The '''Wii Forecast Channel''' was a channel available to WiiConnect24 users. It launched in November of 2006 and closed in 2013.
*The latest dev build of the Dolphin emulator or a WAD installer if you're on an actual Wii
==
Get the latest release of Sharpii here: https://github.com/mogzol/sharpii/releases and extract it somewhere.
To install the System Menu go to Tools -> Perform System Online Update -> Current Region.
==Generating the files==
Ok, now that we've patched the WAD we now need to get some files to actually serve the Forecast Channel. The easiest tool I've found for this is WiiLink's [https://github.com/WiiLink24/ForecastChannel ForecastChannel] generator. It requires Go and an Accuweather API key. So first thing is to download Go and add it to your PATH. Then clone the repository and run the following command:
<code>go mod download</code>
Then we'll need to edit <code>accuweather\requests.go</code> and add our API key. You can either generate one on AccuWeather's website or *wink* *nudge* find one on Google.
We'll need to generate a certificate for the Forecast Channel's files, so just go to the root ForecastChannel folder and generate the certificate using openssl (you'll need to install it on Windows): <code>openssl genrsa -traditional -out Private.pem 2048</code>
