Surfing the Wii Shop using Firefox |
Ó
Think of this post as the almost complete reverse of this post. With that said, let's move on folks.
Okay, let me ask you guys, what can you do if you've got skillz, a WiFi packet sniffer, and a Wii? You figure out how to surf the Wii Shop Channel using Firefox of course! If in case you're interested, here's a short things of things you'll need. Just Firefox and this.
This trick involves fourteen easy steps, ending in you typing some URLs on your Firefox address bar. Now since we don't - and let me quote from fellow Blogger Victor B. - "want to wake up next to Nintendo's lawyers tomorrow", we'll leave the URLs unmentioned. But in case you're curious, here be the simple steps:
- Open Firefox
- Install the User Agent Switcher
- Click Tools
- Click User Agent Switcher
- Click Options -> Options
- Click User Agents
- Click Add
- Description: wii
- User Agent: Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1038-58; Wii Shop Channel/1.0; en)
- Click OK X 2
- Click Tools again
- Select User Agent Switcher
- Select wii
- Put one of the Wii links (if you're lucky to stumble upon 'em) into Firefox and visit it.
Curious curious.

Dont have a wii... Nice hacking?
Nintendo is ready to ban console if you look at the javascript error you can get:
a[NOA_ERROR_Fou ndOnBlacklist] = "Unable to process.
Please contact Nintendo for assistance. ";
I thought of this first.

Check the comments.
Follow these instructions, dead easy!
load regedit (start > run > type "regedit")
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Internet Settings > 5.0 > User Agent
Clear all entries in that key (there wasn't anything there for me)
Add "(Default)" string with value "Opera/9.00"
Add "Compatible" string with value "Nintendo Wii"
Add "Platform" string with no value
Add "Version" string with value "U"
Create a new Key in User Agent called "Post Platform"
in Post Platform Add "After" string with value "1038-58; Wii Shop Channel/1.0; en"
...and you're done!

I got it to work, but on the main channel, it won't go past the first screen.
Hmmm... I wonder if this will work with the Playstation Store. Then we won't have to buy a PS3 to download PS1 games to the PSP.
Well, somebody acted on it. Prophetic call though. Nice!
