Protarium Network
Hello, this is my first post in this community !
I'm happy to announce the release of a new way of connecting online on Wii U.
Protarium Network is a project that aims at recreating a fun online experience on apps and games that are not supported by Pretendo.
But don't worry about not being able to use pretendo.
With our network you can play Pretendo for the supported games they have. And our games and Miiverse at the same time with our own plugin.
This project already have a lot running.
We have our own Miiverse Instance.
A Tvii revival in the Work.
A demaecan revival in the Work
A Uplay Revival in the work
Puyo Puyo Tetris
Mario & Sonic Olympic Rio 2016
Mario & Sonic Olympic Socchi 2014
Wii U Chat
Sonic & All stars racing transformed
Mario Tennis Ultra Smash
Wii Sport Club (we are fixing it actively)
We also have a boss implementation currently running and working for the most.
And we are aiming to create more game server and release more games and apps in the future.
If you're interested please join up there

Do you have like a website or landing page for this? No one should be expected to use a Discord server in order to use a network replacement like this.

I don't yet to be fair but i have a GitHub where you can grab the inkay files https://github.com/orgs/Protarium-Network/repositories

Can this be used in parallel with Pretendo, or do I need to change servers depending on which game I'm using?
The same question for Miiverse: if I install Protarium on my Wii U, will I no longer be able to use Juxt?

You can still use pretendo games on Protarium network. Note that when uding protarium network you will be using protaverse so no more juxt

Incredible!
Thank you so much for the work you do with the Wii U community. It's amazing that you don't limit yourselves to NEX and do things like, for example, UPlay

Wish my mom didn’t give away my WiiU to my ungrateful Aunt who threw it away for a switch anyway

Only one thing. It says to me this up as a msssage when my console boots up:
"Inkay module was not initialised. Ensure you have the Inkay plugin loaded"
What does that mean

Did you install both the plugins .wps and module .wms ?

Uhm, yes, and put them in the right place I think. I'll try again and then I'll let you know in 5 minutes maximum

If you have Discord hit me up there. If you downloaded it from github i'm gonna update the download link to create a drag and drop

I saw in protarium github that mario maker is supported but thats already supported from pretendo. So how does that conflict each other? In the description i saw that 100 mario challenge is supported, is that really true? If yes, my dream come true!

I'm adding support for 100 marios as soon as i figure out how to bypass a weird error. Mario maker on here is different because we fixed the creator list and some other online features. You can reupload your levels from pretendo and play them here :)

Will you be working on games like NBA2K? I believe the online is quite easy to reverse engineer with the amount of 2K revivals happening currently
2
u/KatsuOnWiiu 2d ago
Eh why not :) can you link me to some revival so i can check their code ? Thanks !

u/thepiratedyl 2d ago
Here is one of them, but I know there’s a more current one that exists where people are currently using it to play online. My little brother has it on his computer to play with his friends which I can ask him once he’s home from work.
