| Oyvoyvoyv said: I believe FCs aren't actually tied totally to discs. I'll find the link in a second, but I believe this is how it is. Your Wii has a standard friendcode. (That's your friendcode) You disc has a friendcode (that's not the one you see in the game) For security reasons, there are some mathematics done here, that make up a new friendcode which is the one you see in the game. Now this is a problem for me, as I bought a Wii for 1/3 of the price, because the FC on the Wii was broken. Therefore I can't get friendcodes for my games. |
That would do two things. First it would make the FCs non-unique making it likely that two people would get the same FC. Second it would make it impossible for the SSBB servers to tell you that a FC doesn't exist. I believe the SSBB friend codes are computed as that explains #2, but I don't believe the Wii FC has anything to do with them.
