Is there a way to connect my external hard drive to our old Wii game console?

I have saved my most used workouts to a hard drive that I use with my laptop, but I'd like to view them on a bigger screen. Can it connect it to the screen that's connected to my old Wii Fit?

What is the screen connected to your Wii Fit? Is it a TV?

Does your TV have a USB port? Or maybe your DVD player?

the problem with using the USB port of a dvd player or tv is that the file format has to be compatible. My older HDTV will not play a video from its USB but newer HDTV will play mpeg files but not MP4. My dvd player will only play avi files through its USB.

No clue about file format compatibility issues through a Wii but looks simple enough here for a game

however, I read the external hard drive has to be formatted for the Wii
more complicated than I would try:
