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.

2. Confirm that after running through the patcher, you have 3 folders. They will be in the same folder where `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat/sh` 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.
