Using the guide on the official Dolphin site here, it would not let me connect in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I copied clientca.pem, clientcakey.pem and rootca.pem to the Dolphin user folder and I was getting error 20115. Without those files, it was like error 20100 or something.
A few years back I dumped my Wii's NAND and kept a couple of backups of it. Just for the heck of it I decided to try using the real NAND dump. Luckily I already had a decrypted version of it as well, so all I had to do was copy it to the Dolphin Emulator\Wii folder (minus the sys/SYSCONF file of course). Now I'm able to connect to WFC in Brawl. I'm not sure if it was the real NAND that is responsible for me being able to connect, the Smash Bros. save that came with it, or none of these factors and it just started to randomly work.
Maybe Nintendo got smart and added some kind of check to see if it's an emulator or not, and the real NAND throws off their detection? I dunno, I'm just throwing out wild guesses here.
