RiiConnect24 is an alternative provider for the now-defunct WiiConnect24 service, designed to allow communication between Nintendo Wii™ consoles via the net. This allows you to use services such as the Forecast, News, and Everybody Votes Channel again, and exchange mail between other Wiis and e-mail. WADs are files that are installed onto the Nintendo Wii as channels. These channels can be The Shop Channel, Internet Channel, Mii Channel and Weather Channel, among many other game channels. The WAD Manager allows you to install custom WAD channels, such as emulator channels, and even homebrew application channels.
To any who cant get the wii menu to properly work and channels to launch properly I have a solution. In order to get a fully functional Wii Menu most important you need to download any of the latest dev builds. ES_Launch was fixed in 4.0-1953 so any dolphin dev after works... but that's not all in order to still get a fully functional Wii menu, you need Wii system menu 2.0, because 2.0 is the only Wii menu that fully works with dolphin, anything else would crash or loop when launching channels. Also to get the Mii channel to work properly, you must download the very first version anything new doesn't launch.
Step 1: Download latest Dolphin dev build
Step 2: With NUS Downloader, download Wii System Menu 2.0U, and pack as wad.
Step 3: With NUS Downloader, download the very first Mii Channel version2. pack as wad.
Final Step: Install the wads with Dolphin Emulator
Now you should be good to go. I done all the steps above and I have a fully functional wii menu. Am able to leave the game am playing and return to wii menu anytime, with anygame. Mii channel launches perfectly.

If you get error 107245, then you probably have failed to patch your IOS correctly.
If you get error 107304, then perhaps your ISP blocks the use of custom DNS. A workaround for this can be running your own DNS server! See the RiiConnect24 DNS Server on GitHub, then use your PC’s IP address in place of our DNS in Step 8.
If you get error FORE000006, your Wii’s clock is probably set incorrectly. Set it to the correct date and time, then wait no more than an hour and the Forecast Channel should start working.
