My modem won’t allow me to change the settings as to be compatible with wii- cust serv can’t help- purchased a dongle but no luck - is the dongle the problem?

I bought this dongle https://imgur.com/a/jyVeHGJ

I just read while looking it up that the adapter needs a certain chipset. Tbh I don't know what that is or how to check if this has one- I am just trying to help my Wii obsessed child play Rhythm Heaven Fever and I am so frustrated with this thing. He's been asking for this game for years, he even wrote to Santa about it lol. It would be a Christmas miracle if I could get this figured out

Help Mii remember this game?

I have a game in my Wii (No, I can't access it right now) that was a little dude made out of black pixels, and you held the Wiimote sideways. You had to jump to the beat of the music, and get coins and these plus-shaped pink things that made you go faster. It was a sidescroller plataformer, and...

Ok I think that's all. I just need the name, if you need more details i'll try to answer them.

EDIT: SOLVED

Wii makes an odd sound upon enterance of a disc

I picked this up since my childhood wii kicked the bucket, it runs fine usually in gameplay, but does crash sometimes. Usually it's a disc read error. I also live in a very dusty place, so that could also be a reason. Any advice helps: how do i put a video in it doesn't let me

Where To Buy This Nunchuck Variation?

It’s clear-shelled, comes with colored LEDs (this one has pink), and has a retractable cable. I only want one with the retractable cable as I have a green one just like it but want a second for my girlfriend. Found one that’d been on OfferUp for 5 years (pictured) and tried to purchase it but it’s gone now. 🥲

Got a few questions about hacks

I'm new into modding, I've downloaded riivolution on my wii to play some cool mods, but now I'm getting more into it and I'd like to ask if anyone of you can help me First of all, is there a kind of quality upscaler? Second, ik some games don't an online function as a base setting, but is there a hack that lets me play online with my friends or random people at some games like wii sport or mario party 8/9? Last question: I've downloaded the wii food channel and tried ordering, but since I'm Italian i can't. But I've also heard that there's a way to do that by using deliveroo. How do i get to do that? Is there a guide or something? Thanks!

new idea regarding a dream i just had

so i just had a dream a couple hours before waking up about a new Wii system called "Wii Lite Portable."

it basically has the same design as a 3DS, except:

•it's about 1.5x bigger

•the top screen takes up all of the surface area of the top panel

• the joystick is actually a d-pad

• the "ABYX" buttons are actually just "1 and 2" like on the Wii remote

• it is powerful enough to handle Wii, Wii U, and 3DS games

• it's all digital, meaning you don't have to buy game cards as there is no game card slot

thoughts?

Meu Nintendo WII não liga com Fonte paralela...

Eu tenho um Nintendo WII desbloqueado aqui em casa, minha fonte original queimou, eu comprei uma fonte Genérica de Wii mas não durou nem 1 Hora e eu não consigo mais jogar nada nele, quando eu ligo a fonte na tomada, o nintendo wii começa a piscar a luz vermelha e o nintendo não liga, o que isso significa?

Eu preciso comprar uma fonte Original ou eu só dei azar e eu devo comprar uma genérica mesmo porque é barato.. se alguem poder me ajudar eu ficaria muito grato!
.
I have an unlocked Nintendo WII here at home, my original power supply burned out, I bought a generic Wii power supply but it didn't even last 1 hour and I can't play anything on it anymore, when I plug the power supply into the socket, the Nintendo Wii starts flashing the red light and the Nintendo Wii doesn't turn on, what does this mean?

Do I need to buy an original power supply or am I just unlucky and should buy a generic one because it's cheap? If anyone can help me I would be very grateful!

What will happen in 2035

I know that the highest year you can set your Wii to is 2035. i tried it on Dolphin, the time kept going, but the year and date didn't. I was wondering, how will it affect it Wii and us Wii users? (IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT. THIS IS JUST GUESSING.

How Can These 2 Games Be So Different?

https://preview.redd.it/d17gmaqr9a6e1.jpg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3376db0fd70e7cf14d53fa916dd5bd85a77f06d

I expected pure shovelware when I bought these but wow what a difference.

Santa Claus is comin to town is an actual complete game with 25 levels and a little bit of a challenge if you want to beat everything 100%. The Rudolph game on the other hand has 0 life to it with only 4 measly "levels" and no real tie to the story (you don't even play a reindeer game I mean cmon).

Both made by Red Wagon games, it just shocks me how different they play especially seeing Rudolph is a much more powerful IP.

Miis Almost Weren’t on the Wii

I’ve been researching the Miis for a few months, and their history is very interesting. I was surprised to find out that they weren’t originally made for the Wii, and barely made it onto the console at all. I put up a YouTube video this morning all about it, from the inspiration behind them all the way to Wii Sports & the huge impact they & the Wii had. I found it all fascinating. Check it out if that kind of thing interests you :)

The painful nostalgia of wii

I know there is probably hundreds of post like this but… A couple weeks a go i saw the Wii me and brothers played on growing up and thought i had to play it. It had some issues so i just decided to buy a “new” one from a retro store near me.

Man… just hearing the wii music, i couldn’t even play for like an hour. I’m the youngest of 3, and I often got left out as i’m quite a bit younger than my 2 brothers but we always “bonded” over video games starting with the Wii. The only thing they let me do with them (probably because my mom and dad made them) was play video games with them. I wish i had the balls to tell them how much it impacted me. Every game I play I get kinda “emotional”, it’s like i forgot a large part of my childhood but the wii has been unlocking memories i completely forgot.

I had some cousins who live states away and similarly, the only thing they let me do with them is play the wii growing up.

My family doesn’t really talk anymore but, thinking about the times back then, I’d give it all to go back. I hate the way the world is headed, but alas I must accept the inevitable.

Easiest method to mod a Wii?

Hi - my OG 2005 Wii's disc drive finally died, so I might as well mod it to play retro games. I remember seeing a post with a short video of a modded Wii with GameCube games on a rotating menu, complete with each game's box art. What's the simplest way to mod a Wii to play Wii, GC, and other retro games?

I'm fairly tech-savvy, but things like Linux and partitioning drives are a little above my paygrade.

Also, once I mod the Wii itself, where do I find the games to add to it (all of which I already own in physical format, of course)?

Thanks!
