1. How To Install Wii Games
2. Internet Channel Wii Download

The Wii Shop Channel was the place Nintendo created to buy/download official software from the internet directly to your Wii. You could download lots of different content for your Wii, this includes new channels, Virtual Console games and WiiWare. The latter two could be purchased by either buying a points card at a retail store, or by entering your credit card into the channel. On January 31, 2019, the Wii Shop Channel was shut down, sadly. You can still access the shop, but there will be nothing left in the shop except the Wii U Transfer Tool and The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Save Data Update Channel.

Channels

The Wii + Internet Channel is a channel that came bundled with newly-sold Wii's, showcasing the Wii's internet capabilities. It is known for being the channel installed by the Movie-Ch Install Disc, which was used to install this channel on older Wiis which did not already have it when they were sent in for repair.

The Wii Channels section featured additional non-game channels that could be downloaded and used on your Wii.

The Wii Channels section in the Wii Shop Channel was originally under the name of WiiWare in North America and Wii Software in Europe, before moving to its own dedicated space when WiiWare launched.

Downloading

During downloads, an 8-bit Mario runs across the screen collecting coins, representing the download's progress. Every 33%, Mario will hit one of the three blocks on the screen. The third and final block is a multi-coin block that Mario will stand under and continue to hit from 99% until the download is complete. Pressing the A button will make Mario shoot fire balls if he is Fire Mario. Sometimes, Luigi appears in place of Mario, or both Mario and Luigi will swim across the screen. There are six different animations, some appearing more often than others.

Software downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel is saved onto the Wii console's internal memory. After a download is complete, the new software appears on the Wii Menu as a channel. Software can be copied to SD cards or re-downloaded for free if you purchased it. Wii consoles with system software version 4.0 can download software directly to SD cards.

Revisions and Updates

The Wii Shop Channel has received several updates since launch that have added new features and functionality.

• On February 16, 2007, PAL regions received an exclusive update that added secret pages called Warp Zones. These pages feature highly detailed background information and tips and tricks for newly added Nintendo published games. These secret pages are accessible only on certain pages through links disguised as ASCII faces.

• On March 30, 2007, PAL regions received separate news articles for every new game added in an update to the Wii Shop's front page. Previously, all new games in an update would be announced in a single piece of news (with the exceptions of some flagship titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time), with very little background information. This was added to the North American Wii Shop Channel on May 14, 2007.

• On August 6, 2007, the Wii Shop Channel's interface was heavily updated. Four 'Recommended Titles' are now featured on the Wii Shop Channel's splash page where they can be easily accessed, with new titles and prices indicated. Games are now categorized by system, genre, and publisher with the number of games in each category shown. A search tool was also added to allow users to search for a specific game.

• A December 10, 2007, update added the ability to send software as gifts to Wii Friends. Along with this update, European Wii owners were given the ability to exchange points collected on the Nintendo of Europe website ('Stars') for Wii Points. The update also included a redesigned start screen and Wii Menu icon that now promotes recently released games.

• On March 20, 2008, the Wii Shop Channel was updated in preparation for the launch of WiiWare games coming out later that spring.

• On October 22, 2008, the Wii Shop Channel received an update where the controller information was moved to a separate window within the game program. The Wii Shop Channel also prompts the user before he or she purchases a game to confirm if the user has the required controllers. The Wii Shop Channel also supposedly loads faster after this update.

• In November 2008, the Wii Shop Channel was updated by adding 'Wii Download Ticket' feature. Wii Download Tickets may be found packaged with select retail software and accessories (such as Wii Speak) and contain a 16-digit code (which can only be used once) that allows you to download specific software titles.

• On March 25, 2009, the Wii Shop Channel was updated so that channels can be downloaded to and played directly from an SD card.

• On October 20, 2009, the Wii Shop Channel was updated so that demo versions of certain games could be purchased for free at different points in time.

• On September 8, 2010, Nintendo released another Shop Channel update. This adds the 'Korean IOSes' to all regions as well as a new Shop Channel which requires an updated IOS56.

• On November 6, 2012, Nintendo released a Wii Shop Channel update alongside a new IOS (IOS62). Interestingly, nothing else was changed in the update.

Technical Information

In order to use the Wii Shop Channel, you have to configure your Wii's connection settings.It uses a secure connection to the servers, so we cannot sniff it. In previous versions of the channel, the connection wasn't secured.[1] Please note that these are outdated, and may have changed in newer versions.

You can also access the Wii Shop Channel from a PC, but it will not look as it does on the Wii, because the HTML refers to Wii-specific fonts and Wii-specific JavaScript APIs. We've tried using these codes on the Internet Channel without success.

To find out used URLs and IPs refer to the Wii.com article.

The Wii Shop Channel's title ID is 0x0001000248414241 (HABA), and for Korean Wiis, 0x000100024841424B (HABK).

If you have the latest git of libogc, available from git://hackmii.com/home/ogcgit/libogc if you have a git client, you can use the following code to start the Shop Channel and jump to a specific product:

WII_LaunchTitleWithArgs(0x0001000248414241LL, 0,'/startup?initpage=showTitle&titleId=*FULLTITLEID*', NULL /*terminator*/ );

where *FULLTITLEID* is the full ID in hex of the software.

For example, to open the European version of Columns on the Megadrive in the European version of Wii Shop Channel, you would use:

WII_LaunchTitleWithArgs(0x0001000248414241LL, 0,'/startup?initpage=showTitle&titleId=000100014d414250', NULL /*terminator*/ );

Channels in the Shop still there?

Interestingly, most of the software that was in the Shop is not completely gone, it is still on Nintendo's servers, but the software is simply hidden from plain view. If you open the Wii Message Board, then open the permotianal message from Nintendo about YouTube on Wii (others may work as well, as long as they are about a new software title), then click Start, it will launch the Wii Shop and go to the YouTube page, although, you cannot download the channel because the bottom of the page where the download button would be says 'This software is currently unavalible.'

The Internet Channel is a version of the Opera 9 web browser for use on the Wii by Opera Software and Nintendo.^[1]Opera Software also implemented the Nintendo DS Browser for Nintendo's handheld system.

Internet Channel uses an internet connection (set in the Wii Settings) to retrieve pages directly from a web site's HTTP or HTTPS server, not through a network of proxy servers as in Opera Mini products. Internet Channel is capable of rendering most web sites in the same manner as its desktop counterpart by using Opera's Medium Screen Rendering technology.

History[edit]

On May 10, 2006, the Opera Software company announced plans to develop a web browser for the Wii.^[2]

Trial version[edit]

A trial version of the Internet Channel was released in December 2006, and a full version followed in April 2007. While in the beta stages of the development, this version of the Opera web browser implements some of the most widely reported features of the prospective final version. For example, it is possible to zoom in on web pages (by one increment) with the '+' button on the Wii Remote and pan around by holding the 'B' button, and both Flash and AJAX functions are present. In addition, an alternative single-column rendering mode with large-print text can be toggled by pressing the '2' button on the Wii Remote, similar to the Small Screen Rendering mode seen on Opera's Nintendo DS Browser.

Similar to other web browsers, the trial version has a 'Favorites' system to allow users to bookmark sites. The Favorites page can be accessed either by pressing the '1' button on the Wii Remote or the on-screen button which has a star symbol. Favorites can be added, deleted and edited from the Favorites page. The browser displays a thumbnail image of each bookmarked site.

The functionality of the trial version was limited in some respects. Web addresses could only be entered on the home page and there was no browsing history (only the basic back/forward system for accessing previous pages). The browser had a difficult time handling hyperlinks that would normally open a new window via JavaScript. There were no user-configurable settings such as custom home pages (the browser has a default splash page), preferences for cookies, or parental control features (although the Internet Channel can be locked out entirely via parental control configured from the Wii Menu), and there was no way to hide or 'auto-hide' the navigation bar. Also, the total number of favorites a user could save was limited to 21 URLs.

Release version[edit]

How To Install Wii Games

The full version of the Internet Channel was released in April 2007.^[3] It was available as a free upgrade to owners of the trial version, but if the trial version had not been previously downloaded, Nintendo charged 500 Wii Points on July 1, 2007 to September 1, 2009.^[4]

Before the release of Opera 9.5, the Internet Channel's layout engine was actually more advanced than Opera for desktops, as it included bug fixes that were not available in the desktop edition prior to version 9.5.^[5]

USB Keyboard support added[edit]

USB Keyboard support was added in an Internet Channel update on October 10, 2007.^[6] In addition launch time was reduced, increased the number of favorites to be saved to 56 and gave the ability to send Favorites to people in the Wii's Address Book. It added the ability to highlight words on a Web page and copy it to the 'Search' function and the ability to type longer messages without the virtual keyboard lagging. The pricing remained the same as the release version. 500 Wii Points to initially download, free to update any previous version.^[6]

Flash Lite implementation[edit]

On September 1, 2009, the Internet Channel was updated and made available for free. Users who downloaded it when it cost 500 Wii Points were compensated with a free Nintendo Entertainment System game download of their choice from the Virtual Console, worth 500 Wii Points, between October 1 and December 31, 2009.^[7] In addition, it updated Flash Player to Adobe Flash Lite 3.1, which corresponds to a full implementation of Adobe Flash version 8 with certain features of Flash 9.^[8]

Features[edit]

The Opera-based Wii browser allows users full access to the Web and supports all the same web standards that are included in the desktop versions of Opera, including CSS and JavaScript. Like Opera 9, the Internet Channel fully passes the Acid2 web browser test. It is also possible for the browser to use technologies such as Ajax, RSS, and Adobe Flash. Opera Software has indicated that the functionality will allow for third parties to create web applications specifically designed for the use on the Wii Browser. The company has also stated that some Wii video games may implement the use of the browser.^[9]

Opera Software designed the Wii browser to suit a 'living room environment'; in contrast to the appearance of the Opera web browser on computer monitors, fonts are larger and the interface is simplified for easier use,^[9] similar to the style employed for MSN TV. Currently the user can zoom in on a detail on a web page, with animated transitions. Users are also able to insert a USB keyboard into the Wii system for text input. This functionality was added in a Wii system update and Internet Channel update (downloaded from the Wii Shop Channel) on October 10, 2007.

As the browser supports Flash, users have the ability to interact with Flash-based software using the Wii Remote. As a result, several websites have been created or expanded to gather Wii-friendly Internet games. Windows Media Player and Real Video content at this point are incompatible with the Internet Channel. The Internet Channel also supports Wii Remote button shortcuts that allows access to Favorites, Refresh, Back, Forward, Stop, Search, and Enter web page. The shortcuts are: Favorites: B+down, Search: B+left, WWW: B+right, Refresh: B+up, Back: B+minus, Forward(but not Fast Forward): B+plus.

Third-party web applications[edit]

Third party APIs and SDKs have been released that allow developers to read the values of the Wii Remote buttons in both Flash and JavaScript. This allows for software that previously required keyboard controls to be converted for use with the Wii Remote.^[10][11]

On May 8, 2007, Google created a version of Google Reader specifically formatted for the Internet Channel.^[12]

The browser was also used to stream BBC iPlayer videos from April 9, 2008 after an exclusive deal was made with Nintendo UK and the BBC to offer their catch-up service for the Wii.^[13] However, the September 2009 update caused the iPlayer to no longer operate. The BBC acknowledged the issue and created a dedicated channel instead.^[14]

In June 2009, YouTube released YouTube XL, a TV-friendly version of the popular video-sharing website. The regular YouTube page would redirect the browser to YouTube XL, if the website detects that the Internet Channel or the PlayStation 3 browser is being used.^[15]

In June 2013, YouTube shut down YouTube XL.
