As of 5.0-4588, it is possible to automatically get the System Menu, along with all other system software, by performing an online update (in the Tools menu).
===Wii Optical Disc===
The Wii Optical Disc (RVL-006) is the physical game medium for the Wii, created by Panasonic. Nintendo extended its proprietary technology to use a full size 12 cm, 4.7/8.54 GB DVD-based disc, retaining the benefits of the GameCube Game Disc, and adding the standard capacity of a double-layer DVD-ROM. Wii Discs always include a partition with files to update the Wii system software, which are installed before starting the game if needed. This ensures that systems that cannot connect to the Internet are still updated. For the same reasons as the GameCube, the Wii cannot play DVD-Videos or CDs. '''However, earlier Wiis can play DVD-Video using [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] such as WiiMC'''.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_optical_discs#Wii_Optical_Disc]
*Dolphin has support for Wii Optical Disc but there is no support for DVD-Video if you plan to use with WiiMC homebrew software.
*Virtual Wii also has support for Wii Optical Disc ([https://youtu.be/4iaq_mKn7mE demonstration]). Wii U can't play DVD-Videos. We don't know that if it can play DVD-Videos using Virtual Wii and [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|homebrew]] software (similar to earlier Wii models as mentioned above).
