Wii Shop Hack
Posted by: Aaron Lockard on November 23, 2006 8:59:47 PM

Redirect the Wii's shop website to a site you'd like to use such as Google or Wiicade.

Here are instructions to get a somewhat working web browser on the Nintendo Wii by redirecting the content of the Wii Shopping Channel.

Download Simple DNS or another DNS server package and redirect oss.shop.wii.com to the ip address of your choice.

For example, to do it in Simple DNS Plus:

Download and Install Simple DNS Plus from: http://www.jhsoft.com/

Launch Simple DNS Plus and goto Tools -> Edit DNS Records

In the DNS records goto tools --> Quick Domain Wizard

In the domain field type "oss.shop.wii.com"

for the webserver ip type in the ip of the website in as the "Web Server IP" (if you want to find out the ip goto cmd prompt and type ping sitename.com)

For example, Google's IP is 64.233.167.99

Erase the secondary DNS Server and press OK


Now, on the Wii

Goto the Wii Menu
Wii Settings
Internet
Connection Settings
Chose your connection
Change settings
Click next 3 times until you get to the DNS setup, Click Advanced Settings
Then enter the primary DNS as your computers IP address of the computer running Simple DNS
Finally, click ok and launch the Shopping Channel, it should bring up google now!

*This will remain in the Rumors section until I am able to prove that it works.
