GB is particularly notable, as the Wii's NAND is 512MB in size and non-savefile data cannot normally be transferred between an SD card and a Wii or directly launched (the SD Card Menu copies to NAND) as such, this indicates that at one point in development the Wii had the ability to manage and directly launch files 1+GB in size, which means one would originally be able to have full Wii games or possibly GameCube games on an SD card. The Wii does not use byte sizes to determine space on the System Memory or the SD Card, and instead refers to 'Blocks' just as the GameCube did. These strings aren't used, probably because people actually do know what a Wii Number, a nickname, and an e-mail address are. (Source: Original TCRF research) What's a Wii Number? The Wii SDK includes a package for banner mastering in its release notes, a note dated September 2006 mentions the removal of this flag, which was present in the game's banner. Originally, games could have had a flag for controller requirements set, with the Wii Menu not allowing the game to be launched until the required controller has been connected. Please connect a Classic Controller to the Wii Remote or connect a Nintendo GameCube Controller to your Wii console. Please connect a Classic Controller to the Wii Remote. Please connect a Nunchuk to the Wii Remote. These strings link in with the unused time limit option for Wii Channels. These strings would have been used if a Channel has a time limit, and would display on the Channel's banner, but is unused since it never got implemented.Д®ven if the time limit option was implemented, the system uses the limitOver.ash file and doesn't use the text string. In later versions of the Wii Menu, the locations of these strings still exist but are blank.

The Disc Channel does not display this text when reading a disc, although it may be a leftover from the GameCube. This would probably be shown if you were going to watch a DVD on your Wii (before the idea was scrapped). Wii Menu 1.0 has some unused text, shown below. (Source: Original TCRF research) Unused Text This relates to the below mention of being able to manage data on the Wii that is gigabytes in size. While there is a second SDIO device in the Wii used for other functionality, there is pre-release evidence that the Wii was intended to have two SD card slots, and the string '.SDIO SLOT 1: Cannot init!!!.' (slots counting starting with 0) in IOS in addition to the length of the pre-release Wii SD card flap. Two SDIO devices and references to two SD card slots are present in the Wii's IOS.

On July 20, 2021, a few prototype designs for the Wii Remote were leaked on the Internet, and some of them featured 'Back' and 'Pause' buttons as opposed to the final's 'Plus' and 'Minus', which may have been the design intended for the scrapped DVD functionality. Interestingly, the reflection image for the DVD icon doesn't perform the default animation. If all images are set to Visible, the DVD icon and reflection will appear in the Disc Channel in the positions mentioned above, but the DVD icon only performs the default animation for when no disc is inserted and doesn't seem to have any other animation assigned to it, as the DVD and reflection icons do not spin when a disc is being read, and do not stop and fade out when a disc can't be read. These images remain in all known and datamined versions of the System Menu, including Korean 3.5, vWii, and the Wii Mini. brlyt file manually since Wii Layout Editor cannot save.

It is possible to get this image to show up, but you will need to edit the. A shade for the DVD also exists, but is incorrectly named 'DVDSahde' and is still invisible. The same is also true for the reflection image of the DVD Disc. In diskBann.ash, the brlyt files show that the DVD Disc is actually still in the Disc Channel's banner, but invisible and also to the left of the Wii Disc and is slightly off-screen. The ability to play DVDs on the Wii can be 'unlocked' through Wii homebrew software, but this does not work on some newer Wii consoles due to the drive chip being changed. The Wii's hardware is capable of DVD playback, but it was scrapped likely because they had to pay a small fee with every console shipped for licensing issues (a similar situation occurred with the original Xbox, which required an add-on for DVD Video playback due to Microsoft omitting the DVD logo on its console so the licensing fee wouldn't have to be payed for every unit produced).

This, along with spotted functions in the code (specifically syscalls 50 and 51, which control DVD video-related functions), suggests Nintendo planned to include DVD playback for the Wii. The system menu contains a DVD banner for the Disc Channel, which would presumably be displayed when a DVD was inserted.
