Destructoid has an article up with one of their reader’s explanation on how to view the WiiShop using your FireFox browser. Check out the process below:
The wii uses an internal internet browser to communicate through the internet. By emulating this browser, you can view the wii shop from your browser.Â

Am I going to be trying this? Probably not. I don’t like messing with settings too much, since whenever that happens, silly Christian forgets to keep track of what he did and can’t fix a problem he created. But I’ll leave the tampering up to all of you. Be sure to let me know if the above process works!
