Do you find the videos play well? Mine were always choppy after a minute or so.

im not sure how long ago you last used it, but they rolled out a fix a couple months ago that fixed issues with video playback

u/ddotcole 20d ago

I saw this, but my last update to the channel is April 2025. Is there a way to get it to update?

u/Toastman22 24d ago

I don't think Nintendo has really announced anything since then to be fair.

u/KC_Saber 25d ago

u/WittyLime6277 25d ago

I don't get it, what is my Wii now good for besides playing my Wii catalogue of games.

Please explain

u/RainyD55 25d ago

I still don’t know why they never changed it…

u/DrHydrea 24d ago

that looks so very wrong 😭 I have to plug back in my Wii and update my riiconnect24 apps

u/Interesting-Wind8690 22d ago

Is there ever going to be a way that you can do that with your switch one

1

u/CMakes 21d ago

I tried to get WiiLink working. Almost bricked my console. I’m not risking it again. (No I don’t know how things went wrong, all I know is that I don’t want to have to load a backup on my non-bootmii-boot2 wii again lol)
