some way and additionally have unofficial media playing software, the problem may lie here.

The Wii has an external Blu-Ray player connected to it. They (He, actually, my grandson) watch(s) Blu-Ray movies all the time with that. I am going to get all the info on the player and when I do, I will check for updated firmware for it, and if there is, I will update it and see if it then recognizes the clone BD's.

I'm intrigued, even with an external Blu-Ray drive plugged into the Wii, the Wii must have some software to play the Blu-ray discs. As Nintendo have not licensed the Wii to play DVD's, Blu-rays or CD's then there must be some customization in the Wii to accept software to play the Blu-ray. The only way I have seen to play films on the Wii is by converting the films into a format the Wii knows and sticking them on an SD memory card. What software is your grandson using to play the Blu-Ray films?

 

[MCharlie]

Yarc..I honestly don't know..I do know they bought it new when ever it came out, and about 5 years ago, they bought the BD player and used it. I have never seen the setup, only what they tell me. The next time I am at my daughter's house, I am going to look at the system and get an accurate visualization of the setup and go from there.

I think that is a good idea as it is an unusual setup.

In the mean time, I think it is time to put this thread to bed, as *I* am pretty sure, the issue isn't with CloneBD (Got it right this time Ch3v! )

IIRC the Wii cannot display HD and has only analogue video outputs.

That is correct. It's a pity the Wii U was not licensed to play Blu-ray as that would be HiDef. I guess there may be some Wii U hack by now to overcome it.

It is not supposed to use a external BD with nintendo Wii. It is a dvd video game console. So it appears to be a hacked console
