If a user inserts an SD card into the console, or receives photos or videos via email, they can be viewed using the Photo Channel. The user can create a slideshow simply by inserting an SD card with photos and, optionally, MP3 or AAC files. The Wii will automatically add between the photos and play either the music on the SD card or built-in music in the background.
A built-in editor allows users to add markings and effects to their photos. Mosaics and puzzles can also be created with this feature. Edited photos can be saved to the Wii (the Wii will not overwrite data on the SD card) and sent to other Wiis via the message board.
An update to the Photo Channel, named the Photo Channel 1.1, became available on December 10, 2007. It allows customization of the Wii Menu by letting users replace the Photo Channel icon with a picture taken from an SD card or a picture from the Wii Message Board. It also allows playback of songs in random order.
Problems
Pre-existing Photos
A common Wii Menu download has some user photos left in. These photos can be removed by deleting the Wii Menu data folder (Dolphin Emulator\Wii\title\00000001\00000002\data) WARNING: This will erase all of the messages on Wii message board.
Doodle Drawing Tool Bug
When you draw a line sometimes it will appear and sometimes it wont, this can be fixed by setting Texture Cache Accuracy from fast to safe (position 1).
Doodle Scissor Tool Bug
Disabled EFB Copies to Texture Only to fix this problem.
Configuration
Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
