Does it also work with a vWii inside a Wii U?
There are no Network Settings inside vWii but I could change the Settings in the WiiU Settings and then enter vWii.
Do you think it will also work?

Wiimm · Mar 22nd 2014, 1:01am

I have never though before about it, but I think it will work, because out own servers will only replace the discontinued WFC functionality. And at the moment, the 2 servers are only redirecting proxies.

Prof. Eibe · Mar 22nd 2014, 1:26am

Okay, everything worked as it should do.
I was able to connect and drive in official Mario Kart and connect to Wiimms Mario Kart Fun (there were no additional players^^).
And I was also able to fight a round in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

I hope you can use the information you will get with this!

IMPORTANT:
You can also try to use the DNS-Server for DS-Connections!

And here are the latest automatic generated statistics:

Hey Wiimms!
I am new here, but I have a question..
Is this way working, only because the official servers are still online? Or is it a seperate server, which will be working for itself, even if the servers are down?

I will try this out, for some other games.

Anyways, you guys are doing a great job so far! Keep it up :thumbsup:

Leseratte · Mar 23rd 2014, 11:57am

At the moment, this server is only a caching server to dump network data and works only while the original servers are online. But the key of all this dumping is that we can develop a server that works without Nintendos servers (and also after May 20th).

Zeusus · Mar 23rd 2014, 12:03pm

So, while I´m using this DNS, my data will be sent to Wiimms? And this will help? Or am I getting this wrong?

Leseratte · Mar 23rd 2014, 12:06pm

Yes, your friend list and other data from the WFC-Connection is sent to our server. When we have our own server, everyone who used this server in the past is probably able to keep his friend code / online profile. Those who didn't connect to this server until May 20th need to create a new profile when we have a custom server running.

This data also helps us to understand what a custom server has to do.
So you simply enter this DNS server and connect to WFC with all your WiFi-Games / profiles.

Zeusus · Mar 23rd 2014, 12:08pm

Alright, got it.
I will connect my Wii to this DNS later. Hopefully i can help a bit

Hi , i have just joined this forum after being pointed here , I am currently collecting packet data for Goldeneye 007 for the save the nintendo wifi project , although i am new to this kind of thing, with guidance , i have started data collection
I was also pointed here to this forum and thread and have done as required with the DNS server settings ..I hope this helps and collectively a solution can be found

Just an update ...I have been using the DNS Server shown and I have been logged on playing Goldeneye 007 all afternoon with no problems at all

This DNS server only works for the Nintendo friendcode servers right now. GoldenEye is a bit different in that it uses its own servers for internet play. (specifically a bunch of servers hosted on demonware.net). These are not logged.

Prof. Eibe · Mar 23rd 2014, 10:33pm

It seems my advertisment has worked a little bit^^

Hm about GoldenEye. I think that game will not be down on 20th May when Nintendo shut down their Wii server if it is on a different server.

Our current server is only logging the network traffic and then redirects all data to the official Server. When we know everything what is send there and back again we are probably able to replace it with our own server.

PeeJay Bonobo · Mar 23rd 2014, 10:57pm

I may not have a Wii U, but it IS working properly on 3DS on DS Mode, but the thing is, Jump Ultimate Stars is not in the database, like, the ID is there, but there's no name for the game.

As for Wii, I can connect through the private servers and still be able to join other people who aren't using the private servers.

You mena the "AJU" code? Teh problem is, that I have only a small game name list. For the Wii I use the list provided by GameTDB.

That's because the server redirects all traffic to the original servers, ans redirects back the answers.

HAARP GE 007 · Mar 23rd 2014, 11:49pm

ah ok ...i just saw on the statistics list that there was some COD games etc which had been logged which was Activision also so thought it may help with Goldeneye also ...never mind

I will just continue to data collect

Quantum of Solace is a different game from GoldenEye. From the dumps I've been submitted, the only Nintendo server GoldenEye uses is the naswii.nintendowifi.net authentication one.

Will this work for games such as guitar hero 3 and dj hero? Or do activision own servers for those too?

Zeusus · Mar 27th 2014, 11:45am

I played The Last Story, but it doesn´t seem to be on the list

Our DNS server will only redirect traffic for gpcm.gs.nintendowifi.net and gpsp.gs.nintendowifi.net. So the list includes only games, that use these 2 domains to connect to the gamespy servers. I don't know if your games use them. You can very it and the correct DNS usage, if you dump your traffic and look for DNS replies (wireshark/tcpdump filter "port 53").
* If you find both servers, the game will probably use them.
* If the IP is 76.9.146.163, the redirection should work.
If both above is function and you game is not listed, then I need your friend code and the exact time (timezone UTC or CET) to check the dumps for a different behaviour.

Zeusus · Mar 28th 2014, 2:59pm

Alright, it´s 15.00 in Germany now and I´m going into online mode with The Last Story.
I re-registered all internet options (DNS and stuff).

The Last Story FC: 3139 - 1395 - 5356
ZEUS

I hope it works now.

Wiimm · Mar 28th 2014, 4:26pm

I have added a "Friend Code Reference". So everyone can confirm by himself, if his game and FC is registered.

Zeusus · Mar 28th 2014, 10:01pm

Okay, so my FC is not on the list.. I´ll try some other games and then have a look at the list again. Maybe I did something wrong..
But The Last Story is my favourite WFC game..
I hope you can manage it to work!
