The Wii Shop Channel allows users to download Virtual Console games, WiiWare, and Wii Channels directly to the Wii. Nintendo uses Wii Points as the currency within the channel, and many downloads require payment.

Ideally, the functionality of this channel inside Dolphin would allow for download of Virtual Console Arcade games, WiiWare and Wii Channels directly to the Wii Menu. Currently this is impossible to achieve because of missing or improper IOS emulation.

Emulation Information

Updates

The Wii Shop Channel requires the latest version of itself to be installed. Simply do an online update to get the latest version. Note: the System Menu and its System Menu IOS must be installed for online updates to work.

Accounts

  • Keys from a real Wii are required. Nintendo's servers (and more specifically the authentication service -- IAS) check for the Wii's identity and will deny access to the shop if the device certificate is not signed by Nintendo.
  • If the device ID and certificate mismatch, Nintendo will not allow accessing the shop.
  • If your console is already registered, error 205906 will be shown on start. This is non fatal and as long as Dolphin's Wii country setting matches with the original account's, it is possible to simply dismiss the error and access the main page.

Proper NAND

The Wii Shop Channel is a bit picky about installed titles in the NAND, so a proper NAND is required.

Problems

Post-Install Error 206674

Error 206674 will appear before a title installation completes for the first time. A fix is pending.

Existing Title Updates

The Shop makes no attempt to download and install new title contents, which results in broken channels after an update. A fix is pending.
