Editing Dolphin Online

==Before you get started==
'''Do NOT use this to cheat online, and do not attempt to play a certain game online if you cannot run it in Dolphin at full speed.'''

Nintendo's Wi-Fi Connection service, along with all other GameSpy-powered services, shut down on May 20th, 2014.<ref>[http://gaminrealm.com/2014/02/26/nintendo-shutting-online-wii-ds-games Nintendo is Shutting Down Online for All Wii & DS Games] (http://gaminrealm.com. Wednesday, 2 February 2014.)</ref><ref>[http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/vyWpoM6CBIe6FjW8NIY7bvzOrgBURhzw Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service for Nintendo DS and Wii has ended] (www.nintendo.com. May 20, 2014.)</ref> Most online-enabled games will not immediately be able to connect online because of this. Some games have been saved by the company that published them, such as Activision for ''Call of Duty''. The ''Wii Shop Channel'' is no longer operational. (Discontinued in 2019)

[https://wiimmfi.de Wiimmfi] was created in an effort to preserve the Wi-Fi mode for various games, and many of them can be played online again thanks to it. If you want to try out a game that connected via Wi-Fi Connection, check it out. However, be aware that Wiimmfi is not meant to be used with Dolphin. Players who aren't emulating the system at full speed constantly while online will be banned from the servers. There are ways around this, but it's best just not to try again with a certain game if it does happen while playing it.

==Requirements==
*[https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ Latest Dev Build]
*[[Emulator Files#GameCube .2F Wii|Wii Network Certs]]

==How to==
Simply copy over the certs into Dolphin's directory, the .pem files go to Dolphin\User\Wii\

'''Note: I'm not 100% sure this is all that's required, if it doesn't work, follow the steps in the table below. If it does work, delete this note, and the table below.'''

==Requirements==
*PC capable of playing Wii games at a stable 60 VPS (fullspeed)
*[https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ Latest Dev Build]
*[https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13020768/WiiCertDump.exe WiiCertDump]
*[http://www.mediafire.com/?a6hoqsic5y3lr6t IOS13-64-v1032.wad]

==How to==


Install the .wad file with Dolphin. Tools > Install WAD

Locate your dump, this should be a 1,579KB file found here: Dolphin\User\Wii\title\00000001\0000000d\content\0000011.app (the names may be different?)   If you don't have this file, make sure the wad installed, if not install it again.

Drag and drop 00000011.app (or the 1579KB file) into WiiCertDump.exe, this should create 6 files.

Install the certificate files by running the .cer files that were just created.

Now copy all the 6 files that were created to Dolphin\User\Wii\

Rename their file extensions to .pem
==Another note==


Now anyone following this guide and using the wad supplied will all be using the same certs to play online... not sure if this will cause any problems, or if Nintendo can wholesale ban the cert.

==Playing online==
You should now be able to get online with any game that supports Nintendo WFC and play online as a normal Wii would. It should also be noted that this isn't perfect yet, so there will be crashes and disconnects.
