Mobile game reconizes wii as a phone?
 

Ok i went on the POTCO website earlier on my wii, I noticed it said mobile game on it so I went to it, then after I put my acc info in it, I find myself playing the mobile game on my wii. lol

I'm not real familiar with the Wii....but for some reason it's reading the site as WML (Wireless Markup Language) just as a mobile phone would interpret it. Does the Wii have browser options you can change? Are you running The Internet Channel (Opera 9)?

Wow! I have online on my Wii I have to check that out later

whats the url i happen to be on my wii now and would like to play that.

piratesonline.com

In a standard HTML browser it comes up to the POTC Online site...in WML mode it comes up as Cannons of the Deep......

whats WML? it just tells me I need a new flash update. which i cant get.

Wireless Markup Language - this is what most mobile phones have as a browser interface. You can install a WML add-on (I use it in Firefox 3.07 for PC) and switch back and forth from HTML to WML.

I got it working in Firefox but how do you get it to log you in your account so you and transfer you loot to you pirates?

Will

Click on my pirates on the main menu and then select transfer gold or transfer loot.

:piratewheelgo2:

Yes I know that but it doesn't give me the login screen. And doesn't show any of my pirates.

Like it does on the cell phone..


Maybe its the WML plugin I am using which one is working for you?

Will

WML browser for Firefox 0.7.18

Same as me do you have any checks marked in the options?

For some reason I can't get it to login me in.. Just let me play without login in. And can't figure why it don't give me the login screen.

Any ideas?

Yes.....both options are checked

Here is a screen Shot of my pirate screen and the url but I took off the UserID. I got it to login but doesn't show my pirates.. I wonder why?? It seems to know my account from when I play on my cell phone but doesn't show my pirates.

Thanks, Will :psmiley35:

You're on the correct screen, but for some reason missing 4 or 5 options. Try clearing out your browser cache (cookies, temp files and all) and then revisit the page. Are you running the most updated version of Firefox (3.0.7) ?

:SkullBullet1:

Yes the new updated Firefox. I cleared the cache and stuff it made me login again and still the same page. I did find out I can login with my Cell phone to transfer the loot.. Just wonder why the page isn't showing up with FireFox?

That's wierd..

Has anyone else been able to run this on the wii?
 

When I try to go to the piratesonline.com the disney site says that I need to upgrade my version of flash which is not available for the wii opera browser. How are you able to do this?

I play this on my PC in the standard browser, with no addin's, or plugins.

Not understanding what the deal is here.. lol

I used the link that erich provided before he posted it, but that link on the wii and thought it reconized it as a mobile phone. I didnt try the link on here.

which link was that?

Wii
 

The current links from here work fine on my Wii and allow me to play COD but it is so hard to use that I don't recommend it. It does tell you that you have to load the latest version of Flash but that only allows you to see the links on the Disney page prior to the COD game. You don't need to use the Flash player for COD. Just use the log in URL that is listed in the other COD thread: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ad.php?t=10255
Once you have logged in, type the direct link to COD in and it will work fine. Again, this is got to be the slowest and worst way to play COD so I don't recommend it.

I tried it before. I played it on Wii before I knew I could play it on computer, so when I play I play on the computer because it's faster. But... the weird thing is. It already had my account when I played on the Wii, and I didn't even enter it in. Same on some of my computers.

yea i always most of the time played COTD on the Wii....

I tried that and it doesn't work for me. It just takes me to the normal Pirates Online website. Any ideas on what's wrong?
