How does this process work if you've already moved all your Wii stuff to a Wii U?

Step 1 is the exact same. Step 2 I'm not sure yet, but if your wii u can run usbloader it should be no different.

Already did that with the games I care about the save file (Brawl, MKWii and Pokémon). I am curious for the lag that will be caused with the new servers.

Just out of curiosity, would I need to do anything if I've already never connected to Nintendo Wi-Fi on my Super Smash Bros. Brawl save?

nope! Just step 2 whenever you do feel like connecting

did you enter this using method b?
Nope, I did it by inputting the DNS, and it worked.

Actually, I posted my FC because I thought we should be posting our FCs in this topic. LOL

By the way, I registered my FC in the Wiimm site and typed RSBE in the GameID field, but searching my FC in the database shows the ID as RSBJ instead of what I actually entered? Does this may cause some problems?

Geeze could you at least put ALL the regions for Brawl on the guide instead of just the American one? ugh.

RSBE - USA
RSBP - EU
RSBJ - JP

It doesn't matter what region you use, it all gets changed to J anyway

Alright, so I set-up the proper DNS to use, registered my FC online, and tried a connection test using the patched Brawl ISO with the proper connection settings and everything is working so far. Is everything usable just yet or do I have to wait until after then 20th?

Yeaaaaaah. I'm confused on the FC thing. Is it the Wii FC or Brawl FC that I input if I want to use http://wiimmfi.profeibe.at/

The same goes for all games, Wii and DS. Just the system's FCs or the actual games' FCs?

If I did step 1, does that mean I can wait for the hackless method to be done and then use that, or do I need more steps, because I really don't want a hacked wii just to play online

I tried entering my code, but it won't work. And step 2 with the DNS won't work either. ;/ I'm not very good with things like this. What do I do? My code is 2363-5289-3293 if that helps at all.

Not only that but the site tells you what your code is depending on region so I don't know (or care) why he's mad

You're all set, but I wouldn't worry about actually using the server for wifi yet until after the 20th when other ppl will be on it too

It's your 12 digit brawl Fc, you need to include the dashes

Just tried it like 20 times and it keeps telling my my code is wrong,. >.>
I entered it for you, you're fine. What error are you getting fort the dns?

(sorry for the quad post im at a tournament trying to get to everyone as fast as I can but the text box on mobile smashboards doesn't scroll)

So connecting to wifi with the right DNS, the one listed, will send your friend code and all that?

When I tried putting my code in it told me that it already exists in the database. So I'm good, right? Thanks to whoever registered my fc.

Yup

Pretty sure step 1 is the same as wii but step 2 im not sure about yet.
I didnt enter my DNS yet.Ill do that afterwards but thanks for putting the code in for me
No problem :) you will need the dns to connect after may 20 but your fc is safe

Yup you're good! I've been encouraging people to add their friends.

Will you be able to get an FC after all this wifi stuff is over? My friend and I can't do this right now and we won't be able to until after all this is over.

Yes, but you will need to restart your Brawl save. I will be providing one in the next few days that has all characters and stages unlocked.

Do I need to erase the save (Super Smash Bros. Brawl) via settings or format the entire Wii? If so, when, after or before the 20th of May?
EDIT: Same do for Mario Kart Wii?

I don't want to risk bricking my wii in order to do this DNS method. Is it ok if I wait until there is a Hackless method? How long until theres a hackless method available?

Alright I got my FC in the server a few days ago what next?
Next you do step 2, if no method is a vailable for you yet then we continue waiting

Via settings is fine, doesnt matter when you do it (id recommend after the 20th though), and yes

If your friend roster was empty it may have not been able to find you. Other than that wait a few more days, it might not be able to complete its work until after may 20.

I can't possibly tell you that. It depends on how feasible it is, right now it's just under investigation. It might not even be created at all.

I did step one, and I tried to use the riivolution method for step two, but when I click launch in riivolution, my wii freezes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I already added my friend code to the server so can I use the DNS anytime or before May 20th tomorrow? I'll probably have to hack my Wii then if there is no hackles method anytime soon.
