−The News and Forecast channels download data packages from Nintendo servers via plain http connection.+Some examples:+http://weather.wapp.wii.com/1/076/short.bin+http://weather.wapp.wii.com/1/076/forecast.bin

−The compression is very simple:
−# Read one byte
−# For each bit of the byte, msb-to-lsb,
−#* if 0, copy one byte to the output
−#* if 1, read 16 bits msb first in v, copy n bytes at offset m from the end of the output, n=3+(v>>12), m=v & fff
−
−Quick and very dirty C code:
−<source lang="c">
− i = 0x144;
− j = 0;
− while(i < size) {
− int k;
− int v = data[i++];
− for(k=0; k<8; k++)
− if(!(v & (1 << (7-k)))) {
− result_data[j++] = data[i++];
− } else {
− int vv = (data[i] << 8) | data[i+1];
− int nb = 3+(vv >> 12);
− int off = (vv & 0xfff);
− int l;
− i+=2;
− for(l=0; l<nb; l++) {
− result_data[j] = result_data[j-off-1];
− j++;

−The '''News Channel''' downloads data packages from Nintendo servers via plain HTTP connection. The official servers for the News Channel were discontinued on June 28, 2013; however, [[RiiConnect24]] has since restored its functionality.
−The data files are RSA-2048-SHA1 signed, and the LZ10 compressed content begins at 0x140. A Kaitai file documenting the file structure can be found [https://github.com/RiiConnect24/Kaitai-Files/blob/master/Kaitais/news_file.ksy here], and code used by RiiConnect24 to download news data and generate files is available [https://github.com/RiiConnect24/File-Maker/tree/master/Channels/News_Channel here].
