my wiiconnect24 forecast channel from wl24 requires an update to even run it & news channel says wiiconnect24 standby is off, when i go to wc24 settings it tells me to update..

peak socket
#

as for the forecast channel, you probably need to get a new wad and install it

high cobalt
#

Ah ok, ty

#

Though if the eula channel doesn't fix it, what can I do?

peak socket
#

run the wii update

#

as long as you're already on 4.3 it won't break anything

high cobalt
#

Though I will try the syschannel restorer so ty

#

Also just want to clarify

#

Will the syschannel restorer do it's thing automatically or I can select specified channels (EULA Channel)

peak socket
#

you select what you want (eula)

#

there are some cool extras in there too if you want to use them

high cobalt
#

ahh ok, tysm

#

I'll let yk the results once I do it

high cobalt
#

Yeah so it's giving error 220602 & yes I'm using wiilink DNS

Here's information about your error:

Class for error 220xxx: Opera (web browser) error codes.
Error for error 220602: There is an issue with the DNS server your Wii is receiving.
Solution for error 220601: Check WLAN settings and change channel.

#

167.235.229.36 should be your primary DNS.
1.1.1.1 should be your secondary DNS.

high cobalt
#

When I enter the WL24 EULA I use the dns right?

peak socket
#

yes

high cobalt
#

ah

#

What else can I do as it keeps giving error 220602

peak socket
#

turn off the dns

#

your isp probably blocks the wiilink dns

#

wiilink will still work fine, other than extra functionality in games like animal crossing

high cobalt
#

Ahhh ok

#

So the DNS is not 100% required?

peak socket
#

no

high cobalt
#

yeah now it says 'The WiiConnect24 & Shop Channel Service is currently not being offered'

peak socket
#

what region is your console?

high cobalt
#

original NTSC J
current NTSC U

#

store region UAE

peak socket
#

uae isn't an ntsc-u country

#

right?

high cobalt
#

yeah it's PAL

#

But my console is NTSC

peak socket
#

hmm

#

that will probably cause issues

#

you may want to consider region changing the console with modmii

high cobalt
#

though the guy I was working with in the wiihacks server said it shouldn't be of issue..

#

Though can the AnyRegion changer help?

peak socket
#

don't use that by itself it can brick your console

#

download modmii on a windows computer, and use its region change wizard

high cobalt
#

Ahh ok

#

Though what region can you recommend that's around the middle east so the weather & news is accurate but NTSC

peak socket
#

why do you want ntsc?

high cobalt
#

You said using a PAL region on an NTSC console would cause issues...

peak socket
#

that's not what i meant

#

using a pal country on a ntsc console causes problems

#

which region changing to pal fixes

high cobalt
#

**Though what country can you recommend that's around the middle east so the weather & news is accurate but NTSC

high cobalt
#

sorry if you get annoyed btw😓

peak socket
#

it makes games slightly slower, but loading them through usb loader gx / wiiflow with the video mode set to ntsc alleviates that

#

it doesn't cause any issues though

high cobalt
#

Ah

#

Though would it be OK If I change country instead?

peak socket
#

yes, but then you wouldn't be able to get local weather

high cobalt
#

Though doesn't The WiiConnect24 & Shop Channel Service is currently not being offered mean it's unavailable for the country?

peak socket
#

no

#

it means that nintendo never officially offered it for that country

#

but you can bypass that by setting your country to somewhere it was available

#

then using anyGLOBE changer (not to be confused with anyREGION changer) to set your country back

high cobalt
#

Ahhh sorry yeah that's what I meant earlier

#

AnyGlobe changer

high cobalt
#

What middle eastern country supports WC24 in AnyGlobe?

peak socket
#

all of them should work if they're set in anyglobe

#

but you'll need to accept the eula first with the country set to something supported

#

i.e. the us, since your region is ntsc-u

high cobalt
#

Ahh ok, ty

#

I'll let yk the results again after

high cobalt
#

Yeah I set the region to UAE subregion Sharjah

high cobalt
peak socket
#

you need to accept the user agreements first with the country set to somewhere like the us

#

then you change it to your real country

high cobalt
#

ahh

#

So In the wii menu

#

I set it to USA

high cobalt
peak socket
#

yes correct

high cobalt
#

Ah ok, mb cuh

high cobalt
#

also @peak socket how can I delete my old forecast channel before dloading the new one?

peak socket
#

wdym

high cobalt
#

since you said to reinstall fc channep

#

How do I delete the old one?

peak socket
#

you shouldn't need to

high cobalt
#

Ok

#

Oh yeah is WiiLink Adress Setting.wad required

#

Since it won't install

peak socket
#

it's not installing because your wii is japanese

#

press - to uninstall it

#

then try again

high cobalt
#

Ok

#

Though is it required?

peak socket
#

only for wii room, digicam prints, and the food channel

high cobalt
#

Ahh ok

#

also little thing

high cobalt
peak socket
#

that's because your country is already set there

high cobalt
#

Ah

#

Though my news channel shows American news

#

'Earthquake bound in San Francisco'

peak socket
#

yeah

#

i don't think there is a news source for uae atm

high cobalt
#

ahh

peak socket
#

also, you're using the ntsc channel

#

you'd have to use the pal one for local news

high cobalt
high cobalt
high cobalt
#

@peak socket if I use pal channels

#

I can acess UAE for forecast & news?

peak socket
#

forecast - yes

#

news - you'd probably get error 107404

#

to do that, just enable region free everything in priiloader

#

and get them from the patcher

high cobalt
#

Also yes I have region free everything in priiloader

peak socket
high cobalt
#

ahh ok

high cobalt
#

ty & gn/gm

high cobalt
peak socket
#

it's just a generic http 404 error that happens in countries that wiilink's news channel doesn't have a source for

high cobalt
#

If you have connections with the dev team, let them know gulf news & khaleej times are great sources for the middle east/gcc
