Thats good, but I can't see the Video, it is set to private. It has to be "not listed".

Should be corrected now. (Sorry, forgot to set it to unlisted.)

Well, with those cheated times I cant find out in what format the time is transmitted. Can you dump any ghost data download with a few correct times (> 1 minute)? Or is every timetable for every track spammed with such impossible times?

I will try grabbing another dump with some better times. (Should have it up by tonight.)

New dump is online! I did Regional Rankings this time, and I logged the top champion ghost download (Which seemed to have failed), and the Top 10 Player Rankings.
The times are pretty good, they don't seem to be cheated.

Wrong topic. Sorry.

Is there a way to use a computer with a wired connection and a wifi card as a passthrough for packet sniffing? I have both a Wii and a DS I can run backups on and I would be willing to help gather data from any game that's still needed, but I don't think I have the hardware to collect packets. Sorry if this was already asked somewhere, I couldn't find it.

If you wifi card supports AP mode (has a lot of different names, sometimes it's called SoftAP) then you can do it from your computer. TiroDvD made a YouTube guide that walks you through setting one up.

I have a TL-WN751ND card, I just installed the utility which has a SoftAP mode but it will only let me pick WPA2 for security, not even disable it, sadly. At least Wii games will still work, I guess.

If I remember correctly, the Microsoft wireless hotspot API only allows WPA2 security.

In that case you might be able to get it working if you boot from a Linux LiveCD and use its drivers, but that's going to be a lot more complicated.

Some questions:
* Is there any user that collect all dumps?
* Is there anyone, who manage the dumps (game and scenarios) and notifies about missing dumps?
* Have anyone started with the analysis of the dumps?

I am collecting dumps myself through the site, but because I don't know about the online functionality of all the games I collect for, I can't say what functionality is missing or not. For the games I have I try to collect as much as I can but for some things like friendcode games it can be difficult, especially since my capture setup seems to drop DS-to-DS connections if they're both using the same access point.

There is one person who has contacted me who was working on analysis in the Pokemon games, I'll see if I can get some of the work they've done so far. Other than that I've just been looking at some of the dumps briefly.

I have been collecting as many dumps as I can. The reason why I have been not going fast is that I am currently not sure why we are taking normal Wii console dumps. Are these useful? As far as I know you can't decrypt them without the private SSL key, which we will never have. (I was working on Dolphin SSL decrypted ones instead.)

I've been going off of people posting here and requesting for them.

One person above started analysis with one of my dumps (The MKWii leaderboards download).

Ok, thanx for information.

I have setup a first server (redirect proxy with auto dump). It should help to find out the friendship relations.

If you want, you can joint it, temporary or permanent.

So by using that DNS, everything I play through WFC will be logged by you?

If that's the case, I can gladly set up my Wii and my DS with that DNS and play a bunch of games for data.

No, Only the connections to gpcm + gpsp.gs.nintendowifi.net will be redirected. Both are relevant for friend code managing.
Follow the link of above and read.

And here is an statistics file about the usage. It is updated once a hour.

This is some of the work done on analysis of the protocol for Pokemon Pearl/Diamond: http://www.pipian.com/ierukana/hacking/ds_nwc.html

It looks like the protocols between DS and Wii games is very similar if not identical, only with some game-specific additions later on in the connection.
