Wiimmfi is a replacement service for the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

## 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.
|
|
* Homebrew Channel (you should already have this installed)
|
|
* [Auto Wiimmfi Patcher](/assets/files/autowiimmfipatcher0.5.zip)
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
1. Extract Auto Wiimmfi Patcher and put it in the `apps` folder on your SD Card.
|
|
1. Insert your SD Card into your Wii, and launch Auto Wiimmfi Patcher from the Homebrew Channel.
|
|
1. Insert your game disc (you can insert it before or after launch, it doesn't matter).
|
|
1. Wait for patch to complete, and it'll begin!
|
|
|
|
## No-Homebrew (Disc)
|
|
Thanks to Fullmetal5's FlashHax, MrBean35000vr created a Wiimmfi Disc patcher for the Internet Channel.

|
|

|

## 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).
|
|
* Wiimm's Disc Patcher: You need [this](http://download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/mkw-wiimmfi-patcher-v3.7z) one if you're patching Mario Kart Wii, [this](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/ACW-Patcher/releases) one if you are patching Animal Crossing Wii, or [this](http://download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/wiimmfi-patcher-v3.7z) one for other Wii games such as Super Smash Bros: Brawl.
|
|
* 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 choise to a folder, and place your copy of the game in it.
|
|
1. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux.
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
|
|
## On the Fly Patching
|
|
Instead of patching the ISO you can use a USB loader which supports Wiimmfi.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
* Your copy of your game on your USB.
|
|
* A USB loader which supports setting a Private WFC server like [USB Loader GX](https://sourceforge.net/projects/usbloadergx/).
|
|
|
|
#### Instructions (for USB Loader GX)
|
|
1. On the loader's main screen, go to Settings (the gear icon).
|
|
1. Select Loader settings.
|
|
1. Search "Private Server" and change it to Wiimmfi.de.
|
|
|
|
## WiiWare Patching
|
|
You can patch WiiWare games in order to play them on Wiimmfi.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
|
|
- Your copy of your game (in WAD format).
|
|
- [Auto WiiWare Patcher](https://github.com/RiiConnect24/auto-wiiware-patcher/releases)
|

|
Steps:
|
|

|
|
1. Run the patch script for your OS: usually it will end in `.bat` for Windows and `.sh` for Mac/Linux.
|
|
1. If it completed successfully, install the WAD that was made in `wiiware-wads` with Wii Mod Lite.

## Mario Kart Wii Competitions
|
|
Wiimmfi allows you to participate in Mario Kart Wii competitions again.
|
|
|
|
#### What you need
|
|
* 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.
|
|
1. Insert your SD Card into the Wii.
|
|
1. Launch the original Mario Kart Wii game (not Wiimmfi patched).
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
1. Launch Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher.
|
|
1. 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.
