On May 20, Nintendo will put an end to DS and Wii Wi-Fi Connection functionality, and with it the last Nintendo-sanctioned method of transferring WarioWare D.I.Y. wares for distances of over 65 feet. Before that happens, let's make and swap as many microgames, records and comics as we can!

Friend codes (DS):

Sergio (1): 2537 1140 5873
Sergio (2): 3140 1088 2254
Duncan: 4815 1511 7637
SpindleyQ: 1763 5139 9796
snapman: 0088 4880 2877
Cycle: 3569 6204 9809
racarate: 2796 5299 8891 [updated]

Important Update: it is apparently impossible to register new Wii friend codes, so that option is now off the table. :(

If you want to be added to this list, send me a PM with your friend code!

Submitting to this event

Items in your warehouse are available to download for everyone you've mutually swapped friend codes with, but I'd appreciate notifications of anything made specifically for the event. You can also submit game pages for them here on the site if you want!

I plan to convert and archive all submissions as .mio files for posterity. I will also accept direct .mio submissions from anyone with the ability to make them. If this event takes off they could see release as the Glorious Trainwrecks WarioWare D.I.Y. Pirate Kart, which I'll worry about the logistics of later.

Potentially helpful tools

If you want to share your work as .mio files, or do additional editing on your computer, these tools could help! They typically require a flashcart, emulator, or access to your WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase save file.

1. DeSmuME is capable of emulating WarioWare D.I.Y. almost perfectly! I'm sure that only members of this upstanding community who already own the game will choose to seek the ROM for use with the tools below.
2. miotool by yasu (Ctrl+F 'miotool' to find) allows you to transfer .mio files (representing games, records and comics) between your save file and computer. On the same page, mioedit (Ctrl+F 'mioedit' to find) can be used to edit a game's internal assets and presentation. I used it extensively for Eat a Baby!
3. bobmcjr is currently developing a tool with a wide variety of uses! It currently allows save editing from a wide variety of input formats, some batch dumping, and even MIDI export for records! Follow this thread, or download the latest version here.
4. CrygorTool is similar to miotool, but doesn't subtly inject the text 'yasu' into everything you run through it. May be useful if you experience issues with the above tools.
5. Combining DeSmuME with LICEcap has allowed me to make some pretty sweet microgame GIFs. I'm happy to make GIFs of submitted microgames on request for those unable to.

Tips

1. In order to connect your DS to the internet, you'll have to access a router using WEP encryption, an outdated encryption method that you are almost certainly not currently using! You can also make it work by just turning off wireless security entirely.
2. Your friend code can be found (after connecting to the internet at least once) under Distribution Centre > WFC > Friend Settings on the top screen.

Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try my best to add answers here!
