Hi,
I have read all the threads regarding installation of the Wii Media Center on OS X. I have tried many times and have followed everyones advice but still can't even get the program to launch.
Could some one please type exactly what I need to type in to terminal so I can paste it directly in?
Some info:
Ibook G4
Version 10.4.8
Java 5.0
User Name Gavin
Many Thanks
:)

CanonX -
1) Make sure the mediacenterx_jar folder is on your Desktop.
2) Launch Terminal. It's probably in your Utilities folder, inside Applications.
3) Inside Terminal: type "cd" (without the quotes), then hit the space bar once.
then physically drag the mediacenterx_jar folder to the Terminal window.
(this will add the location of your folder to the Terminal line)
click back inside the Terminal window
press return
This points Terminal to the location of your media center files.
4) Inside Terminal: type "java -jar mediacenter.jar" (again, without the quotes)
press return
You will see something like the following in the Terminal window:
Wii/PS3/Red Kawa Media Center X 0.92
Media Center User Guide URL: http://www.redkawa.com/mediacenters/tutorials/
Red Kawa URL: http://www.redkawa.com
Your IP: 192.168.0.3
Media Center Web Address: http://192.168.0.3:8192

5057 [main] INFO org.mortbay.log - Started SocketConnector @ 192.168.0.3:8192
At this point, the media center is running. To see it, launch the Internet Channel on your Wii and enter the following internet address:
[whatever your home network address is for your computer]:8192
In my case, that's 192.168.0.3:8192
The blue Media Center navigation screen should appear.
Also, this goes without saying - but your computer needs to be on a home network with a wireless router, so that your Wii can actually connect to it.
Hope this helps! PM me if you need more assistance.

Gavin - put a space after the cd, and before you drag the mediacenter folder onto the Terminal window. That should do the trick.
