I have the same problem. I'm on an original console, but can't seem to find any opponents. When I do, I get dropped after one race. I have my Wii on a DMZ in my network. Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks.

Neither of your profiles shows any errors on the server.

@Acehunter1, CTGP doesn't support Dolphin. If you got some version of CTGP running on Dolphin, it is a very old version that nobody plays online anymore. Or are you using the "normal" MKWii? Which tutorial did you use?

@OldWoman37: If you often get disconnected, then your internet connection is probably bad. If you are using WiFi, try testing with a LAN adapter or move closer to the router. You can also try adding port forwardings for UDP 1024-65535 in your router.

Ah, you are using Wiimms MKW Fun. Unfortunately, that distribution isn't as popular as CTGP and you rarely find players in region 141. We have a tournament every Wednesday and Thursday (17:30 UTC during summer time, 18:30 UTC during winter / standard time) that is often played in region 141 (or in friend rooms hosted by me or Wiimm), but other than that, the region isn't used that often. Sometimes you can find players on the weekend, but usually, it is empty because everyone either plays standard MKWii or CTGP.

You can play standard Mario Kart Wii in Dolphin, just not CTGP. Just download the patcher for mkw ( download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/ ) and patch your ISO, and you are done.

The tournaments on wednesday and thursday are either in the region (then you just join the region at 17:30 UTC), or in friend rooms by me (2880-9868-0945) or Wiimm (0432-5226-7951). Just add both of us to the friend list, then you can join the room when it is open. You'll see our Mii flashing in purple when the room is open, and can then join it.

Well you can still play online with lots of people with the original Mario Kart Wii, just not with custom tracks.

Dolphin and Wii don't have seperate servers, they play on the same servers.

You are using Wiimms MKW Fun, which is a custom track distribution, which sadly isn't that popular and you don't always find players. That is the same for both Wii and Dolphin.

And if you are using the original Mario Kart Wii, you'll always find players to play with (both on Wii and on Dolphin), but you won't have custom tracks.
Just download this: download.wiimm.de/wiimmfi/patcher/mkw-wiimmfi-patcher-v6.zip
And then do the same thing you did to "create" the MKW-Fun image - put a clean ISO into the folder, run the "patch-wiimmfi.bat", wait, and there will be a new image in the "wiimmfi-images" folder.

That one is the standard Mario Kart Wii, without custom tracks, but patched for Wiimmfi. When you start that in Dolphin, you won't have custom tracks but you will always find players to play with.
