Riiconnect24 not working

[white bane]

So yesterday i downloaded riiconnect24 on my wii u's vwii (virtual wii) and it doesnt want to connect me. I even have auto connect enabled via priiloader. And everytime i want to enable it from the settings it asks me to do an update. And when i do the update it gives me an error. Can someone help me?

[white oar]

did you try https://wii.guide/riiconnect24-vwii

[white bane]

I followed this exact guide

[white oar]

idk then (i dont have a wii u)

[white bane]

Ok no problem

[white bane]

Ill just follow it again and see

[white bane]

arl i solved the issue thanks for the help anyway

[white oar]

how did u do it

[white bane]

Turn out i did everything right i just had to switch from pretendo servers to nintendo servers😅

[white oar]

ohh

[charred flare]

can you provide error codes?

oh nope i didnt scroll down

[white bane]

No problem mate

[knotty sleet]

download wii forecast and news channels instead of vwii ones

[dense cloud]

Why wouldn't you trust what you get from the patcher?

[knotty sleet]

vwii forecast channel never updates
vwii news channel updates but doesnt have a preview in the wii menu

[white bane]

How can I get those versions on my vwii?

[knotty sleet]

repatch all but select wii patch

[white bane]

Can you explain it a lil bit more, im new to this stuff😅

[knotty sleet]

basically, open the riiconnect24 patcher, select 1 and 1 again

then follow the instructions

[white bane]

Ok

Thanks

[knotty sleet]

np

[white bane]

Wich mode do I choose?

To just install the channels

[knotty sleet]

express?

follow https://wii.guide/riiconnect24 as usual

install just forecast and news channel, the other wads will probably brick the vwii

[white bane]

I might not be able to do it now. I just got a blue screen on my laptop and it doesnt want to boot😭

Nvm

[knotty sleet]

blue screen whar

[white bane]

For some stupid reason i got it.

But now it works

[white bane]

Im talking about
1.install riiconnect24
2.uninstall it
3. Install wad files directly to the sd card
4.patch wii wad games to work with wiimmfi
5.patch wii disc games to work with wiimmfi
6. Visit homebrew shop

Same thing

[vagrant whale]

did you ever make a timestamp

https://garyodernichts.github.io/priiloader-patch-gen/

that could be the issue

not 100% sure though

[white bane]

No

I need to do this for the forecast

[vagrant whale]

try doing that

[white bane]

Ok but do i need my sd card plugged in into my pc

I dont quite understand the process of this timestamp

[white bane]

Could you explain it

Idk what a UTC is

[vagrant whale]

1. Enter the UTC offset which your Wii U system time is set to.

2. Select the region of your console.
   Click on the Generate button.

3. Copy the generated patch to your clipboard.

4. Paste it at the end of Priiloader's hacks_hash.ini.

5. You can now enable the hack in Priiloader

UTC offset is like your timezone

[white bane]

So i just enter the time?

?

[knotty sleet]

yeah

then copy the output at the end of hacks_hash.ini in priiloader

[white bane]

Ok

Do i copy it to the file name or to the end of the file

Inside

[knotty sleet]

end

inside

[white bane]

Ok

Here

[white bane]

?

[knotty sleet]

there

[white bane]

Ok copied

[white bane]

Saved it and now to the console?

[knotty sleet]

open priiloader

then go to sysmenu hacks

[white bane]

Ok

[knotty sleet]

and scroll down until you find fix universal time etc

[white bane]

And what will be the hack?

Ok booting into wii mode

Enable

?

[white bane]

?

Ok launcing news channel

I think it worked

Here

[white bane]
