RiiConnect24's Beta News Channel has been released!

logo.png

RiiConnect24 have been hard at work creating a News Channel that works (since September 2015!), and they are happy to announce that a beta version now exists. One can access it via their regular Wii; they merely require the RiiConnect24 DNS of 185.82.21.64 and the custom IOS31 from them.

The custom IOS31 is merely required, as the original WiiConnect24 key couldn't be used (unless someone here can extract it from Nintendo ;) ), and we'd rather set our own key rather than make a custom channel, with all the issues that entailed. Other than that and the DNS, it runs the exact same way as the original News Channel :D

They have noted that sometimes stories could have incorrect formatting, and some errors on file load (the files are made hourly so if it breaks check again in an hour), and does not have globe location or imagery yet, but these are merely teething problems.

I can't do that. Sorry.

Once this is vWii compatible and with globe support, I am all over this. I always wanted to show my wife why the globe setup made the news channel so much fun!
I want the Everybody Votes Channel to come back and the Check Mii Out Channel because they sound like the most fun!

Yes the problem is in save file on dolphin to save country settegs error is FORE000005

True, if you use dumps for Forecast Channel, News Channel, or Nintendo Channel on Dolphin, then the weather, news, or new video updates will be displayed on the the Wii Menu. But if you load any of the channels up, you will get an error.
