@s3r1alpari4h Oh okay. My apologies, I did not mean to seem like a D***. Its actually kind of neat that the new channel is planned to release on its anniversary ;)

I hope you guys had a great Christmas! :D

Yeah I've been working on it, it was gonna be released on Christmas but since I didn't get everything working in time I decided to release it with all of the languages and news sources by that date, a month from now.

I hope I get it done by time, worked very hard on the project.

I'm working on a project to get the original channels working.

AwesomeMarioFan/Larsenv's WiiConnect24 Replacement!


This was made by me and AwesomeMarioFan.

NOTE: This is for your browser.

Introduction:

You know the WiiConnect24 thing on the Wii that was used for Weather, Voting, Nintendo News, News, Mii sharing, etc.? Me and AwesomeMarioFan brought it back, to use on your browser. We missed the functions of the channels and wanted to bring it back to life after all these years. It really showed what the Wii could do.

Credits:
  • Check Mii Out Channel Widget is powered by My Avatar Editor.
  • Everybody Votes Channel Polls are powered by Play Nintendo. We couldn't find a better way to recreate this, but if we get more people like you visiting our website we can do polls.
  • Forecast Channel Widget by SimpleWeather.
  • Music Playlists powered by Playlist Me.
  • News and Nintendo Channel RSS Widgets by FeedWind.
  • Nintendo Channel was powered by NintendoLife's RSS.
  • News Channel was powered by CNN's RSS. The "CNN Student News" clips weren't included since they are just videos for students.
  • If you are the creator of the linked websites or widgets and want it removed, please contact us. I don't wanna be the one who stole your work, however I tried my best to make sure they were OK to use...

Woah noice :O.

So does this Mod just replace the regular channels (everyone votes channel, CNN Weather, etc...) to a server host that will provide online services? Sounds pretty dope :D.

I'm a little confused though. Will any exporting need to be taken place on the Wii to download these files? Such as a new internet host for the Wii instead of WFC24?

Yes, RiiConnect24 replaces the original servers.

If you have Skype we can talk about this further. I'm live:larsen_2.

Oh alright,
I should be fine. I will go ahead and do the research for RiiConnect24. I'm sure it will be fairly easy compared to installing Mymenuify if I run into a wall, or anything like that I will make sure to give you a call when I get the chance,

I give you a toast for making this possible :yaywii:

Hello, first of all I would like to say congratulations on the release of the Beta of the News Channel. I'm sure its a big step forward for you guys. However, when I ran the News Channel on my old wii, and it had IOS 31 patched and Riiconnect24 on, the News Channel did not get news from a few days ago, rather it got news from June 2013. Was I supposed to see something else?
Also, are you guys still going to update this page: https://riiconnect24.net/progress.php as far as progress with the News Channel goes?

Thank you and again, congratulations. I cant wait for the full version to be released.

Umm I don't know about the June 2013 News.

For the Progress Page, I don't think I will update it anymore.

Hey Larsen, I managed to get some new news to come in on the riiconnect24 news channel for wii. (I think I just needed to reset my wiiconnect24 settings, and it is fixed on my wii now.)

First, I want to say thanks so much for creating this. The Weather Channel on the Wii was one of my favorite things ever to mess around with after a long day, and I look forward to being able to and to show my kids someday.

Is there any way to get this working on the Wii U? My vWii is modded and I have Homebrew Channel. I downloaded RVL-Weather-7.wad using NUS Downloader. Will I screw anything up? Do I patch the same IOS files as in the directions given for installing on a Wii?

We don't have it working on Wii U yet.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i have that stupid connector on my gpu luckily it's only a 300w gpu so i should(?) be fine since all the issues are with the quad 8pin->12pin and mine is only dual 8pin
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even cablemod had to recall their 12pin angled adapter
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    seems like nobody can make these things properly
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    quite a tight bend on that 8pin->12pin adapter in my case, which is the worst case scenario, but i made sure it was fully seated after plugging everything in and bending the cable so it shouldn't come unseated by itself since i pre-stressed the cable

    The Real Jdbye I am going AMD this gen still debating 7900XT or XTX
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo i didn't go amd for one specific reason, the AI performance is way behind nvidia

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i just got a 4070ti
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    oh yeah also DLSS is a pretty solid reason to go nvidia since fidelityfx is kinda crap
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and now with the rtx video upscaling, and sdr->hdr conversion, even more reason to go nvidia
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    both of which work well in potplayer
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    amd is a bit cheaper though
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Cheaper and they are less stingy with the RAM not a big issue now but I can imagine in a yard or two things might be different
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Year not yard lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Interesting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course)
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
