Also known as: Wii Room (WiiLink) Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Wii Released in JP: May 1, 2009 This game has unused graphics.

This game is defunct. Do note the game no longer works at all without modifications. This is most likely due to the game's servers being shut down (as of April 30, 2012). As a result, further official developments with the game are unlikely to happen.

Wii no Ma was a Japan-exclusive Channel made by Nintendo and Dentsu that did a variety of things. It offered Videos, Promotions for other companies, and even a Shop you could buy real life items from.

This channel was discontinued on April 30, 2012. However, it is possible to restore functionality by installing WiiLink.

Unused Graphics

Present in 00000002.app/g3d are a few unused graphics in the 3D models.

In Company_Sel.lex, there is a dummy picture.

Company_Placard_Dummy has a picture which simply says "dummy" on it.

In Poster.lex, there are two dummy pictures.

Poster_Dummy has a picture of the Wii no Ma logo. It also seems to be using a different font for the No Ma portion of the text.

Poster_Dummy_02 has a less interesting looking picture.

In Regional_Poster.lex, there is another dummy picture.

Regional_Poster says "チラシダミーテクスチャ" (Flyer Dummy Texture).

In 00000002.app/layout, there is a few more unused graphics.

Screen_Test.lex in the Screen_Test folder has two more unused graphics...

Screen_Test_BG.tpl has this picture which was probably used to test if the screen width and height were perfect. The numbers correspond to the width in pixels when the channel is being used in 4:3 (608) and 16:9 (832) aspect ratio.

Sircle.tpl has a circle in a square.
