About the Wii "interative" features, I have noclue wha you are talking about.
There is the browser and WiiConnect24. The latter is a background service, much like Windows' "Windows Update", but is much more... does more things.
Wii connect24 is a nessesit for the folowing reasons:
* Provides software updates, for both the Wii itself and any VC, WW, and AddOn channels you may have downloaded.
*Allows nintendo to send messages to you regading personal information and some such nonsense
* Allows Nintendo to patch your Wii RTFN for emergency reasons (CC information, etc.)
* Is the only thing that will make the slot light up
WiiConnect24 also does other things:
*Recieves messages from friends, and lights up that disk slot!
* Updates/Prepopulates the News/Forecast channels for stupid fast loading times.
*Allows you to send messages to people who you have exchanged Console Codes with.
If you have a Wireless network in your house, enabing WiiConnet24 is a snap! I have to be the biggest nerd on DH forums, so if you need hep, please ask!
BTW, my console Code is
5624-4634-7682-6072
Once you have registered me, M me with your code!
Your code can be found by doing the folowing (REQUIRES WiiConnect24!)
On the Wii Menu, click the envelope in the lower right hand corner (may have a number below it)...
Your enu wil flip away, revealing your Message Board.
Once there, on the lower left hand corner, you will see two icons. lick on the one with the pencil and the pad of paper.
Three things will show up. Click on the one on the right edge (shws Address book in blu text)
It wil zoom in, revealing yor console code! Write it down, doube check it, and keep it with you, incase you want to xchange codes with sombody.
Please note that it is not enoughfor just one person to register another. Because of stupid COPPA, BOTH people needs to register each other.
Sorry if I sonded like a KIA, but... some people who have had thier Wiis for months don't kow how to do that.
While my Wii was upgrading , I read the operations manuals.....
You think they are huge, but they are trilingual, so they ae really quite short things.....
I just wish they went into a little more detail. I though tI ould sendentire videos through the message bboard and stuff.
