#### Section I - Running the patcher
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. Either in the
same folder as `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat`, or on your SD card (depending on
what options you selected in the patcher). If they are in the same folder as
the `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat` file, move the folders to the root of your SD
card.
##### Section II - Installing the newly patched WADs
1. Follow the [Wii Mod Lite guide](wiimodlite) to install the following WAD
files that are now on your SD card:
* `Everybody Votes Channel (REGION) (Channel) (RiiConnect24).wad`
* `IOS31 Wii U (REGION) (RiiConnect24).wad`
* `Mii Contest Channel (REGION) (Channel) (RiiConnect24).wad`
* `News Channel Wii U (REGION) (Channel) (RiiConnect24).wad`
* `Nintendo Channel (REGION) (Channel) (RiiConnect24).wad`
**NOTE**: You do not have to download Wii Mod Lite yourself, the patcher has
already downloaded it for you. It is available to launch from the **Homebrew
Channel**.

##### Section III - Using 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 RiiConnect24 applications.
2. Launch the RiiConnect24 applications
* You should now be able to utilize all of the RiiConnect24 applications you
have installed!
#### What's currently working?
The following RiiConnect24 services are **working** on the vWii:
* News Channel
* This channel is affected by the timestamp issue. The "Last Updated" and article timestamps will be incorrect.
* The banner data is also known to not work, returning `Unable to obtain
data.`
* Nintendo Channel
* Everybody Votes Channel
* Check Mii Out Channel / Mii Contest Channel
