[Wiimmfi](https://wiimmfi.de) is a replacement service for the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. It has been developed by Wiimm and Leseratte.
|
|
|
|
## Different patchers
|
|
|
|
There are lots of different methods to connect to Wiimmfi.
|
|
|
|
### Homebrew (Disc) Application
|
|
MrBean35000vr (creator of CTGP-R, a Mario Kart Wii content pack) created a Wiimmfi Disc Patcher that allows you to insert a disc and patch the game on-the-fly for Wiimmfi use, though this must be run every time you start the disc.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
* An SD card or USB drive
|
|
* [Auto Wiimmfi Patcher](/assets/files/autowiimmfipatcher-0.6.zip)
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Extract Auto Wiimmfi Patcher and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD card or USB drive.
|
|
2. Insert your SD Card into your Wii, and launch Auto Wiimmfi Patcher from the Homebrew Channel.
|
|
3. Insert your game disc (you can insert it before or after launch, it doesn't matter).
|
|
4. Wait for patch to complete, and it'll begin!
|
|
|
|
### No-Homebrew (Disc)
|
|
Thanks to Fullmetal5's str2hax exploit, which Leseratte was able to adapt for the Wiimmfi patcher, you can run the Wiimmfi patch without having any homebrew on your Wii.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
* A Wii with an Internet connection
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Insert your game disc.
|
|
2. Go into your internet connection settings and set the DNS server of your console to 95.217.77.151.
|
|
3. Go to the WC24 contract information (third button after clicking on "Internet" in the settings).
|
|
4. Confirm that you do want to use WC24 and the shop channel
|
|
5. The Wiimmfi patcher page should show up. If it doesn't, and you still see the default license agreement, your router might not be compatible with this method.
|
|
6. Wait for about 1 minute and 30 seconds for the patcher to load
|
|
7. The game should now start with the Wiimmfi patch included
|
|
|
|
### ISO Patching
|
|
You may not want to run a patcher each time you want to play on Wiimmfi, and maybe you already use a USB Loader. As such, ISO Patchers were created, some for specific games.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
- Your copy of your game (WBFS, ISO, cISO, and other forms that a Wii can use are supported).
|
|
- [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases/) (Windows only)
|
|
**or**
|
|
- Wiimm's ISO Patcher (cross platform)
|
|
- [Patcher for Mario Kart Wii](http://download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/mkw-wiimmfi-patcher-v6.zip)
|
|
- [Patcher for all other games](http://download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/wiimmfi-patcher-v4.7z)
|
|
- A USB Loader, cIOS, and a USB to store the game on (you should already have these if you're using a USB Loader)
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
1. Extract the patcher of your choice to a folder, and place your copy of the game in it.
|
|
2. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux. If you're using the RiiConnect24 Patcher, select your device (Wii, vWii, or Dolphin) and choose the patcher for your game.
|
|
3. Once it's finished, get the version out of the `wiimmfi-images` folder (it may be in the folder before the patcher - ../wiimmfi-images) and copy it back to your USB.
|
|
|
|
### Automatic patching using an USB-Loader
|
|
If you are already using an USB-Loader like the USB-Loader GX or WiiFlow Lite, try updating it to the most recent version. Then, there should be a "private server" setting (both in the global loader options and in the game options) which you can set to "Wiimmfi" to make the USB-Loader automatically patch every game you start to work with Wiimmfi.
|
|
|
|
### WiiWare Patching
|
|
You can patch WiiWare games in order to play them on Wiimmfi.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
|
|
- An SD card
|
|
- Your copy of your game (in WAD format)
|
|
- [RiiConnect24 Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/RiiConnect24-Patcher/releases/) (Windows only)
|
|
**or**
|
|
- [Auto WiiWare Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/auto-wiiware-patcher/releases) (cross platform)
|
|
- [Wii Mod Lite](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/Wii-Mod-Lite/releases)
|

|
|
|
Steps:
|
|
1. Extract the .zip of the latest version of Auto WiiWare Patcher, and put your WAD in it.
|
|
2. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux. If you're using the RiiConnect24 Patcher, select your device (Wii, vWii, or Dolphin) and choose the WiiWare patcher.
|
|
3. If it completed successfully, install the WAD that was made in `wiiware-wads` with Wii Mod Lite.

## Other stuff
|
|
|
|
### Mario Kart Wii Competitions
|
|
Wiimmfi allows you to participate in Mario Kart Wii competitions again.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
|
|
- An SD card or USB drive
|
|
- Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher
|
|
- [Wii](https://competitions.wiimmfi.de/competition-tool-wii.zip)
|
|
- [Wii U (vWii)](https://competitions.wiimmfi.de/competition-tool-wiiu.zip)
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions (for Wii)
|
|
|
|
1. Extract Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD Card.
|
|
2. Insert your SD card or USB drive into the Wii.
|
|
3. Launch the original Mario Kart Wii game (not Wiimmfi patched).
|
|
4. Navigate to Settings -> Network Settings (or Nintendo WFC Connection) -> Message Service. If you turned the message service feature on, turn it off and turn it on again.
|
|
5. Launch Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher.
|
|
6. The patcher will look for save files for Mario Kart Wii on your storage device in various places, and upload them. This is done in case a missing competition is found in your save file. It will also, of course, patch your Wii for competitions.
|
|
|
|
If you're using the Wii U, you will have to run the competitions patcher whenever you want to check for a competition, because WiiConnect24 is not enabled on the Wii U.
