@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.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
