TURN YOUR WII INTO A MEDIA CENTER
Are you sick of your Xbox and PS3 friends barging about how their gaming console can do everything?
The Nintendo Wii has been on the market for some time now, blowing away sales records, drawing in young and old, and engaging people who had never gotten off the couch to play a game before. But, one of the things that it was missing that many people have started to expect out of their gaming consoles, was as a means of playing various other forms of media. The Xbox 360 can do it, and so too can the Playstation 3, after some much needed firmware upgrades.
So, why then can’t the Nintendo Wii do things like stream video and audio from your computer? There’s no real reason why not. The hardware capabilities are there. The technology is sound. So why can’t you stream audio and video on the Wii, straight out of the box?
Well, now you can.
For those of you who made the choice between gaming and entertainment completion, you don’t have to worry anymore – the decision has been negated and you can now choose to use your Wii for just about anything you could imagine.

WiiAudio
Posted on 13. Feb, 2010 by Wiiboy.
Wii Audio is not quite as well develop and doesn’t have the sheer volume of support that Orb does, because it is a handmade, at-home software solution to the streaming video problem. Like Orb, though, it operates by streaming content from your PC to your Wii remotely, using the Internet. Unlike Orb, it is a lot more complicated because it requires you to do things manually. Here are some of the benefits of the software:
- Simple setup with plenty of instructions
- Small, streamlined files with minimal memory usage
- Can be customized to speed up the process as needed.
- Full Use of Your Media
- Can Be Done Wirelessly
Basically, this is a software solution for those that like the do-it-yourself approach and don’t want to sign up for a third party service or run their video through someone else’s servers. It offers privacy, speed and less intrusion. However, it also requires a bit more work on your part to make sure video and audio stream properly to your Wii.
