Emulator

What would be the point of getting that done ?
Did you mean online gameplay ?!

well, that would come with emulation of the hardware. Emulation of the wifi device
in Dolphin is missing. at some point it will be added. its pretty low on the list
but yeah. at some point everything about the gamecube/wii will be emulated.

thegamefreak0134: This issue is to emulate a hardware device...at some indefinite
time in the future. Who knows? could happen :)
As to the rest of your post, the answer is probably libpcap, a cross-platform lib for
doing fancy network things (which is also what pcsx2 happens to use).

No offence thegamefreak0134. this isnt the place to request functionality. Its a
place to report bugs and issues. please remove your post and move it to the forums.
Reguardless if the wiimote was support or not this should still be listed.

Ioctls for /dev/net/ip/top need to be implemented. I've done the first one or two.

Would this mean hacki-- I mean accessing the Nintendo servers? Or making specialized
servers which mimic the Nintnedo ones?

Issue 801 has been merged into this issue.

Just as a update, Sonic1 has started this support.

would be great! : D

I don't see why this is here. The Wi-Fi is only used to connect to the internet,
hence, Netplay.

it's also used for connecting to the ds...

Ben, your completely wrong. supporting the wifi hardware has nothing to do with the
"netplay" ability that was added. Let me break it down for you, seeing your to lazy to
look it up yourself. "netplay" is for 2 player support over tcp/ip. Meaning games that
don't natively support multilayer over a network on the intended console will now work
over a network. This differs from the actual multilayer support of wifi hardware. Do
some research before posting something useless please.

All netplay does is imports the controller input for another comtroller socket from
the internet and uses it like it's local data. The other computer imports your
controller data and uses it as if it were local data. Under ideal curcumstances, the
two emualations will stay in sync and the emulation on both computers will be
identical.

Wi-fi is different: the game is designed to be grabbing data from the internet and
the processing of it is handled at a game level and the emulator only has to worry
about sending and receiving the packets for the game, just like the real LAN chip
would.

I will give the dev that adds this a cookie!

I didnt' ask to be CCd kthx XD

chaos, you just locked me to CC D:
i can't delete myself since i cant contributor :P

*can't commit

Wifi support? I'm already working hard on wifi support in desmume. And the DS wifi
device is not fully documented and it's ****ing hard to get multi-player games
working (not done yet :P )

Plus, we know nothing about the Wii's wifi device. So, right now, I can't work on
Wii's wifi :(

Try http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Hardware/802.11_Wireless
That might be useful.

We don't need to know anything about the wifi hardware itself - IOS exposes a socket-
like interface and that's all we need to emulate, I think there's some preliminary work
done already. I'm not gonna do it though :)

daco65, you can now edit issues.

thx ector.
*removes himself. im staying subscribed to this issue if it would ever come to it
that winsocks info is needed :)

Wifi support?Fantastic

http://www.gc-linux.org/wiki/Wii:WLAN

Wifi support? That would be fantastic xD

I really, seriously hope the IOS socket interface will make it easy to get it working.

Cause WFC on the DS is a bitch to get it working. So probably the WFC programs on the
Wii will be a bitch too, like they probably will break the connection because a
packet arrived one microsecond too late or something...

Is there any updates on this issue? Implementing this should be simpler than
implementing it on the DS, as you just have to implement the socket interface.

As long as you do HLE, yes. But when you switch to LLE, you'll have to emulate all
the crazy hardware that is mapped to the Starlet CPU...

Yea... Don't want this crap in my inbox, so I'm removing myself

You should change the status of this issue to Accepted.
I think 'Started' is a bit misleading to some people...

no cause there is parts of networking code done and already in dolphin thx to sonic

You mean Netplay?

It seemed to have vanished from 2.0 though. (Or it's location moved & I can't find it.)

not netplay.
this is talking about the networking emulation. the emulation of the wii's wifi
module and the gamecubes modem/broadband adaptor

No, we mean emulation of the IOS parts which deals with the Wii's WiFi connection.

When those are properly emulated, you could play games like Mario Kart Wii online using
Nintendo WFC.

well, my knowledge to that part of ios is limited but afaik there are no direct IOS
calls for wifi :/
at least not to my knowledge in libogc
but then again; i haven't done much wifi stuff; ES on the other hand... but thats
unrelated

@ nerd : my mistake, i misclicked ;)
should be somewhere in core

Issue 2870 has been merged into this issue.

"it seems that nobody is interesting in
getting this done"
How come?! Everyone is interested in getting it done. I mean by everyone: dolphin users. If you mean programmers are not interested, then I agree since it is very hard to implement. I hope they can do it oneday without need to nintendo servers.

It would be nice to have full functionality on the GC BBA so that I can play some PSO with my friends online who are now scattered about the earth. It makes it much easier than buying a GC then trying to find a BBA. Please add the full functionality on this!

its called schtserv, play pso blue burst, its free and u can use a pc your old dreamcast or an actual gc bba with pso http://schtserv.com/ Ive been playin for like 10 years, now could someone lock this thread because the people at dolphin have explicitly stated time and time again that they dont care about wifi, dolphins all about playin bootlegs from japan on day one. sorry to point it out like that, but i have yet to see someone using it for legit purposes. and watched the forum explode and support given when it came to monster hunter, anyways back to my cr-48, enjoy your fail emulator with no wifi support, nobodys smart enough to do it anyways.

nerdmas,
PsoBB != PsoGC. not even close.
and yes the BBA wont be emulated nicely any time soon(if ever); but that doesn't give you the rights to be an arse

umm schtserv has support for the gc version, you CAN hook up your gc

ye, and have fun spending a shit ton on a bba (afaik they are rare and expensive as fuck)

That's issue 647 I believe, please move that discussion there.

Would love to see Wifi support added so that I can interact with other emulator and real Wii consoles.

Won't this require some kind of randomly generated console ID mechanism? Getting this working might imply getting much of the Wii's internal frameworks implemented more fully?

Still, a wonderful prospect with games like Animal Crossing! ;)

you started this on Jan 18th, why isn't it done yet?

because you asked...

There is Wii-Network support. :)

Not complete.

Any news since august ?

Some work was done on generating a valid Wii ID for NWC24 but no way to register them yet..

Since issue 6453 only blocks this on Windows, does it work on Linux?
