Anyone working on a way to bring back the Wii shop channel

The Wii Shop channel still works in that you can redownload anything you have previously purchased on that Wii. As far as making an illegal version of it that allows you to illegally get Wii Ware. Someone would have to want to meet Nintendo's lawyers to attempt that. Of course with a modded Wii and a bit of gumption, you can install anything that was ever on the Wii Shop channel onto your Wii.

 

yes, you can download stuff with NUS even, but the ticket gives a 404 error, so anything you've bought should still be downloadable.

 

The Wii Shop is actual like Hell !!

Open for Looking,but Empty and no Salespersonal.....
(like in Lockdown...)

 

I posted a pic of it a while back, because you can go to it on the wii u. it closed in January of 2019 iirc.

I actually went into the eshop to see about mega man 9 and 10 and final fantasy: the after years dlc. none of them were appearing for me. someone claimed you had to go into the dlc page on the eshop to get mega man's to work, which turned out to be a lie. it was an emunand option from what I remember. I have all of it working now.

 

Piracy

 

I managed to get a good chunk of wiiware stuff from iso before it went down:

 

I actually still have a copy of the "shoplifting channel" by cwstjdenobs, AFAIK less than half a dozen ppl have it. And it still works in 2021! I don't use it, but it's one of the cooler underground apps that I have in my collection

 

Proof of concept only, don't ask for the binary. Sorry for the shaky cam video

 

I feel like if I created a separate topic for this there would be a lot of buzz... but I won't.

 

OpenShopChannel team is surprisingly still working on it. it will only have homebrew but will be a revival nonetheless, with the music and everything.

Want to contribute, you can go to github.com/OpenShopChannel/WSC-Web which is their in-slow-development thing.
