GeeXboX port for Wii is a media player software by farter. It is based on gc-linux team's wii-linux-PoC-0.4 and a recent devel version of GeeXboX.
Most functions of Wii, including bluetooth/wiimote, DVD, wireless, LAN etc., are not supported by this version, due to limitations of the linux kernel. There are terrible bugs too, which you won't be able to miss. So please regard this rather as a demo. But expect huge improvements in next release, when gc-linux team's latest linux port becomes available.

Controls
Use arrow keys to move around in the menu. Keyboard control info.
