Unfortunately, this project has been suspended. With school, I have been way too busy to continue coding right now. I may or may not pick up this project again in the summer. I am very sorry to all of you who were anticipating this project. |
WiiConnect is a tool to connect Wii users to eachother, without the hassle of Nintendo's "safe" crap. It will eventually be able to do many things (hopefully) listed below.
Feature List
- Homebrew Browser integration, or a homebrew downloader made by me if integration doesn't work out
- Chat (Hopefully many protocols eventually)
- E-mail (POP3, IMAP, SMTP)
- Public Profiles
- News Reader (RSS feed reader, with a Wii News RSS feed)
- Ability to poke other users on WiiConnect, no matter what feature they are using
- And More!
Features it won't Have
- Parental Controls
- Internet Safety Options
- Friend Codes
Video

Testers
It's open-source, and the latest updates are always on SVN, so everyone's a tester! Please DO NOT ask to test it.
