Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was an online multiplayer gaming service for the Wii, allowing free online play. While different games were supported for longer than others, all games are no longer able to play through conventional means as of August 2023. To regain Nintendo WFC functionality, this guide provides instructions on installing Wiimmfi. There are several different methods to connect to Wiimmfi listed in order of least to greatest difficulty - choose the method that suits your situation best.

If you get error 23904 while connecting to Wiimmfi, then you are using an outdated patch.<br> Follow the steps below for the method you're using to connect to Wiimmfi again.<br> See [this page](https://wiimmfi.de/update) for more details.<br>

### No-Homebrew (Disc)

A method for Wiimmfi patching which runs on retail game discs automatically through the usage of a custom DNS server. While convinient, it only works with a small selection of games including Mario Kart Wii and SSBB. Due to the nature of this process, it can be run on Wiis without homebrew.

If you get error 20100 or 20110, the game you are trying to play is not supported by this method.
{: .notice--warning}

If you get error 23400, your ISP or network is blocking the use of a custom DNS.<br> To solve this issue, Wiimmfi has a custom DNS server that can be ran on your PC - you can read about it [here](https://wiimmfi.de/patcher/dnspatch#customdns).

A method for Wiimmfi patching which runs on retail game discs, but must be manually launched via the Internet Channel (derives from [Flashhax](flashhax)).

1. Go to `Wii Settings`.

1. If it completed successfully, install the WAD that was made in `wiiware-wads` with YAWM ModMii Edition.

### DS Games

A method for Wiimmfi patching which runs on game disc images, but must be manually run on a PC via a script.

1. Open the extracted folder and copy your Wii game images into it.
    + If you're on Windows, double-click the `patch-images.bat` file (this may also be displayed as "patch-images" Batch File). If you run into Cygwin-related issues, try the `patch-images-32.bat` file instead.
    + If you're on MacOS, open a command line prompt in the current folder, make the shell script executable through the command `chmod +x *.sh` and then execute `./patch-images.sh`.
    + If you're on Linux, double-click the `patch-images.desktop` file (this may also be displayed as "Patch Images") or execute the `./patch-images.sh` file in a terminal after making it executable through the command `chmod +x *.sh`.
1. If the above was successful, you should see a window pop-up that displays the patching process. Once the process finishes, you will find the patched images in a folder called `wiimmfi-images`.
