The wii uses an internal internet browser to communicate through the internet. By emulating this browser, you can view the wii shop from your browser.


Hats off to this guy. I wanted to do the exact same thing but still have not been able to get my hands on a wii yet.

The wii uses a browser to communicate. By emulating this browser with firefox, you can surf the wii shop.

1. Open Firefox
2. Install the User Agent Switcher

The previous tech-recipes on the use of this tool is also killer.

3. Click Tools
4. Click User Agent Switcher
5. Click Options -> Options
6. Click User Agents
7. Click Add
8. Description: wii
9. User Agent: Opera/9.00 (Nintendo Wii; U; ; 1038-58; Wii Shop Channel/1.0; en)
10. Click OK X 2
11. Click Tools again
12. Select User Agent Switcher
13. Select wii

14. Copy and paste one of these links into firefox and visit it:

Main Channel:

http://oss.shop.wii.com/oss/common/vc/W_01.jsp?language=en®ion=USA&country=US

Surf the Manual!

  • If you are THAT poor, why are you paying to have a wireless internet, or the internet at all? That's what is wrong with our world today ... they want to have it all, but can't afford to have it ... makes no sense to me!
  • Nice resource, lot of useful informations, thanks for share.
