RiiConnect24 is a powerful addition to your Wii that allows you to use discontinued channels that were part of WiiConnect24 again. It brings new life to your Wii and lets you participate in a community, as it once was.

RiiConnect24 Patcher is a tool that streamlines the process of installing RiiConnect24 by automating the process.

Features

• Decide if you want to run the manual patching or automatic express installation.
• Can patch your Wii, vWii and Dolphin Emulator.
• You only have to download a .bat file for patching all of the RiiConnect24 services.
• The patcher will automatically download any files that are required to patch everything.
• Copying patched files to an SD Card that is already connected to the PC.
• Downloading Wii Mod Lite and RiiConnect24 Mail Patcher and putting it on SD Card along with the WADs.
• Installing .WAD files directly to your SD Card.
• Patching .WAD and .ISO/.WBFS games to work with Wiimmfi.
• Homebrew Shop built into the patcher. Powered by Open Shop Channel.
• Translated to 11 languages. English, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

For Windows, please download "RiiConnect24Patcher.bat" and run it.

The Windows patcher works on these versions:

• Windows XP - not working.
• Windows 7 (might have issues).
• Windows 8.1.

The Unix patcher should work on any Unix-like system with Bash, including macOS and Linux.

The patching process takes only few minutes depending on your CPU.

This patcher may contain bugs. If you spot any or are just having problems with the patcher in general, report them on the Issues Page, or ask help on the Discord server.
