Guide to installing [RiiConnect24](https://rc24.xyz) on your vWii (Virtual Wii on Wii U) with: CMOC/MCC, Nintendo Channel, EVC and News Channel along with forced 4:3 aspect ratio patching.
Since certain features found in the original Wii are not present in the vWii, we can only partially utilize RiiConnect24. See [what's currently working](#whats-currently-working) for details.

#### What you need
* A PC or mobile device with internet access and the ability to interact with SD cards.
* An SD card formatted as FAT32 (at least 2GB) with enough available space. SDHC or SDXC cards formatted as FAT32 can be known to work.
* A Wii U console capable of launching the Homebrew Launcher (either via the web browser exploit, Haxchi or Coldboot Haxchi). **If you do not have a softmodded Wii U console, please follow [wiiuguide.xyz](https://wiiuguide.xyz), as well as [the virtual Wii modding guide](https://wiiuguide.xyz/#/vwii-modding) and then come back.**
* [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases) (Windows only, for now...)
After following the above linked guide, you should have:
* A vWii NAND backup and keys (keep these stored safely!!)
If you use GNU/Linux or macOS on your PC, or use a smartphone, please [follow the manual guide](https://pad.snopyta.org/s/rJ2N0B1XU), to install RiiConnect24. The patcher we provide is currently Windows-only. The end result is the same regardless of the method followed.
Using the RiiConnect24 Patcher you should've downloaded earlier in [What you need](#what-you-need), you will be downloading and patching IOS31, News, Everybody Votes, Nintendo and Check Mii Out Channels for use on your vWii.
1. Run `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat` on your PC, and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Confirm that after running through the patcher, you have 3 folders. They will be in the same folder where `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat` is and on your SD Card (of course, only if you selected an option in the patcher to do so).
- If the patcher did not move the file to the SD Card, move these 3 folders to the root of your SD card.
##### Section II - Installing the newly patched WADs
1. Open the Homebrew Channel
2. Launch Wii Mod Lite
3. Using the +Control Pad on your Wii Remote, navigate to `WAD Manager`, and then navigate to the `wad` folder.
4. When `IOS31.wad` is highlighted, press +, then do the same for all the other WADs.
5. After they are successfully installed, press the HOME Button to exit back to the Homebrew Channel
After following the above sections, you're almost able to utilize RiiConnect24 on your Wii U. You just need to perform the following steps **after every vWii reboot**.
1. On the vWii's **Wii Menu**, launch the **Homebrew Channel** and launch the **ConnectMii** homebrew application.
* This will enable the WiiConnect24 and Standby Connection flags required by the WiiConnect24 Channels.
2. Launch the WiiConnect24 Channels
* You should now be able to utilize all of the WiiConnect24 Channels you have installed!
