The project aims to give a modified Pokemon Emerald a connection to a web server only using official hardware and no hardware modifications. All communications work by plugging it into a internet connected Wii using a DOL-011 cable.
This release includes a wii channel, a web server, and a patch for the game.
Change-list
This patch release focuses on fixing application stability and improving the experience with real network conditions.
- A public test server is now available so users don't need to run their own.
Currently this is at
130.162.161.228:9000. This is a test server so availability may not be perfect. The address will likely change in future and there is currently no validation done on traded pokemon.
- Users can now use keywords to restrict who they trade with.
Trainer profiles are 4 words. If your trainer profile starts with
FRIEND LINKthen you will only match with trainers who have your exact same profile e.gFREIND LINK POKEMON FRIENDwould link withFREIND LINK POKEMON FRIENDbut NOTFREIND LINK INVINCIBLE GRANDMOTHER
- Connection to the server now shows how many other players are connected (rather than example text)
- Request timeout recovery. You can no recover from server request timeouts be talking to the PC again (before the channel needed restarting)
- Fix rapid switching of channel menu causing memory issues and the channel to crash.
- Fix Wii audio glitch preventing looping audio
- Fix server crashing when getting sniffed by bots
- Fix some item images not loading in the web ui
- Minor text changes
