Wiimmfi/Online Status

Online Status is a concept of Wiimmfi designed for Mario Kart Wii. It shows the online status of a player and is implemented as bit field (each bit has its own meaning). The Online Status is calculated by server GPCM based on status and locstring sent by the Wii.

The online status is designed and only usable for Mario Kart Wii. The relevance for all other games is unknown.
