Generic Terminology

Files within Wii no Ma are rather coherently structured. Within the main app's U8 archive (content ID 00000026 for v1025), an xml subdirectory exists. This contains basic information about every request, and in some cases, additional information. This file format is not very well understood, and thankfully easily worked around with Dolphin's debugging. Presumably this is a way to hint types, verifiable data, and node hierarchy.

URL Structure

As noted in the documentation for config.bin, there are several configurable URL types: url1, url2, and url3.

url1 typically refers to normal, non-theater data. This includes things such as room/parade data, movies and their metadata, Concierge Miis, and poster imagery. Nintendo hosted this on Akamai originally, presumably publishing new files occasionally to refresh content.

url2 houses requestable, dynamic data. It's unknown who was used to host this. All routes via this end with .cgi. Examples include searching movies, recording movie voting data, requesting support, and getting the current time of day.

url3 is similar to url1 but entirely for the theater. For the most part, the general file hierarchy is replicated.

XML Structure

Every request follows this basic form:

<XMLType>
    <ver>123</ver>
</XMLType>

It should be noted ver is version-dependent.

Title Version	XML Version
v0/v512	1
v770	1
v1025	399

In the case of v1025, the version is divided by 100 and equated to 3. We choose 399 simply because it's possible. - anything in the range of 300-399 would work the same.

XML Types

Type	Description
Boolean	A boolean value is either the string literal 1 or 0. true and false will fail to parse.
Date	This type expects a date in YYYY-MM-DD format, such as 2021-01-13.
DateTime	Similar to the above, except in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. The T is literal: an example might be 2021-01-13T08:06:31.
