Wiimmfi, the custom server for Wii and DS online gaming operated by Wiimm & Leseratte
But it's not a situation where we'd just need a bunch of additional code / work on the server and then it's magically going to work.

It depends. Connecting to a custom server through DNS isn't something Nintendo intended, so it relies on a bug in the Wii OS that makes this work. So someone would need to find a similar bug that also works with newer games, but it's unlikely that someone will spend time on that for uncommon games.

Then it's likely that our first assumption way wrong and the game may not be compatible with this method and you'll have to use another method to connect this game to Wiimmfi.

Can you successfully connect to Wiimmfi using the DNS with another game? If so, it might just not be compatible. Or are you running into these issues with all games?

Hi Colin, sorry for the late answer. I do not know if Sonic Riders supports the hackless DNS method to connect to Wiimmfi. We have no way to 100% confirm this unless someone tells us "Yes, this game works with the DNS". On the server side, we can't distinguish between the different patchers.
