Misc Wiimmfi announcements

Weird, both versions should work just fine. Did you patch Pearl correctly, or did you put in the right NoSSL code for Peart? Just saying but for the Sinnoh games, the actual connecting works but the "Test Connection" thign doesn't.

Yes, it is patched correctly. Several other people have issues with Pearl over Wiimmfi as well. It does not work when trying to actually connect in the basement of the Pokemon Center.

Weird, then just try to use your Pearl save in Diamond. Diamond should have no problem reading a save that was made in Pearl.

That isn't solving the issue that Pearl doesn't work on Wiimmfi.

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

I don't know how to fix it, maybe start a conversation with Wiimm on here or Wii-homebrew.com and explain your problem.

Kk, I already replied to his post earlier so hopefully he responds here.

Btw, are there any side effects to transferring a Pearl save to Diamond and back throughout the course of a playthrough? Will in-game events screw up, etc. from having the save mixed between different games?

 

[FancyNintendoGamer567]

I don't know, but since Diamond and Pearl are similar games, I would think Diamond wouldn't have a problem playing Pearl saves.

We will be performing some maintenance work on Wiimmfi today at 16:00 UTC, so you will be kicked at that time (and logins won't be possible from 15:45 UTC onward).

Server maintenance is done, please read the following page: https://wiimmfi.de/update

is there a way to include/update the new patching method directly in the usb loaders ? like autopatcher does.
I tried to look at the sources very quickly and think it involves new urls (nas and gamespy) and a different cheatcode (in bz2 in the sources) based on mario kart game region. not sure there are other things needed, like creating a new dol section which I don't know anything about and I might not be able to add to usbloadergx. if it's "only" url and cheat, I could update the patch to work on the new wiimmfi.

the new patching method is currently only for mario kart? other games are still working with the old method? if there's a security issue I suppose other games will have to be patched one by one too, each game/region will have different patches.

 

[leseratte]

The new patch is only for Mario Kart Wii. The methods needed for the auto updater to work are in the main.dol, not in the StaticR. In theory it should be possible to implement the patches in an USB-Loader the same way the auto Wiimmfi patcher does.

 

[Cyan]

that's good news, thank you
I'll look into it and try to add the option for mario kart in the loader.

 

[leseratte]

Cool. If you get that to work, please do us a favour and let us test and verify the update before you make it public.

 

[leseratte]

Just as a status update for the others: I am currently talking to Cyan over PM and will probably code the new Wiimmfi support for the USB-Loader GX myself, as soon as I get it to compile in its current form.

I'm curious about Call of Duty World at War and 007 Quantum of Solace.
They both were Activision online games before Activision started using their own servers.
"The game doesn't work, because it tries to connect *.mmp3.demonware.net."
https://wiimmfi.de/stat?m=25

What does that mean exactly? Is it impossible?

BTW I noticed that the Japanese-exclusive game "Takt of Magic" (an RTS) is missing in that list.
I regret not having played that one and Zangeki no Reginleiv online. I wonder who thought these two games weren't worth releasing in the West... well they almost did that to Xenoblade, Last Story and Pandora's Tower as well.

 

[leseratte]

That means that these games used the WFC just for authentication and then used servers at mmp3.demonware.net instead of the WFC for the actual game play. They use different servers which nobody replicated, so these games can't be used on Wiimmfi because the game servers don't exist.

 

[Cyan]

Posting here to inform users Leseratte made a patch for USBLoaderGX.
you can now play Mario Kart with the new security method by enabling wiimmfi setting directly from the loader.
you don't need to patch the ISO on your computer, unless you want to hard patch all the onscreen messages too, which are not patched by the loader. If you patch the ISO yourself, the loader will detect it and won't patch it again even if the option is enabled.

I have 4 Wiis. Am I allowed to use the same save file on all of them (not at the same time of course) and play on wiimmfi? Or will the system think I'm hacking? Really hoping to be able to play on the same save on my 4 Wiis, since they're in different rooms.
