This channel functions as the Web Browser for the Wii. This channel was constructed by a collaboration between Opera Software and Nintendo, using Opera 9 as its core. Ideally, the functionality of this channel, inside Dolphin, would include: The retrieval of pages directly from a web site's HTTP or HTTPS server.

5.0-9470	Windows 10	Intel Celeron G1610 @ 2.6 GHz	Intel Ivy Bridge GT1	Works as on Wii, due to the console limitations and the very outdated browser, some webpages won't load (Like Dolphin pages for example). Uses to have a flawless performance but after some use it suddenly drops to 25-30 FPS and takes longer to load pages. Youtube won't work, the advice to download Youtube Channel no longer appears, it can "load" videos these won't play ever. Highly likely is not a Dolphin problem though.	EblfIYH
