Black Ops is really the only game I play much online. The thought of not being able to play multiplayer without the remote almost sickens me. I don't want to play it on the Xbox, I don't even want to play it on PC, it's all about the Wii version IMO.

I got to thinking about the combat training mode, which unfortunately can only be entered once you establish an online connection. Used to be the same way on the 360 until they released a patch which made it accessible when offline. I highly doubt Treyarch or Activision is going to do anything about it. But I wonder if it's feasible in the homebrew scene. Seems all that would need to be done is to trick the game into thinking it's connected, once that is established, the Combat Training mode is right there on the main menu. Or maybe it's possible there is another method of accessing CT mode.. Playing bots beats not playing at all.

I'm so sorry I didn't know about this project earlier.
I could have helped. I've got a lot of online capable games.

I'm currently not where my Wii is (but I was not too long ago) and the servers have been shut down yesterday, I assume.
I've got a question: Does this project also help the Dolphin?
I've heard some games work online via Dolphin (Dolphin to Dolphin), while others don't.
(I'm not into the whole Dolphin thing yet; I'm just curious)

I know. The same is true about the genius survival mode in Modern Warfare 3.
I feel exactly the same way about the remote.
Let's hope Treyarch (or Activision) at least will bring the new Call of Duty to WiiU. Black Ops 2 and Ghosts support the Wiimote, but I don't have a WiiU yet.

Oops, sorry, just noticed that the page has been added. Cool, right now?
Just tell me the games you need to capture. If I have them, I'll be able to online with you.
By IRC, did you meant Rizon? Sorry, but the server is always out of connection after a while. Are you okay with PM?
I meant USB Mouse. It's alright if you want to use laptop mouse, but good luck playing using it, lol.

 

[DJPlace]

found my mouse i just don't know how to set it up for these type of games. i'll PM the game i want to test now.

 

[DJPlace]

got a question about packets also. should i try to play very quick or very slow?

 

[makarios]

CueSports Pool Revolution (WiiWare) is still working, and we are going to capture more packets for it.
Sadly I was never able to actually get a match of Tetris Party. The only packets I captured for it was me sitting in the lobby waiting for a match.

I'm now 11 weeks working intensively on the Wiimmfi-Project and put into it all my spare time. And yesterday, Nintendo stopped their servers. And now I have to pause a little first. But before pausing, I have to fix many small bugs of my to-do list. That's enough work for one week.

Therefore, I will not add new games at the moment, unless it's just a configuration thing. Anyway, since no new dumps can be drawn, new games can just wait. And it also does not help when I am overwhelmed with personal messages I get already to many in 3 forums.

Some other important things:

• From now on I'll use the following website for all the maintenance announcements:
  * http://wiimmfi.de/
  
• I want to create a FAQ for the Wiimmfi-Server and need your help. I have created 2 wiki pages and hope, that you help to fill the pages with useful information.
  * http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Wiimmfi_Project/FAQ (english)
  * http://wiiki.wii-homebrew.com/Wiimmfi-Projekt/FAQ (german)

Hmm anyway we can get the. CoD: wow/bo1/mw1/mw3 servers back up for the DS/Wii games. MeroidH DS & Conduit 1 & 2 Wii.

Edit: with that being said what's the possibility of adding DLC to the CoD Wii games now?

Actually I believe new dumps still can be drawn. Many games are still online at the moment. I personally think grabbing the network packets of those before they go offline should be top priority for now.

The problem will be that many games are barely being played. You would need a friend who does it with you.

I was able to play (for old times' sake) some matches in Battalion Wars, Pro Evolution Soccer and Last Story. But I waited quite a while.
I'm so sorry I didn't know about collecting the data. I would have done it.

That's the idea!

I have dolphin, but I don't have a router or a real Wii. If someone wants to get together on skype and needs someone to netplay with to capture data, I am more than willing to play and help gather packets. Send me a PM

is there ever going be a way for dolphin users to play this sever.

 

[Magnus87]

So Its possible to revive Forecast Channel and Messege Board??

 

[BvanBart]

I guess not because they are longer offline then the game servers.

 

[LWares87]

i would figure that with Dolphin Emulator... you'd set-up the emulator for use with WFC, patch your disc image and play.

 

[szczuru]

Working message board would be cool.

 

[makarios]

In faith, I am going to capture more data for CueSports (it's still online), even though none of the other games I submitted data for are on the posted list.

[makarios]

Also, this may just be my milkshake talking... but, since we have a custom server, I wonder how hard it would be to patch the non-wfc games to make them online.

What I mean is, basically trick the game into thinking an online player is a local player (the same way SNES emulators do). Wii Sports online could be done using this method.
