=== Prototype channel animation ===
Under various circumstances, including to have [[Wii Menu]] installed → install Forecast Channel as a WAD to NAND → remove Forecast Channel from NAND again → open anything else directly from Dolphin → return to the Wii Menu, prototype logos are shown as if Forecast Channel thinks it's on System Menu 2.0 from the North American Wii launch in 2006, and will also show an Update prompt that for users of System Menu 4.3x can't update anything anyway. The rest of Dolphin will work as normal.

The prototype is often referred to as ''"Forecast Channel dummy"'', and plays a special "3 tone with fadeout" jingle when clicking on it in Wii Menu.

===Banner missing in Dolphin's game list===
Due to Forecast Channel never creating a safefile that can be seen in the Wii Menu settings, the banner will always remain blank no matter how long the channel is used.
