Over the last month I implemented a Wiimmfi patcher hack for the Priiloader, and me and DacoTaco added lots of changes to the Priiloader in order to support this patcher hack.
Priiloader is a software that, when installed, sits between the boot2 and the Wii System Menu. It can be installed on Wii and Wii Mini (not on WiiU) and it can apply run-time patches to the System Menu. I wrote a new patch for the Priiloader that allows the System Menu to patch any inserted disc for Wiimmfi automatically.
That means, when the new Priiloader is installed and the Wiimmfi patch is enabled in the Priiloader settings, any Wii game you boot through the disc channel (this does not work with WiiWare or VC games) will be able to connect to Wiimmfi without the need of another Wiimmfi patcher. While being a bit more difficult to set up (because you need the Homebrew Channel, and you need to install system software like Priiloader), it is easier to use than other Wiimmfi patchers once it's set up, because nothing changes compared to connecting to the original servers - just start the game and play.
The beta version of the Priiloader and the included Wiimmfi patch is ready, and I'm now looking for beta testers with different regions (both Wii regions and Wii game regions) and with different games (both Wiimmfi-compatible ones to see if they connect to Wiimmfi, as well as non-online games to verify that this patch doesn't break them). If you'd like to test this new Wiimmfi patcher, please follow the instructions below.
Currently, the required Priiloader version is in BETA and it includes lots of changes to the previous, stable version. It has been tested on many Wiis and Priiloader itself seems to work stable. However, because Priiloader is an application that boots before the System Menu, there is still a slight chance that this could brick your Wii.
If you still wish to test, follow these instructions:
You can now start any (Wiimmfi-supported) Wii game in the disc channel, and you should be able to connect to Wiimmfi. If there are any problems that prevent games from booting, you can go back into the Priiloader by holding RESET during start, and disable the Wiimmfi patch hack again.
As of now, I have tested this hack on my Wii with 4.3E with a PAL copy of Mario Kart Wii; and on Dolphin (4.1U) with an USA image. I'm hoping to get some more testers from other regions so we can test both the other system menu regions, and the other game regions. If you have an out-of-region game disc (for example, a japanese copy of Mario Kart Wii and an american console) you can also try to enable the "Region Free Wii Games" hack in the Priiloader and test that as well.
If you've tested any game, please report here what firmware version you used (including region), what region your game is from, what game it was, and if it worked successfully. If it doesn't work properly, please go back into the Priiloader, go into the Settings, enable "dump gecko output", then go into the system menu and try again, and then send me the "prii.log" log file on your SD card.
I'm hoping to include this new Wiimmfi patch in the final 0.9 version of Priiloader once it's been tested some more.
EDIT: This feature is now available in Priiloader 0.9, so when you download and install that you'll be able to enable the Wiimmfi Patch hack.

If you still wish to test, follow these instructions:
- Make sure your Wii has firmware 4.1 or newer (4.1, 4.2 or 4.3; in any region). System Menu versions below 4.1 are not supported by this Wiimmfi patch
- Make a Bootmii NAND backup just to be sure
- Download the
priiloader-0.9-beta3.zip
from the attachment and extract it onto your SD card - Open the Homebrew Channel, start the Priiloader 0.9 beta3 installer. Then press "+" on the Wiimote (or "A" on the Gamecube Controller) to install the Priiloader.
- When it is installed, press A to return to the Homebrew Channel, then turn your console off.
- Turn the console back on while holding down the RESET button. Priiloader should start
- Go to "System Menu Hacks", navigate down to "Wiimmfi Patch v1 - SUB for XXX" (XXX is a number corresponding to your System Menu version), then press A to enable it.
- If you want, you can also enable some of the other useful hacks like "Block disc updates" and "block online updates" so you don't accidentally update your Wii.
- Move down to "Save settings", press A to save, then press B to return to the main menu
- Select "System Menu" to get into the System Menu
You can now start any (Wiimmfi-supported) Wii game in the disc channel, and you should be able to connect to Wiimmfi. If there are any problems that prevent games from booting, you can go back into the Priiloader by holding RESET during start, and disable the Wiimmfi patch hack again.
