Welcome to the WiiLink Patcher!
This application automatically downloads and patches everything you need to get your console setup with WiiLink!
Changelog:
- Files are now always saved to
Downloads/WiiLink
due to issues on macOS - Windows builds are now signed (thanks SignPath Foundation for providing us with a free certificate!)
- This means Windows builds are less likely to be falsely flagged as viruses
Launching the patcher:
Windows:
Simply download the Windows release (onefile or zip) of your choosing, and open the exe!
macOS:
Download the macOS release for your Mac (x64 for Intel, arm64 for Apple Silicon), and extract it. Then, launch Terminal. Type in xattr -d com.apple.quarantine
with a trailing space, drag the patcher app file into the terminal, and press enter. After this, you can just right click the app file and choose Open
!
Linux:
Download the Linux release for your computer's architecture and extract it. Then, open a terminal, and use cd
to change to the directory you extracted the patcher to. Run chmod +x WiiLinkPatcherGUI
to make the patcher executable, and ./WiiLinkPatcherGUI
to run it.
Tip
On some Debian and Ubuntu based distros, the patcher may fail to launch with the following error:
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found.
You can resolve this by running sudo apt install libxcb-cursor-dev
.
