How to Play ACCF Online with Wiimmfi
Nintendo shut down their Wi-Fi service for the Wii quite a while ago.
But fortunately there are fans out there who are determined to not let that stop them from playing with their friends.
And so the Wiimmfi project was born!
Wiimmfi is essentially a replacement for the original Wii Wi-Fi Connection online gaming service.
To play your games online, both you and a friend will need to be running a patched version of the game.
This guide will go through the basics of dumping/patching/launching ACCF with online features restored.
A legit copy of Animal Crossing: City Folk
An SD card (any size should work)
A USB Drive with at least 1GB free
Insert your SD card into your computer
Launch fat32format (guiformat.exe)
Select your SD card and format it with a 32k allocation unit size (32768)
Repeat steps 1-3, but with your USB Drive
Install the Homebrew Channel
Download CleanRip and put it in your SD card’s apps folder
Insert your SD card and USB drive into the corresponding ports on the Wii (if CleanRip doesn’t detect your USB drive later in the guide, try using the other USB port on the Wii)
Launch CleanRip through the Homebrew Channel
Select USB as the device type
Select FAT as the filesystem type
Press A on the “Insert a USB FAT32 formatted device” screen
Insert your ACCF disc and press A to continue
Select “Dual Layer: No”, “Chunk Size: 1GB”
If your USB drive is 4GB or less, select “New device per chunk: Yes”
If your USB drive is more than 4GB (e.g. 8GB, 16GB), select “New device per chunk: No” and skip Step 13-18
Press A and have CleanRip rip the disc
Remove your USB drive when prompted
Insert the USB drive into your computer
Copy the ripped file (RUUE01.partX.iso) to your computer
Delete the ripped file from the USB drive
Re-insert your USB drive into the Wii
Repeat Step 12-17 until the game is completely ripped
Copy all of the ripped files (RUUE01.part1.iso, RUUE01.part2.iso, RUUE01.part3.iso, RUUE01.part4.iso, RUUE01.part5.iso) onto your computer
For Windows, follow Step 21-23, for Mac, follow Step 24-26
Open the folder where you’ve copied your ripped files
Hold Shift and Right-Click. Then select “Open command window here”
Type the following and press enter: copy /b *.part?.iso fulliso.iso
Open the Terminal app (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Type “cd” (without quotes) and then drag/drop the folder where you’ve stored your ripped files onto the terminal window, then press Enter
Type the following and press enter: cat *.part*.iso > fulliso.iso
Converting the Game to WBFS:
Click “Load” and select the folder where your ripped game is located
Right-click the “Animal Crossing Wii” entry and select “Transfer to Image”
Select the ACCF Patcher directory for your OS (e.g. C:\Users\Sean\Downloads\acw-patcher\acw-patcher-master\Windows\)
Set Image Format: Wii Backup Filesystem Container (*.wbfs)
Go into the folder where you now have your WBFS file (the one you used in Step 4 of “ Converting the Game to WBFS”)
Windows: Double-click create-image.bat, then skip to Step 6
Type “cd” then drag/drop the “Mac” folder onto the terminal Window
Type the following and press Enter: ./create-image.sh
On your USB drive, create a folder called “wbfs”
In the wbfs folder, create a folder called “Animal Crossing - City Folk [RUUE01]”
In the folder from Step 1, there’ll be a new folder called “wiimmfi-images”. Go into that folder.
Copy the RUUE01.wbfs file onto the new folder created in Step 7 (i.e. “USB:\wbfs\ Animal Crossing - City Folk [RUUE01]”)
Remove your USB drive and insert it into the Wii
Download the USB Loader GX homebrew app and put it on your SD card
Launch USB Loader GX through the homebrew channel
Optional: Press the 1 button on the WiiMote in USB loader GX to download cover art.
The patched Animal Crossing City Folk should show up. Select it to play it.
Enjoy! Feel free to ask me if you have any issues/questions.
