Hello, all.
I recently started playing MKW again after discovering Wiimmfi. I still have my original Wii from 2007 connected to a TV and in good working order but I am a big fan of how Wii games look like when running on Dolphin so that's how I play my Wii games nowadays. In fact, dolphin is the reason why I've come back to revisit some Wii games I never got to play.
Having some experience with Wii homebrew, it wasn't much of a problem to set dolphin up with my Wii's NAND dump and get connected to Wiimmfi. After the 1-week waiting period, I've been playing occasionally without any issues and race placements have been correct, since I use the Ishiiruka build and have all or most of my shaders pre-compiled and preloaded upon game launch so I am able to maintain a solid 60FPS with no shader compilation stuttering.
I've just seen the guide here and noticed this instruction:
"Then, go back to the Dolphin Emulator folder, then into Config and go to Dolphin.ini, and edit the WirelessMac line so that it contains your Wii's MAC."
I had no clue about this when I set up my dolphin Wiimmfi connection so I did not change that line in the Dolphin.ini file.
What is the purpose of doing that?
If I go and change it at this point, after I have been playing already for a while, do I risk getting banned because of reporting a different MAC address to Wiimmfi?
Thank you.
