Hacking Forecast Channel and RiiConnect24

[kyle9252]

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

Iirc Riiconnect doesn't yet work on Wii U.

RiiConnect24 is a replacement of WiiConnect24

Doesn't say it does not work on Wii U's vWii. Maybe I need to patch IOS31? (can you give me a link to the patcher for vWii?)

They will not distribute the patched wad , only the patcher

@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

 

[Varon.B]

No, you download the patcher

 

[manuelpop34]

I already did all of that @Varon.B
P.s Using settings editor gui (homebrew) you will have to change wiiconnect24 to enabled and shutdown mode to idle

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:

Actually, If you go to their discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/v9mVTw?utm_source=Discord Widget&utm_medium=Connect, and type "!wads" in chat, the RiiConnect24 Bot will DM (Direct Message) the patched wads.

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?
