sorry if this has already been covered but i was wondering if there was any truth to the fact that you lose the internet channel and online play within games when you install the homebrew channel? only found out wii homebrew [without mod chips] existed yesterday and the method in which i found out was through a forum message stating that you lose the connectivity. is this a statement similar to when you use a card like M3DS Real or the R4 with the DS? (original cartridges still connect to other players whereas the rom states played off the card do not) i dont really connect to other players, in fact, i dont for head-to-head gaming. just for the little functions like internet, miis, photo channel, shopping channel/wiiware gifts, etc..http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2133#msg-2133Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:17:23 +0100 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2150#msg-2150 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2150#msg-2150
Also, just because you have the Homebrew Channel installed, the network side of it won't activate until you actually start the channel. So if your Wii is off, it'll never interfere with anything you do on the PC]]> whodares Homebrew GeneralFri, 26 Sep 2008 00:20:09 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2148#msg-2148 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2148#msg-2148 kidkawaii Homebrew GeneralFri, 26 Sep 2008 00:11:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2135#msg-2135 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2135#msg-2135
So yes, you can have homebrew games which support network multiplayer, but the games themselves have to be designed to use the features]]> whodares Homebrew GeneralThu, 25 Sep 2008 20:22:47 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2133#msg-2133 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2133,2133#msg-2133
