Description
Game Name?¶
Game ID?¶
What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
Internet works, Connection Test succeeds but System Update fails, Opera Internet Channel doesn't navigate, online gaming confirmed to work because of alternative NWFC
RegionSelect and EULA report no internet connection for some reason (related to Nintendo shutdown?) WiiShop claims to be unavailable.
What did you expect to happen instead?
Fail to update because of hijacked console, able to see pages like google, change region, accept EULA, Blocked Store.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
[Don't assume we have ever played the game and know any level names. Be as
specific as possible.]
- In System Menu make sure that Internet is "set up", attempt a software update
- Open Internet/Shop/<insert channel with internet>
- Profit: No Connection can be made.
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-51xx
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
Doubtful: may be worse with older versions
What are your PC specifications? (including, but not limited to: Operating
System, CPU and GPU)
Irrelevant?
Is there any other relevant information? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files)
No, Currently unable to provide.

Opera Internet Channel definitely works for me. System Update does not work due to lack of Wiiconnect24 or something.

Well, in my case Internet channel doesn't load pages: it just stuck in loading....
Yeah. EULA, WiiConnect24, RegionSelect, Forecast and News Channel depend on WC24 which has been shut down.
Does system update work on a real wii?
Thank you for "setting me up"

I know Dolphin doesn't support some online features, but I'm not sure what can be done about channels that have been shut down already.
The fact Opera isn't working for you seems to be something on your end, it's worked for me since Wifi support was added; it was even shown in a few videos.

I have inserted WiFi "files" to the emulator, Internet Channel never worked.
proof that wifi and internet works on dolphin is that i play online on mario kart wii trough WiimmFi
No clue.

Internet channel is still not working, EULA doesn't even work either.
Any ideas? :(

I ran into this issue too. The cause seems to be the Wii software passing POLLHUP (an output-only flag) as an input with IOCTL_SO_POLL. Winsock poll apparently doesn't like that and returns an error status.
I don't know why the Wii software would pass POLLHUP (which, frankly, doesn't make sense), or if the flag (0x40) has an entirely different meaning when used as an input on the Wii.
I did a workaround for that issue, which was confirmed working by Juesto: https://github.com/mickdermack/dolphin/commit/e143af285f8bead5d05ce320311d4f7b8e5b5f84
A proper fix would probably include finding out what (if anything) that flag actually does.

Sounds like a hardware test is in line. Or we can just ignore it as it is breaking things. Sounds interesting regardless.

Isn't POLLHUP 0x10 on Wii? Not sure what 0x40 would be.

No, libogc does not define the flags correctly for wii.
