10. Connect your SD Card or USB Drive to your computer and select "`1`".

|
|
12. Be patient...
|
|
|
|
13. After it's done, we would appreciate if you take a minute to send anonymous feedback to us. If you don't want to, close the patcher. All the files should already be on your SD Card.
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. If it did not copy everything automatically to your SD Card or USB Device, copy the `WAD` and `apps` folder next to `RiiConnect24Patcher.bat` to your SD Card or USB Device.

|
1. Select the device you have put the RiiConnect24 files on.
|
|
1. Highlight all the WADs in the `wad` folder by pressing the + Button to select them. When all of the WADs are selected, press A twice to install the WADs.
|
|
1. After they are successfully installed, press the HOME Button to exit back to the Homebrew Channel.
|
|
|
|
##### Section III - Patching nwc24msg.cfg
|
|
|
|
You will now patch your `nwc24msg.cfg` file which is required in order to use Wii Mail.
|
|
|
|
1. Launch RiiConnect24 Mail Patcher.
|
|
2. It should only take a few seconds to patch your nwc24msg.cfg. When it's done, press the HOME Button to exit.
|
|
|
|
If you were unable to patch your nwc24msg.cfg correctly, please join [the RiiConnect24 Discord server](https://discord.gg/rc24) (recommended) or [e-mail us at support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) for further assistance.

|
|
|
|
<div class="notice--warning">{{ notice-1 | markdownify }}</div>
|
|
|
|
You will now set your DNS to our servers. This is optional but it's recommended, because it enhances the use of RiiConnect24 and Wiimmfi by making some other features available.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to `Wii Options`.
|
|
2. Go to `Wii Settings`.
|
|
3. Go to `Page 2`, then click on `Internet`.
|
|
4. Go to `Connection Settings`.
|
|
5. Select your current connection.
|
|
6. Go to `Change Settings`.
|
|
7. Go to `Auto-Obtain DNS` (Not IP Address), then select `No`, then `Advanced Settings`.
|
|
8. Type in `167.86.108.126` as the primary DNS.
|
|
9. Type in `1.1.1.1` as the secondary DNS.
|
|
10. Select `Confirm`, then select `Save`.
|
|
11. Select `OK` to perform a connection test.
|
|
12. If the connection test was successful, select `No` to skip the Wii System Update.
|
|
13. Go to `WiiConnect24`, then `WiiConnect24` again, and make sure it is enabled.
|
|
14. Back on the WiiConnect24 menu, go to `Standby Connection` and make sure it is enabled.
|
|
15. At `Slot Illumination`, we recommend you set the disc light to `Dim` or `Bright`, but this is optional.
|
|
16. Finally, go to the `Internet` section, then `User Agreements` or `Agreement/Contact`, then `Yes`. Please read through this.

It's common to get error FORE000006 on the Forecast Channel after installing RiiConnect24. If you get it, make sure your Wii's to the correct date and time, then wait no more than an hour and it may start working. [If you still get error FORE000006 or if you get NEWS000006, you will need to delete your SYSCONF with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
If you get error 107245, then you have not installed the patched IOS. Make sure you install IOS31 and IOS80 with YAWM ModMii Edition, along with any other patched WADs.
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
If you get error 220602 when loading the User Agreements, it means your Wii is still configured to use the old DNS server, which has been shut down on `June 1, 2023`. [Read more here.](riiconnect24-dns-update)
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
If you get error 107304 or you see Nintendo's User Agreement without RiiConnect24's logo, that means your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or network is blocking the use of a DNS. You can set `Auto-Obtain DNS` to `On` to solve this. RiiConnect24 will still work without it. Or, you can use our [DNS-Server](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/DNS-Server/releases/latest) program.
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
[If you're getting any other errors with the Forecast Channel or the News Channel, such as an error code starting with FORE or NEWS or a discontinued message, you can try to delete your VFFs with RC24-Clear-Tool](deleting-vffs).
|
|
{: .notice--warning}
|
|
|
|
If you're getting errors such as `WiiConnect24 and Wii Shop Channel currently not being offered in your country`, go to Wii Settings -> Last Page -> Country and change it to United Kingdom. You will get this error when using a country that we don't support. Contact us at [support@riiconnect24.net](mailto:support@riiconnect24.net) if you need more help.
