    Note: “Larsen, the current lead for RiiConnect24, has been known to steal code from WiiLink (mostly from the Nintendo Channel) and also doxx certain members of the WiiLink team. This is possible mostly due to the fact that RiiConnect24 doesn't have a privacy policy. While most users should be fine since RiiConnect24 doesn't sell user data or have a reason to doxx you specifically, it's still worth considering. Larsen is also the owner of “wii.guide.” They are very biased in RiiConnect's favor. There's a new, less biased guide made by Nintendo Homebrew, at wii.hacks.guide.”

      Yeah, regularly. I never stopped actually. Whatever broader stuff was happening throughout the gaming industry during the Wii U era was kinda just stuff I was very far removed from, I was just always at home playing Mario Galaxy and stuff on my Wii during that time completely oblivious to the broader landscape, other than younger me being annoyed that the latest Mario games like Mario U and 3D World weren't being released on the Wii because I didn't know anything about different consoles being more or less powerful than others lol. Even in the early Switch era, while I became more aware of things, I was still an active Wii user, even buying stuff off the Wii Shop Channel in 2018 just days before they started discontinuing the service haha.

    To explain the DNS Server thing, it helps to think of a DNS server as like an "internet phone book".
    When you connect to this special DNS server and the Wii says "Where can I find Nintendo's Wifi servers?" the DNS server deliberately gives them wrong directions and points them to the custom server.

      Not only that, there's an exploit that patches the system that verifies that you are connecting to the official servers on the fly, there was a screw up on the SSL encryption libraries if I remember correctly and a developer called shutterbug2000 was involved. (He did the same thing for the DS line of consoles)

    Nice video, but one thing worth mentioning is that the reason why wi-fi connection shut down was because the servers were run by gamespy, which shut down at the same time. If the servers were run by a different company it's possible the Wii's online could have stayed up longer.

      IDK, Nintendo HATES online multiplayer. Look at how they butchered online play with the WiiU, from what I heard most of it was part of the day 1 patch that they pushed out for it. I think they still would have shut down the servers just like they are doing with the 3ds and WiiU service next year. They had the opportunity to match the 360 and ps3 but chose something more akin to the ps2 and dreamcast for its, essentially, first jump into onine multiplayer. The gamecube did have a broadband adapter for stuff like PSO and Mario Kart LAN play but not many people had one.

    Early CTGP required folk to actually dump the game disc to an iso, replace the track files, and either burn it to a disc or run the game from a usb drive through homebrew apps such as USB Loader GX. This was before Riivolution dropped, as we didn't have any means to live-replace files while the game was running at the time.
    Also fun fact: The earliest tracks, such as ASDF_Course and Mushroom Peaks, were generated by using heightmaps, usually drawn in mspaint, and could only be as complex as the track they were editing as we didn't have the means to actually generate new models; we could only edit the existing ones. It wasn't until several years later, around the time Riivolution dropped, before we could actually import models properly and no longer be restrained to the confines of the existing models.

    i have so much nostalgia for the wii and 3ds that i'm really happy to see both of their respective modding scenes continue to grow! you could give me these two consoles modded ALONE and i'd need nothing else to fuel my life. the wii has the news, the forecast, the internet, tonnes of games for me to enjoy and mod to my hearts content! the 3ds has so much too, like being able to play every game from the 3ds, ds, gba, gbc and gb with a new 3ds xl and the [I DO NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORT PIRACY]. Both are great consoles and by far the best of their kind.

    Riivolution actually came out in March 2010 (source: WiiBrew Riivolution Changelog). 2013 was when the beta of CTGP-R v1.03 was released (the version we're still using today). The stable didn't come out until January 2014, so yeah it only had a run of 4 months. Online custom tracks have been a thing since 2010 for private lobbies, with CTGP v2.8 (2.8 meaning 28 tracks). The first official public lobbies for custom tracks were in November/December 2011 in CTGP-R v1.01. There was an unofficial patch add-on for v1.00 for CTWWs but it wasn't officially integrated until v1.01.

    The Wii and DS were my first consoles as a kid(Which explains why I liked the Wiiu and 3DS more than the Switch, lol), so it is great to see that fans still have not even the faintest plan of dropping their support for these old plattforms that started the current modern era of Nintendo gaming. Infact, development is actually going into the opposite direction of the plattforms being absorbed into the digital realm so even hardware failure cannot bring an end to them. Like seriously, emulator development has gotten to the point where people have been speculating about implementing a passive instance into Dolphin that will notify you about mail on the Wii Menu's notice board, that's just nuts.
    Of course, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. Some games that had nothing to do with NWFC(Like the Wii version of Dragon Quest X) still have very little chance of getting back online anytime soon, especially because most of those custom servers were not exactly documented before being shut down. But hey, it's still nice that the vast majority of the original experience continues to be preserved as of right now.

    Gotta love the nostalgia vibe...

These lines of code seemed so mysterious and magical at the time :) That was a golden era for the modding/hacking community, every month something new and existing came out. Running backups from an external HDD was the best, emulators were pretty sick too. I'm so sad that my sister sold my Wii when I was studying abroad... It's not a matter of financial loss, but to think that the time and effort I had put in there was gone for good, and lies in somebody's living room who may be ignorant of what my baby can do, that makes me sad to this day. Well, it doesn't really matter, I use Dolphin and enjoy my games at 4K and I watch lovely videos like this one :)
