Nintendo Hasn't... Quit On Wii Channels, Have They? It's been quite a while since the release of another Wii Channel. I'm starting to get bored with all the stuff Nintendo has been releasing, and I can't imagine how someone WITHOUT Homebrew is still playing their Wii. I'm hoping Nintendo NEVER quits on the Wii one day, and that maybe we need a few new channels. Of course, this is just MY opinion.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,58678#msg-58678Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:36:18 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,60506#msg-60506 Re: Nintendo Hasn't...

How do you load the app on the Wii if it's on the PC?

You don't load in on the Wii, you load it on the PC.

Or do you go to the Channel on your computer?

It is not a channel! It is a PC app. And yes, you run it on your computer.]]> Axel OfftopicThu, 07 Oct 2010 00:25:42 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,60491#msg-60491 Re: Nintendo Hasn't... Quit On Wii Channels, Have They?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,60491#msg-60491

Yes, as a PC app, that is, you double click on its icon :)


Wait... I'm confused. How do you load the app on the Wii if it's on the PC?

It is much easier.
3) Correct, exactly like any other PC application.]]> jbc007 OfftopicWed, 06 Oct 2010 01:03:38 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,60459#msg-60459 Re: Nintendo Hasn't... Quit On Wii Channels, Have They?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,60459#msg-60459

1) It says NUS Downloader is a PC app. Where do I download it into?

?? ... I'm guessing into a PC?

2) I understand for The Chanel in title ID I put "00010001-HCIx", but then it says "HEX", followed by "00010001-484349xx". What's that?

It is the hexadecimal equivalence resulting of converting each character to its ASCII value. Was it clear?

Indecently, I just downloaded a Wii No Ma WAD just to prove that it can be done. Download it with NUS Downloader and install it with your favorite WAD installer, and you are good to go (provided you have region free channel capability). No hassle with region changing the shop channel is necessary.

A few things I have questions with:

1) It says NUS Downloader is a PC app. Where do I download it into?

2) I understand for The Chanel in title ID I put "00010001-HCIx", but then it says "HEX", followed by "00010001-484349xx". What's that?

Many of the region-specific channels are joint ventures between Nintendo and other companies. For example the BBC iPlayer is only available in UK because that's the only country the BBC have broadcasting rights in.


Oh yeah, forgot about that.


EDIT: BTW, I'm only talking about this because Nintendo hasn't given any JAP channels like "Wii no ma". There is no reason in my mind why it shouldn't be allowed in PAL and USA Wii's.]]> Luigi886 OfftopicSun, 26 Sep 2010 03:25:43 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,59858#msg-59858 Re: Nintendo Hasn't...

They won't allow other browsers as all the other ones are open-source.

Um, wut? That is not the reason for not allowing other browsers. The main reason would probably be that there is one, there's no point them going through hassle to get another one. And Opera probably have some sort of exclusivity agreement too. Why on earth would the fact there are open source browsers stop them releasing a different browser? It doesn't have to be a Wii version of Firefox or Chrome or something. It could be a completely new browser. This has got nothing to do with open or closed source internet browsers for computers.]]> SifJar OfftopicTue, 21 Sep 2010 23:04:54 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,59667#msg-59667 Re: Nintendo Hasn't...

Luigi, stop throwing all those "we"s and "us"s around... a lot of the folks on this forum HAVE gotten them.




I was talking about the people who DIDN'T.

I know some people DO have them.

May I suggest speaking individually for yourself from now on? You're generalizing everyone when you say "we" instead of "I" or "me". Or at any rate, be more specific, like "we americans".

Getting back to topic... none of the available channels are personally of any use to me. At most, their just placeholders with no real meaning. Though they sound cool, they certainly have not piked my interest so that I feel compelled to download them, or use them for that matter.
Instead of developing "fun" channels, they should have made more useful channels, like what we already have in homebrew: a media player, a proper file manager, hell... I wouldn't mind if they allowed other web browsers a shot at the Wii instead of only having Opera. But that's just me.]]> Magil OfftopicTue, 07 Sep 2010 00:36:41 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,58838#msg-58838 Re: Nintendo Hasn't...

I think you use "we" too presumptuously. Not all users of this site are American.

what kinda channel would you like to see added?

Maybe someone will like that idea and homebrew it.

Not that i'm looking for another idea (currently working on three homebrew projects) but fresh ideas are always welcome!



I'm personally talking about the channels Nintendo never gave us. Japan has like, 8 different channels we don't have, and we havn't gotten a new channel in a friggin year.

It's a little un-fair, ya know?]]> Luigi886 OfftopicSat, 04 Sep 2010 05:41:22 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,58810#msg-58810 Re: Nintendo Hasn't... Quit On Wii Channels, Have They?http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,58810#msg-58810
I want to see Mario in 1080p.

Of course, Nintendo seems to have decided that releasing 700 DSes is a better option than replacing a console that was dated when it came out.]]> winmaster OfftopicSat, 04 Sep 2010 04:50:21 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,58678,58792#msg-58792 Re: Nintendo Hasn't...
