@s3r1alpari4h Oh okay. My apologies, I did not mean to seem like a D***. Its actually kind of neat that the new channel is planned to release on its anniversary ;)

I hope you guys had a great Christmas! :D

Yeah I've been working on it, it was gonna be released on Christmas but since I didn't get everything working in time I decided to release it with all of the languages and news sources by that date, a month from now.

I hope I get it done by time, worked very hard on the project.

I'm working on a project to get the original channels working.

AwesomeMarioFan/Larsenv's WiiConnect24 Replacement!


This was made by me and AwesomeMarioFan.

NOTE: This is for your browser.

Introduction:

You know the WiiConnect24 thing on the Wii that was used for Weather, Voting, Nintendo News, News, Mii sharing, etc.? Me and AwesomeMarioFan brought it back, to use on your browser. We missed the functions of the channels and wanted to bring it back to life after all these years. It really showed what the Wii could do.

Credits:
  • Check Mii Out Channel Widget is powered by My Avatar Editor.
  • Everybody Votes Channel Polls are powered by Play Nintendo. We couldn't find a better way to recreate this, but if we get more people like you visiting our website we can do polls.
  • Forecast Channel Widget by SimpleWeather.
  • Music Playlists powered by Playlist Me.
  • News and Nintendo Channel RSS Widgets by FeedWind.
  • Nintendo Channel was powered by NintendoLife's RSS.
  • News Channel was powered by CNN's RSS. The "CNN Student News" clips weren't included since they are just videos for students.
  • If you are the creator of the linked websites or widgets and want it removed, please contact us. I don't wanna be the one who stole your work, however I tried my best to make sure they were OK to use...

Woah noice :O.

So does this Mod just replace the regular channels (everyone votes channel, CNN Weather, etc...) to a server host that will provide online services? Sounds pretty dope :D.

I'm a little confused though. Will any exporting need to be taken place on the Wii to download these files? Such as a new internet host for the Wii instead of WFC24?

Yes, RiiConnect24 replaces the original servers.

If you have Skype we can talk about this further. I'm live:larsen_2.

Oh alright,
I should be fine. I will go ahead and do the research for RiiConnect24. I'm sure it will be fairly easy compared to installing Mymenuify if I run into a wall, or anything like that I will make sure to give you a call when I get the chance,

I give you a toast for making this possible :yaywii:

Hello, first of all I would like to say congratulations on the release of the Beta of the News Channel. I'm sure its a big step forward for you guys. However, when I ran the News Channel on my old wii, and it had IOS 31 patched and Riiconnect24 on, the News Channel did not get news from a few days ago, rather it got news from June 2013. Was I supposed to see something else?
Also, are you guys still going to update this page: https://riiconnect24.net/progress.php as far as progress with the News Channel goes?

Thank you and again, congratulations. I cant wait for the full version to be released.

Umm I don't know about the June 2013 News.

For the Progress Page, I don't think I will update it anymore.

Hey Larsen, I managed to get some new news to come in on the riiconnect24 news channel for wii. (I think I just needed to reset my wiiconnect24 settings, and it is fixed on my wii now.)

First, I want to say thanks so much for creating this. The Weather Channel on the Wii was one of my favorite things ever to mess around with after a long day, and I look forward to being able to and to show my kids someday.

Is there any way to get this working on the Wii U? My vWii is modded and I have Homebrew Channel. I downloaded RVL-Weather-7.wad using NUS Downloader. Will I screw anything up? Do I patch the same IOS files as in the directions given for installing on a Wii?

We don't have it working on Wii U yet.
