So I downloaded the Forecast Channel .wad from NUSD. I installed it to vWii with YAWMM. Then I went to the Wii U menu and put it the DNS for RiiConnect24(185.021.082.064, and the other one(2nd DNS) to 8.8.8.8). I turned on WiiConnect24 with ConnectMii and loaded up the channel. It says unable to download the latest info. I have the Forecast Channel that works with all Wii's worldwide

Nintendo discontinued the forecast channel back in June 2013 that's why it's not working

@kyle9252 You have to dump your vwii's ios 31 using YABDM(Yet Another Blue Dumper Mod) to a wad file.
Next, you need to download their patcher for your dumped ios31 wad on your sd https://github.com/RiiConnect24/IOS31-Patcher

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Sorry for double posting, you also need yo have the forecast or news channels on your vwii and of course, the dns srvers properly set on your console.
On a side note the forecast channel dosen't work for me.
P.s: Your wad has to be on the same folder as the patcher

Try installing a News Channel v3 wad, because if you press Start when in vWii and press No on the next screen, you will find the secret vWii System Settings which will allow you to enable WiiConnect24 and connect to RiiConnect24 servers from there. It's all in this thread, hope this helps:

I accidentally bricked my vwii installing the wads on accident. I saw on a different thread that you know how to fix a bricked vwii using Wii u homebrew. Can please explain to me how you did it?

    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
