What is Wiimmfi?

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection was shut down in 2014, but the community brought it back! Wiimmfi is a custom server replacement that allows you to play games like Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Animal Crossing: City Folk online again.

Method 1: The 'No Homebrew' Way (DNS)

This is the easiest method. You do NOT need a modded Wii. It works by tricking the Wii into connecting to Wiimmfi instead of Nintendo's dead servers.

Note: Check the compatibility list below if your game doesn't work. Not all games support the DNS method.

Method 2: Homebrew App (Disc Patcher)

If you have the Homebrew Channel, this is more reliable. You can use the 'Wiimmfi Patcher' app.

1. Download the Wiimmfi Patcher.
2. Extract to your SD card's apps folder.
3. Launch via Homebrew Channel.
4. Insert your game disc and start.
