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!
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.
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. Also, if the tutorials are boring you, skip them with my DeSmuME save file (comes with a bunch of submitted games as a bonus)!
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!
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.
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
In order to connect your DS to the internet, you'll have to access a router using WEP encryption, an outdated encryption method that you are almost certainly not currently using!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.
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!
