Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Adventure Team WiiWare game now supports Wi-Fi functionality

Larsenv · Nov 6, 2025

After a year of development, we have released an update to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare translation patch.

This version adds support for the Wi-Fi features of the game, which are extensive. The game has a Friend Rescue system, which was offered with Nintendo WiFi Connection before its discontinuation.
The Friend Rescue system allows people to rescue other people who died in-game, either with friends you add, or anyone who plays the game. You write a letter saying you need rescuing, and a message will be sent back when rescuing someone. The rescued player can also send the rescuer a thank-you letter.

It supports Wii Mail as well, to get notifications when one of your friends needs rescuing. Also, WiiConnect24 features are supported - events can be accessible in-game with it... but after you complete the game.

The My Pokémon Ranch translation patch that I mentioned before is still in progress, and is the only Wii-related project I have left in the pipeline. I am no longer very active in the Wii community, and l am focusing on other things in life. I do not plan to work on any more big Wii projects, but everything that I host / worked on, isn't going anywhere. After 12 years of being in the Wii scene, I have accomplished most of my goals.

What’s the easiest way to try this on Wii U? With a Wii U pro controller ?

Is that even possible ?

Why does it ask me to delete my saved game when I start it? Can't I use it with this version of the game? Is it incompatible?

Northrup · Nov 27, 2025

Okay, I patched the files with Flips - Floating IPS Patcher and installed Radiant Adventure Squad in my USBLGX EmuNAND (via USBLGX Wad Manager), but when I start the game via USBLGX, I only get a black screen.
As described in the ReadMe, I changed the display settings from 60hz to 50hz (PAL console) - but without success.
I noticed that my TV automatically switches to PAL-60 as soon as I klick on Game Start, so I tried to set Video Mode to Force PAL50 in the game settings for Radiant Adventure Squad, but that didn't work either. I still only get a black screen and then have to turn off/restart the Wii by holding down the power button for a long time.
I also opened the patched file in ShowMiiWads, where it says Region Free – would it make any difference if I set the region to PAL?

EDIT:
Tried changing Region Flag from Free to PAL in ShowMiiWads on Wildfire and installing it to EmuNAND and still the TV switches to PAL-60 when I start the Game and I end up with a black screen...

EDIT2:
Read on another site to disable Region Free EVERYTHING in Priiloader - no luck either...

To rule out any potential issues, I've re-patched all three WADs - but it still doesn't work.

Here are the hashes for reference:

Does anyone have any idea how I can get the games to run on my EmuNAND?

Larsenv · Mar 24, 2026

@Northrup why not use wad2bin

Northrup · Mar 24, 2026

@Larsenv
I always thought that, using this method, the game data would still be copied or transferred from the SD to the realNAND every time the game was started... And I want to keep my realNAND as clean as possible, that's why I use emuNAND via USBLGX.

Larsenv · Mar 26, 2026

@Northrup Well the issue is that emuNAND can be problematic

Sliter · Mar 26, 2026

cool that these games are still being worked on for every technical detail! I remember working on the logo for these xD

Really!? "Go sit down and go shut up! Go sit down and go shut up!":

All right, I’ve taken the plunge and installed the title on the SysNAND - it’s working well so far (I’ve only tested it for about 10 minutes).

Still, it would be nice if it worked on the emuNAND instead, but what can you do...
Maybe someone will eventually find a solution - if so, please just tag me or send me a PM.

Cool, I just got a message on my Wii's Messageboard about a sighting of the legendary Pokémon Darkrai!
