About the project...
The Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii are two mythic consoles where players were able to play incredibly fun games anywhere in the world, such as Pokemon, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and many more!
However, we are in the 2020s, and those consoles used currently outdated Wi-Fi security. As a result, they aren’t able to connect online with today’s equipment.
Besides, the Nintendo DS and Wii’s online services (that were hosted by Gamespy) shut down in 2014. But community-driven servers exist , the most popular one being Wimmfi, and lots of players connect to them almost every day!
The project simply brings you the ability to very quickly set up a Wi-Fi access point and be able to play online, with little to no hassle, just with the help of a Raspberry Pi, and a few scripts! It also automatically updates the custom servers, if they ever change!
