The Everybody Votes Channel is a channel that allows users to vote in simple opinion polls and compare and contrast opinions with those of friends, family and people across the globe.

The Everybody Votes Channel was available on February 13, 2007. Its release came as a surprise, as Nintendo made no announcement regarding it until after it was available for download. It is currently available as a free download in the Wii Channels section of the Wii Shop Channel.

Emulation Information

Shut Down

This channel's online functionality has been shut down as of June 28, 2013 and works in neither Dolphin or on Wii hardware.

WiiConnect24 Revival Services

WiiLink can provide WiiConnect24 support in Dolphin by enabling "Enable WiiConnect24 via WiiLink" under `Settings → Wii`.

Stale VFF Files

Users that have previously used a VFF downloader may need to delete old VFF files before the WiiLink service will work. This is because VFF files downloaded with some revisions of the VFF downloader have been hacked to never expire, so the emulated system will never attempt to download new ones.

Problems

Error 109144 ("Unable to connect to the Internet.")

Certain Wii apps that depend on Region Select, will instantly produce this error message when trying to connect to them online. While the cause of the error is debated, the error code is intended to mean "WC24 account not registered", potentially related to how all default-NAND Dolphin configurations have the Wii number (a.k.a. Friend Code) 0000 0000 0000 0000 by default. Fixing the error would potentially require changing the number, which likely requires a NAND dump; as of February 2024, third-party apps to change subregions did not work in Dolphin.

Without such a dumped NAND, the app would be 2 or 3 stars instead of 4, as the app won't proceed to the questions, voting, or Mii setup.
