How to Play Picture CDs on Wii

The Nintendo Wii has a feature called the Pictures channel that will allow you to view, edit and share photos that you load onto your Wii. The Wii will not directly read picture CDs; it only reads Wii and Game Cube game discs. However, if you have access to a computer with an SD card interface, you can transfer the photos from your picture disc to the SD card and then load them onto the Wii.

Things You'll Need

A PC with an SD card reader
An SD memory card

  Insert the SD memory card into the card reader on the PC. Insert the picture disc into the disc drive on the PC.

  Click "Edit" on the menu bar at the top of the window that appears. Click "Select All." Click "Edit" again. Click "Copy." Close this window. On the "My Computer" window, double click on the SD card's icon. Right-click anywhere inside the window that opens and click "Paste." This will transfer all the photos to the SD card.

  Remove the SD card from the PC and place it in your Wii's SD card slot. Open the Wii menu. Select the Photo Channel. Select "Digital Camera/Cell Phone." This will open a composite view of all the photos on the SD card. To view any particular photo, select it with the Wii remote and press the A button.
