WiiNet is a project that aims to bring some functionality to the Wii's Internet Channel so that you can use it in the modern day. So today, we're going to take it for a test drive.
WiiNet: wiinet.xyz
*You'll have to access the site from the Internet Channel to get all the features.

Hi Michael! First of all I just wanted to thank you on behalf of the team for checking out WiiNet and making this video. I’ve kept up with your content for a while and enjoy your videos. WiiNet was originally just some idea I had for shits and giggles, seeing if I could make the Internet Channel into something more useable in the modern day. The amount of support I got was a lot more than I ever anticipated. I also wanted to mention that the issue you may have encountered with the slowdown on flash games and other content is due to a problem with the channel itself that we wouldn’t be able to fix without pushing out our own version of the channel. Anyways, we hope you enjoyed checking out WiiNet and we’d like to say there’s much more we’d want to do for the future. Cheers! PS: I should’ve mentioned this but I’m not the service owner anymore. I founded the service and was the first to work on it. My friend soafen, (the one who also wrote an essay in here), did a lot of the heavy lifting and got it to where it is today.

Some interesting picks in the games section, Experimental Penguins is actually a Club Penguin prototype Double Wires is conceptually perfect for the Wii, and Pico's School has the same "doesn't fit in" vibe as MadWorld. Funny to think this was started just because, I'm only more surprised this seems to be the first, or at least first noteworthy attempt at this so far. So kudos to HighSpeedTurtle and anyone who helped

Unrelated to this video, but to the channel as a whole: I wonder if a deep-dive into how the sample music was selected for various windows releases would make an interesting video. I always enjoyed the music that came with my Dell WinXP desktop, but it always struck me as odd that none of it was remotely well-known, despite covering several genres. I've never come across anyone who's heard of Secondhand Jive or The Like Young or Big Kid. I think The Silos are the only one that's even relatively famous, and _maybe_ Dujeous. I just think it'd be neat to try and uncover why they selected the songs they did.

This just reminded me that one of the coolest features of old 8-16 bit console emulators on the wii (NES,SNES,Genesis from what I remember) is that they actually allow you to use the wiimote as a light gun for games that support it. Not sure if that feature is talked about much but it's definitely something that makes wii versions of emulators stand out compared to emulating them on anything else (atleast back in the day, but honestly I still feel like that's a stand out feature by today's standards and just another great reason to hook a wii up to a CRT for classic console emulation).

3:59 It might be lagging because maybe its not remake. It could also be emulated, as there are emulators written for the browser. I remember trying to play GBA games through the web browser on a TV or even an iPhone lagged so much (I never got past the intro screen, which would've probably took 10 minutes to get through), and the Wii browser is way older. Also I'll make sure my websites can work at least partially on the Internet Channel (bc why not)

hey man first of all i love your content second of all ive got a question i have fully homebrewed wii with almost everything it doesnt have the internet channel tho, is it possible that i can install that through a wad, will it cause issues since there already is a channel for the internet channel on my sys menu (its the channel that redirects you to the wii shop channel) i really want the internet channel since ive made a basic html site that thr browser can open plus i want to be able to use discross and wiinetxyz, is it possible that i can somehow get the internet channel on it without really doing anything crazy?? weirdly when i search this up almost nothing comes up about it just videos explaining how to install wads of wiiware stuff , ive also tried installing the internet channel wad ive got onto the emuNAND in usbloader gx but it just bugs out and locks up my wii so no luck, i can just try winging it and installing the wad onto my actual sys menu but im scared of bricking my wii since i dont have boot2.
