The Wii Number is the 16-digit (and 64 bit) friend code of your Wii, which can be registered with other Wiis to exchange mail via WiiConnect24 (and now RiiConnect24).
It's made up of a few variables that identify your Wii:
- Hollywood ID
- The unique id of the Hollywood chip in the Wii
- Counter (mod 32)
- Increments every time you format your Wii, can range from 0-31, and back wraps around to 0 after it surpasses 31
- Hardware Model
- For Commercial Hardware:
- RVL-001 = 1 (Original Model)
- RVL-101 = 2 (Family Edition)
- RVL-201 = 3 (Wii Mini)
- For Developer Hardware:
- RVT-001 = 1
- Unknown if there are more
- For Commercial Hardware:
- Area Code:
- 1 = USA
- 2 = EUR
- 3 = JPN
- etc...
- CRC Checksum
These variables are then scrambled using a ton of complicated bitwise operations.
RiiConnect24 has source code to encode and decode a Wii Number. It has been ported to C, Golang, and Python.
