Dolphin Forum thread |
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.
Problems
Tickets are not decrypted properly
The Wii Shop channel uses console specific ("personalised") tickets, which Dolphin currently does not handle correctly at all. This results in contents being decrypted incorrectly. A fix is pending.
Error 206674 after installing a title
Error 206674 will appear before a title installation completes for unknown reasons.
Configuration
This channel does not need non-default settings to run properly.
