I made this in 2009 when realized that you can't set up a network connection trough the wii's system menu if you don't have internet access, but I never got to release it (or use it, since I had internet access). Anyway this may be useful to someone.
Just set your network connection trough wii's system menu, let it fail the internet test and run the app, it will set all existing connections as if they had passed the internet test, and set the default connection to use (at user's choice).

Warning: this application writes to the nand, it uses the same code as fstoolbox for that. I've run it several times on my wii (from homebrew channel) and had no problems.

When you set up a network connection trough the wii's system menu, if there's no internet access the connection can't be used, so if you don't have internet access from your wii you can't use networking features of applications like WiiMC, ftpii, wiiload...

So this application, based on the code of fstoolbox for nand access will allow you to enable and set one of the 3 connections as default, meaning you can use networking without internet access.

Warning: this application writes to the nand, it has been tested on my wii without problems, it -should- be as trustable as fstoolbox is.


Ho to use
_________________________________

* Configure a network connection (wifi or cable) trough the wii's system menu configuration screen, for example connection 2.
* If you don't have internet access, the connection test will fail, as expected.
* Now run Offline Network enabler, it will promp you to reload IOS using a CIOS. Reload whichever IOS you want that has nand access rights (patched IOS 36, CIOS 202 (default). CIOS 249...)
note: if run from the latest homebrew channel, it will work without reloading IOS (even though the app will say it failed to identify as super user), or at least it works on my wii.
* Press one of the buttons. All existing conections will be enabled (see below) and the desired connection will be set as default.


- Enabled connection: means that you can select it from the wii system menu (as if it had passed the internet test).
- Default or selected connection: the connection that the wii and homebrew will actually use.

Documentation about config.dat:
http://wiibrew.org/w...t/02/config.dat

In the source code of Offline Network Enabler you will find sys_net.c and sys_net.h, which have all the information and functions needed to setup all the network settings from a homebrew application.
There's commented sample code in changenet() function in main.c.

With this information you can write a full network configuration application as long as you can write to the nand.

This release was compiled with:

* DevkitPPC r26: http://sourceforge.n...iles/devkitPPC/
* libOGC 1.8.11 git (2012-07-25): http://sourceforge.n...ro/files/libogc
note: should compile and run fine with 1.8.11 release
* libfat 1.0.11: http://sourceforge.n...o/files/libfat/
* Portlibs (the ones available at release date): http://sourceforge.n...s/portlibs/ppc/

No. My bricked wii is somewhere not being used. If some parts of my new wii breaks, I will use from the old one to replace. Never find a way to connect it, ot any fix for it at all

 

[JRG]

Is there anyway to take it off the nand

 

[PizzaBitez]

odds are. Not many people have used this.
