If anyone was trying but it did not function, the reason is because they are no longer using the the 164 DNS they now use 167.86.108.126 and the secondary is 1.1.1.1 as of June 2022.
Used to play wii since the age of 8 years old, now I'm 20 years old and that console still inspired me and never let down even during my worst moments in life it kept comforting me..., they tell me "the wii is in its end of series" everywhere and I respond them "series's end my ass, people are still playing that in the world and I'm one of them." now you are just showing me this but you have no actual idea what it makes me feel right now, you are a life saver man, I appreciate what you are doing here even if its not only for me, thank you so much, sending you all my love ❤💛💛
That's true, so am I, and I'm in my late 20's _with_ a family💍👶🏻, trying to connect the RiiConnect24 on the modded wiis. Have one for the kids _and_ us. PS. I also recommend buying two NES adapter and the Gamecube microphone, first for the NES DuckHunt game, and the second for Mario Party 6 and 8 for the GC.
Very cool tutorial dude. I'm 31 years old and never owned a Wii, my only experience with it was when my friend lent me his console to play Xenoblade Chronicles (game series that I absolutely adore to this day) but never messed with it beyond that one game. As someone that actually has modded PS2 FAT and OG Xbox consoles I love how easy is to mod the Wii, barely anything can go wrong and if it does the fixes are quite easy.
Very informative video, this will help many people who might want to join the modding scene. I noticed my check mii out channel user mii in the background at 7:15 ,I barely won that contest for biggest virtual boy fan mii. There's a lot of user's on that channel that are really creative and artistic at making miis and from what I've seen they are far better at it than me. Anyway great video, keep up the good work!
This started great, everything ended up working! EXCEPT FOR THE FORECAST CHANNEL, idk if I did something wrong there but if someone got the same thing I’m getting please tell me what I’m doing wrong.
That is a good tutorial there. By the way: did you know that the forecast channel provided weather information through Weathernews (a 24/7 weather segment based in Japan)?
Confirmed! The DNS at this point is now 167.87.108.126, DNS in Video will expire June 2023 as stated on Wii news channel on old DNS, after DNS update confirmed channels are working.
Pretty much self explanatory, optional at time of video, expired at the June date, so for it to work needs to change to updated DNS, the benifet is most of the inop channels will work since nintendo has discontinued and RiiConnect24 has work around@@fuckenps3
something doesnt work for me i cant download some channels and when i go to the wiiconect24 it keeps saying something about agreement and then tests the conection and it says that wiiconect is not offended and it puts me back to the home screen can someone help me?
Hey i got a problem, when i connect the wii to my wifi then go to wiiconnect24 in order to get to the agreement it says connection failed, am i doing something wrong?
Also experienced this issue, but I found out that Riiconnect recently changed the primary DNS server to 167.86.108.126. The secondary DNS is still 1.1.1.1.
the only issue I have is that the RiiConnect24 patcher keeps asking me about the VC redist, and despite already having it installed, If I choose to let it install again, the patching just resets back to 0% and asks me again when it reaches like 70% or something
1 Try to download it 2 open downloads in the browser 3 Hover over the download and click the 3 dots 4 click the option below eliminate (I have this in Spanish do I don't know how it is called) 5 click show more 6 there should be 3 blue options, click the first one Then it should download
yes and technically there is a way to download homebrew without an SD card but it's recommended to prevent bricking the system. There are tons of videos on how to do so but the safest and easiest way is to have an SD card
Hey Anton, love your channel! Can you please make a video on how to install the “today and tomorrow” channel on the Wii. Can it even be used on an American Wii? Thanks!
I have a Japanese wii that I got region free and updated to the latest us wii os and when I try to install this it says I need to update my Wii to turn on Wii connect 24 however pressing quit exits and pressing update won’t work
I have wiimmfi but not the installed one, I'm using the one where I had to change the DNS to the wiimmfi one. Do I need to change the DNS for riiconnect24 to work?
if anyone is wondering about the wiiu it should work perfect besides like mail or something else but if you have riiconnect24 stuff it should work with all the channels it should work
the mail doesn't work and I patched the Today & Tomorrow channel but when I tried to download the WAD of the Today & Tomorrow channel it gave an error (multiple attempts). All the other channels (Check Mii Out, Forecast, News, and the others) DO work. Could you help?
I was homebrewing my Wii u and virtual Wii last weekend and I was wondering if there’s any way to get the mail and today & tomorrow channel too, and because this comment is related to my situation (this tutorial is for the orginal Wii only), I just decided to ask it xd So do you know something? Could you help me?
@@jmariotorto6067 I have fixed the today & tomorrow channel by myself by putting a different WAD file onto my SD card which worked but the mail service do not work on the virtual wii from my wii u? I wanna see my friend code so yeah xd

Yo I'm stuck at 4:50 I followed the instructions and when I went back to the wii system menu it said that my wii system memory was full. I tried managing the data and deleted some stuff but it still says it was full. I did try turning the wii on and off but the message showed up. Sorry if this sounded stupid as I am new to modding.

@@mmg2809 ok so do you have the Wii + Internet channel. if you do delete. it takes up a lot of blocks. and then you you should be good if you're not then come back to me.
I'm currently in the patching on phase and its taking a VERY long time, its been stuck on 45% for 15 minutes, is this normal? Is there any possibility of bricking my console if i cancel now?
I bought a second hand Wii with home brew and all these channels already on my channel list, however the SD card is not included. Does anybody know whether it would work without the formatting on the SD card? Trying to get my head around this modding stuff is a headache.
This guide is outdated, please don't use this guide. Rc24 has rebranded into wiilink24 and they no longer use this method, follow the wl24 guide next time.
Everything installed just fine only problem I'm having is actually connecting to riiconnect, I do the step where you click the Wii connect 24 button and it tries looking for an Internet connection instead, but it fails every time I try doing it so now I'm confused
So I followed this guide and followed everything correctly, however when I try to install the Mail Patch it tells me I don’t have internet. Even though my LAN adapter is plugged in and I even passed with the connection test. What should I try next?
Im getting an error with Sharpii on Windows 7 when i do this, it gives a Error 255 on the Patcher, and it throws a error that follows it, it occurs at 31% of the downloading files, and it says this: Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: !!0[] System.Array.Empty()'.
Hi, what if I already have these channels installed from the Wii Shop channel, but I keep getting info that “this channel has been discontinued” If I do this riiconnect24 would it mess anything up?
I deleted the mii channel because it was corrupted then I reinstalled it using a wad manager but it keeps get stuck at installing content #20 and wont install.
I know it’s well over a year later, but I’m having an issue with my Wii crashing as I try to install the WAD files- is there something up with my system itself?
When I click the wiiconnect24 button it asks me to agree to that wii network services agreement and if I click yes it says Wiconnect24 and wii shop channel service is nto currently being offered
Can I just use my current SD card with games and stuff and just use some yum wad to install the wads?or do I need a blank sd card? Will I get tje kirby channel in europe?
so i got everything working but on the homescreen apps still act like they dont work, for example the news channel doesnt display swiping news for me but if i go into the app it works, any fixes?
I haven’t booted my Wii in a long time and I’m trying to update my hombrew apps via the open shop channel but I can’t seem to connect to the internet. It says connection unsuccessful. Any fix?
During the patching I keep getting this error at 75%: "ERROR: The process cannot access the file 'E:\apps\yawmME\boot.dol' because it is being used by another process. Press any key to try again..." Any help? EDIT: i chose that i DID have a usb/sd however when i chose that i didnt the error didnt happen. Hopefully this helped someone!
when i tried to dowload today and tomorrow channel wad it says error 4100 and something is wrong with the ticket is there any ways to fix it i really want to play it again
I actually got my wii after all of these were discontinued so this’ll be great.

I assume so
When he says "softmodded" it's sound like you need to have a very hacked wii, but It only means that you need the homebrew channel and that's it
