Marina (Wii)

Marina is OpenPak's Wii emulator, built on Dolphin. The goal is to boot the console's own System Menu and IOS from your NAND backup, and to run GameCube software through the Wii's own path, as on hardware.

Status

Not ready yet. Marina builds on Linux but has not been run against firmware, a game or OpenPak.

What exists so far: a Config → Wii → Connect Nintendo WFC to OpenPak checkbox, an OpenPak → Sign in menu and cloud saves for Wii titles.

Downloads

• Release: github.com/openpak/marina/releases/latest, once a tagged release exists.
• Nightly: the rolling nightly pre-release, rebuilt when the source changes. It is untested: use it to follow progress, not to play.

Sign in to OpenPak

1. Make a NAND backup with BootMii on your own Wii and import it with Tools → Import BootMii NAND Backup. Bring your own games.
2. Choose OpenPak → Sign in. The account names you and authorises cloud saves; Nintendo WFC itself has no accounts.
3. Tick Config → Wii → Connect Nintendo WFC to OpenPak.

Known limits

• Untested end to end: no game has gone online through Marina yet.
• Linux only for now.
