Because Nintendo WFC is going down, you need to do this before May 20.Ĭlick to expand. Wiimm and MrBean35000VR of the Wii-Homebrew community have 2 ways for you to save your friend code:Ī: Wiimm is hosting a DNS server that will collect your profile information as soon as you use it to establish a connection to Nintendo WFC. However, if you act fast, you won't need to erase your brawl save. The only way to rectify this is to erase your Brawl save and create a new one, wiping your wii's memory of your old friend code. If a new server sees you trying to connect, but doesn't know what your friend code is because it never assigned you one itself, it will try to assign you a new friend code, while your Wii is still trying to use your old one (which may have already been assigned to someone else by this new server). This is a problem for you, because the server is the one doing the assigning. The first time you connect to Wifi, your Wii is designated a friend code from Nintendo's servers. Your Wii knows what its corresponding friend code is, and will always attempt to log in with that friend code. The connection between your Wii and its friend code happens via a 'profile', which tells Nintendo's servers that wii A belongs to friend code B. Friend codes for Nintendo Wifi games are assigned server-side.
