If only we could somehow convince Nintendo to release their SSL key and direct their DNS to a fan server.
Doesn't pretty much every game's interface with Nintendo WiFi Connection differ depending on developer whims? I am assuming that considering the GTS in the pokemon titles connects to WFC, and there are numerous DNS bypasses for that, that there are differences in online security between titles. If Nintendo were using a global SSL key to do that, then we wouldn't have the GTShax, right?
The authentication (friend codes and the like) is shared between games. GTS hax will also stop working when NWFC goes dark.

Well, to be fair, this a service for an obsoleted console that has been around for 10 years now.

To put it in perspective,the Xbox Live service for the original Xbox was discontinued in 2010, having been alive and (sort of) kicking for 8 years. It's not as though these sorts of things can and should continue forever, you know.

You have a point tho'

To be honest, Nintendo's kinda low on financial resources right now

I'm still cancelling my plans to buy games for Nintendo. This is pretty bad in my perspective

I know the games are fun to play and I enjoyed then but, I'll just plan of selling my DS games that Supports WFC away.

It's kind of using the old wifi version, which, most of us already changed to the better one.

And this was what I was waiting on :P (Rather, any link that's a fake NWFC.)

Wow someone already made an alternate NWFC

its kinda risky, but its possible to install the Homebrew channel without "chipping" or "flashing" your wii? Hope is the last thing one should lose

All you need is an SD card and a MAC code which you can obtain in the wii and can be done in 5 minutes of pressing the 2 button repeatedly.

im trying this already, it could connect but there's nobody. besides, i think the instructions changed a bit since the last time i checked, am i right?

There aren't very many players on at a time unfortunately. You'll basically need to arrange a match with friends or try asking around in their chat room, #altwfc on rizon.
There are also some bugs in their server and it goes down occasionally.
