Tutorial  Updated

QuadForce - A guide to playing Triforce Arcade games on a Wii.

Important!
The latest builds of Nintendont support Triforce games now, so it is no longer necessary to use QuadForce, making this guide outdated.

In addition, this guide is also deprecated and contains outdated information about the various ISOs that exist.
The rest of this guide will remain here as a resource, in the spoiler below, however I will no longer be supporting it.

I will, in the future, make a new thread about triforce games, probably, but today is not that day.

You may (and should) use a Nintendont setup to run your games the very same way you play GameCube games with Nintendont, and it should just work.

Obtaining the ISOs is on you, it's not too difficult, but I can't tell you where or how, due to GBATemp's rules.


What is QuadForce?
QuadForce is an awesome cMIOS (Custom MIOS) made by Crediar for the Nintendo Wii that allows you to play the 4 most well known Triforce Arcade games from your SD card or USB device. Mario Kart Arcade GP, Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, F-Zero AX, and Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006. This thread aims to help anyone with a Wii, The Homebrew Channel, and a working method for installing WADs get QuadForce running.


You will need:
-A Wii
-The Homebrew Channel
-A Method for Installing WADs (Trucha Bug, AHBPROT based WAD Manager, whatever works)
-An SD card (2gb or larger if used for game storage)
-*A USB Device with storage greater than 2gb if you plan on using USB for storage.
-Any kind of decent formatter software, such as EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition
-A gamecube controller

I will not be providing you with these, and all of the software modifications required are obtainable easily through the popular PC tool by XFlak: "ModMii for Windows"

Tutorial/Setup
You have 2 options for storage, SD or USB. SD is best, but USB is convenient if you already have Dios Mios running properly or you don't have space on your SD card. USB tends to have more frame drops than an optimized SD card, but this isn't a big deal.

USB Devices
You will first need to format your USB device to FAT32 with 32K Clusters. This is the ONLY setup that will work for USB. Must be full format and the partition you use must be the first on the device. For this I highly recommend an advanced formatting software, such as EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition. USB devices are trickier to work with because there are a lot more inconsistencies among USB devices then there are among SD cards. QuadForce reserves the right to be picky, so keep that in mind. One more bit-- If you already use DIOS MIOS, then your device is set up just fine and should work with Quadforce.

SD Cards
You will first need to format your SD card to FAT with 64K Clusters for best speed. There are reports of FAT32 working, as well as reports of 32K Cluster Size working, however this usually results in slower SD read speed, that potentially can create frame drops in-game. You'll need to do a full format too, however I don't recommend the Windows Formatter, but you can give it a try if you feel like it. If you're using SDHC, higher classes are recommended. If your SD is formatted to work with DIOS MIOS LITE, then it should work with QuadForce.

Next, you'll need to get the most recent QuadForce wad. (Download 4.0 for SD Cards, Download 4.1 for USB devices) *Since this is a cMIOS, it overwrites your GCN support with QuadForce. Because of this, I also recommend keeping a copy of the RVL-MIOS-v4.wad so that you can reinstall regular GCN support any time you want, ever.*

Next, You'll need to get Dios-Mios Booter homebrew app to load the games. (here)
If you have a USB loader Set up, you can probably use it too if it is updated enough to be compatible with Dios Mios related functions.

Put Dios Mios Booter on the SD card like any other Homebrew channel app and Put the .wads from the .rar you downloaded in whatever folder you put wads in on your wads folder. (Maybe SD :/wad or SD :/wads?)

Now you'll need the Triforce Arcade games. As for getting them, you'll need to figure out on your own. Do not post asking for links. It is against the rules on this forum. Total they eat up about 1.7gb of space, which is actually pretty small considering, this also means they should be able to fit on 90% of all SD cards and USB devices today. Which is good. Something else I should mention; you can't use MAME CHDs at all for this, you need the ISOs. They aren't very hard to find, just use Google.

Optional Step for Virtua Striker 4. Ver.2006
Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006 has 2 versions; Export (English Version) and Japan (Japanese Version) which both with the same Game ID. Even worse is the Game ID is actually is shared with the japanese Virtua Striker 3 GCN game. Due to this there is an optional step you can follow to avoid this gameID trouble. It is recommended you use this tool by nubecoder to change the game ID of your Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006 ISO(s) to the Unofficial IDs that match up with GameTDB. The IDs you change them to are GVS46E for the Export ISO, and GVS46J for the Japan ISO. Additionally If you are loading the games with a USB Loader in place of Dios Mios Booter (such as USB loader GX or WiiFlow) this minor change will also make the games sync up to GameTDB's Accurate information about the game found on these pages, and also allow you to download any covers for the games from within your loader.
Japan GameTDB Page
Export GameTDB Page

Next we'll put the games on your storage device.
Now this is how the games are structured on the SD card or USB device (See Image below)
MKAGP1: ??:/games/GGPE01/
MKAGP2: ??;/games/GGPE02/
F-ZEROAX: ??:/games/GFZJ8P/
VS4 v.2006: ??:/games/GVSJ8P/
If you followed the optional step for Virtua Striker 4. Ver. 2006
EXPORT VS4 v.2006 ??:/games/GVS46E/
JAPAN VS4 v.2006 ??:/games/GVS46J
In each of these directories, there should be a "game.iso" file, and there may or may not be a "sys" folder. The "sys" folder isn't important, so if it's missing, don't worry about it. As long as your ISO's MD5 matches the dumps below, they should work fine.

So your SD card should look something like this (Unless you put the games on your USB device, where the "games" folder would be on the USB device instead) (Image only shows the files you should have You should also have your regular HBC apps and your app for managing wads)
This image is outdated, so it is missing Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006, but the paths listed above are where they go.

Now all that you need to do is use a WAD manager to install your Quadforce wad, launch Dios Mios Booter, choose a game, and you should be playing it. If not, check your SD/USB formatting, and if all else fails, try another SD/USB, and write a post about it here.

Note: Depending on your source for the F-Zero AX iso, DM-Booter might display the title 'virtuastriker2002' in place of the games actual title. This is normal. Some ISOs of Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 also have MKAGP1 and MKAGP2 as their Game IDs. See "ISO Header Changing" below if you want to edit the headers of the ISO's to change this. The Virtua Striker 4 Ver. 2006 is also a special case and was covered in an optional step above.

Something else I should mention is that sometimes 3rd party memory cards are recognized as USB geckos and can cause games to crash. If you experience this, remove the memory card from Slot B.

About Controls:
You need to have your GameCube Controller plugged in before booting the game. If you are having trouble getting your wavebird/wireless GCN controller to work, make sure it is switched on before booting any games with QuadForce, and if that alone doesn't do it, you should hold down a button or two on the controller to make sure QuadForce picks it up.

With Quadforce 3.0 and beyond, you can use the Pad Hook Options by enabling them in Dios Mios Booter's options menu for each game. Should you enable them, you can press R+Z+Start to reboot your Wii or press R+Z+B+Down to power off the Wii.

F-Zero AX Controls:
Note: When starting F-Zero AX it says "Initializing Motor..." it will shortly after ask you to calibrate the controls, circle the analog stick around a few times and press A, then B, then press Start.

Analog-Stick: Steer
A: Acceleration
B: Brakes
Y: Boost
L: Drift left
R: Drift right
Digital-Pad: change views

Mario Kart Arcade GP 1&2 Controls:
Analog-Stick: Steer, navigate menus.
R: Acceleration, (Gas Pedal)
L: Brakes, Tapping L jumps and activates sliding, during which you get a shield. (Brake Pedal)
A: Use Items, Make Selections on the Menu.
B: VS Cancel button, can do certain things depending on situation (read on-screen instructions)

Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006 Controls:
Note: When starting Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006, it will ask you to calibrate, rotate the analog sticks on the controllers you're using a few times, and then press start.

Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006 supports local multiplayer. Controller 2 goes in GCN port 2, and must be plugged in before booting the game.

Analog-Stick: Move, navigate menus
Start: Start
A: Shoot
B: Sprint
Y: Short pass
X: Long pass
Up: Tactics 1
Left: Tactics 2
Right: Tactics 3

About Card Support:
Recently added to QuadForce 3.0 is the ability to use the license card functions of Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. This allows you to save your game data! Isn't that neat? One little note: If you ever choose not to continue in either GP games, you will have to power off your Wii, as the game will ask you to remove your "License Card" which you obviously can't do, because it's just a file on the storage device.

Verify you have Working ISOs
Download A MD5 Checker to verify you have known working ISOs.
Note that the MD5 of any file will change if you modify it, so editing the header with nubecoder's tool will change it, I'll try my best to cover all possible variations of each ISO, but any small difference make the MD5 completely different.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this allow you to play GCN games?
A: No. It replaces gamecube support, and you can only re-enable it by reinstalling your regular MIOS, which will uninstal QuadForce. It's best to keep all your MIOS wads handy so you can swap between them easily. It's worth mentioning that If you have your SD/USB all set up for QuadForce, it should also work with Dios Mios Lite/Dios Mios, which runs GCN games.


Q: Does this work on Wii U in vWii?
A: No. Not at all, and it is dangerous to attempt installing it, as it can brick your vWii easily. Do not attempt this under any circumstance.


Q: Can I use this with my USB Loader?
A: Yes, as long as it is updated enough to pick up that quadforce is installed. This is especially important for version 4.1.


Q: Can I burn the ISO's to discs and run them that way?
A: No, QuadForce is only for USB and SD devices.


Q: Can I run this from EmuNAND?
A:Yes, but it's generally more buggy, and there are many reports of audio issues.


Cool Extras
Adding Ocarina/GeckoCode Support
All you need to do to add Ocarina/GeckoCode support to QuadForce is make a folder on your game storage device called "sneek" and put the "kenobigc.bin" in it. (kenobigc.bin is included with quadforce) If you're using a loader other than DMbooter, the GCT path must be set to the storage device you use for your games.

Ocarina/GeckoCodes
F-Zero AX Codes (Thanks CosmoCortney!)
Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 (Disable Menu Timers! Thanks conanac!)

ISO Header Changing:
If you have one of the ISOs with the Incorrect headers (MKAGP1 GameID, MKAGP2 GameID, or F-Zero AX's "virtuastriker2002" Title, you can use this little tool by nubecoder to edit it, and any other ISO header for Wii/GC ISOs. You may have used the tool to edit the Virtua Striker 4 Ver.2006 ISO(s) if you followed the optional step above.

Forwarder Wads for your Wii Menu
Here, i've collected some forwarder wads for convenience, if you want to have your wad added, make a post in this topic or PM me. Include the IDs they install under, and screenshots. (Just the preview, icons optional unless there are variants) (bnr's coming soon!)

F-Zero AX
Versions 1-3 are no longer available because the author of them went on a rampage and cried, and then left GBAtemp for good. Then he set the wads downloads to private because he was butthurt.
(Not mentioning any names, but you know who you are) :creep:

So am I understanding right that installing this breaks gamecube support completely? Retail Discs won't work, Dios Mios wont' USB load, Neogamma will not launch disc backups....Devolution would still work won't it?

I guess you have to just keep the wads handy on the SD card and install them based on what you want to play then.

This is my first post here and I wanted to say thanks to the fellas here providing information needed to get Mario Kart Arcade gp 1 and 2 running.. I collect arcade games, The large cabinet kinds.. In my little boys room we have Hydrothunder, Mortal Kombat 3 and most recent to our collection Area 51.. I also have a beautiful Ms. Pacman that is almost perfect that I fully restored-9 hours of hand painting to be exact- Raiden and a 60 in 1 cabinet that stays in the breakfast area of my house. Well after doing some research I realized that the Area 51 arcade game was a modded Jaguar from years ago running it..I have done all sorts of modding starting my my little boys psp's and eboots. To his wii that has a 2 TB harddrive with 475 games on it..To a 3.55 ps3 300 gb internal with 1 tb external with about 75 games on it at this time..Most of my gaming came from years of pc gaming and learning how to make games work that shouldn't or cracking pc games in general.. So I thought of the two games that I wanted to add to my collection Arcade games that I knew that I couldn't get at any time soon.. Mario Kart Arcade GP and Dirty Drivin'. Well so much for the Dirty Drivin' game for now.. But the Mario game was released a few years back and made me think of the possibilities of it being a modded system of some sort.. Well from that thought pretty much got me to a few youtube videos with Dolphin running MKAGP. I'm use to Dolphinand played Double Dash that way for the first time actually years ago.. And thought that if dolphin could run it then possibly a soft modded wii could as well..And from that thought got me to you guys.. I really appreciate all the work that has been put into and posted here.. Helped me a lot.. The biggest problem I had was getting a good dump of the iso's.. Downloaded MK 1 and 2 and F zero and all were in bin format and when converted to iso would not open or be usable.. I even tried a few different converters to make sure that was not the problem.. Eventually I gave in and said it had to be the bin downloads themselves.. Found some more and all has been great from there.. I install the triforce / Mario kart wad for shortcut.. I figured it was just that and didn't matter not being of quadforce status.. Booted fine.. Just need to do some homework on how to save my games , considering I sat down from beginning to end and beat MK GP1 and have nothing to show for it.. Pretty good game.. The rainbow track after the third race was pretty cool..
I know I wrote a lot .. and sorry for that.. I'll keep them shorter from here on out.. Again, thanks for taking the time to post here and the tutorial.. It is appreciated.. Now off to Mario Kart GP 2 : 0)

Glad I could be of help. That was the point of this tutorial/guide. Oh, and you're gonna love MKAGP2, it's much better than the original.

Hi everyone! I have problem with quadforce 4.1 for USB only. The 4 games (Mario Kart GP 1 and 2, F-zero AX and virtua striker 4)works great on my SD FAT32 32k with quadforce 4.0 for SD. I tried to do the samething on my hard drive and only Mario Kart GP 2 work. I got a black screen for the 3 others. This result happens with my usb loader gx 1215 and wiiflow too. I really don't know what is wrong.

Any way to make Mario Kart A GP2 run a little more fluidly? 1 seemed to run a little better..It's on the sd card itself and not from an external, which not sure is possible anyhow, but thought for speed reasons sd card might would be better.. Also one of the fellas that I get arcade games from just had a F zero ax. It was my first time seeing one.. The seat moved around while playing it..Seemed pretty cool.. He text me and asked was I interested in it.. I did learn that there were two version of the arcade game.. an AX and I believe a GX as well..But that one game was actually embedded into the other and could be brought out of it if you wanted.. About like Ms. Pacman is actually Pac man still and can be turned back into it easily off all original arcade boards..
So how do I stop the games from running them.. I read it somewhere by some specific button combination on the game cube controller or is it by just resetting the wii?

Oh, if yall are into modding ps3's there is a fairly cool coverflow system that is called Cceanus that works with Showtime in multiman.. I really thought that wiiflow looked really nice when I first got into wii modding and was a great way to show off the system itself.. But in my opinion I learned that USB Loader GX was a lot more stable for every game that I ran.But I still have wiiflow installed on my wii.. The coolest thing about Oceanus is that it does coverflow not for just movies on the harddrive or streaming from your network somewhere, but is also the exact same way for youtube.. That helps my 6 year old to find all of his minecraft videos that he is looking for.Runs very fluidly..
I have every NES game in N America on my wii and had a pretty nice but simple coverflow system for it. It was updated about a year ago and couldn't find another one for me to install with it since the update.Been away from the wii modding scene for a while.. Any ideas for the NES system?

Got all 4 games up and running a few months back... Would just like to give a belated thanks for the guide...

Also, thanks to Cyan... Your knack for simplifying things perfectly for me has no equal... Dozens of new mod projects I research usually result in me using your less elaborate, but much more succinct posts as my guide in lieu of the original guide/tutorial... :bow:





On to my reason for posting..

I am currently researching how to make multigame disk backups, but haven't made any as of yet ... I went through my backed up games on my pc when I came across the folder with the 4 quadforce game files in it... Instantly I thought they would be perfect to combine on one disk, and they will fit, too!...

I re-read this thread wondering if it was even possible... Don't see any mention of disk backups... I use USB Loader GX to play the quadforce games - from what I have read USB Loader GX can run multi-game disk backups - so I don't see why I couldn't have the quadforce game backups on one disk....

Could just be wishful thinking, but does anyone know with any certainty if I can do it??? My wii mod knowledge is limited, so not sure what if any kinks in the way... All I see is that Quadforce x.x-4.0 is SD card and Quadforce 4.1 is USB.... That's just for MIOS install though, right??...

Any light shed on this is much appreciated... Going to continue my reading on multi-game disks and getting a simpler group of games up and running while I await responses...

The answer would be no, there is no other method for playing these. SD or USB only. These aren't GCN games, they are Triforce games.

Hello every1, I am buying a Wii just for Virtua Striker 4, I know,...I bought a GC just for Virtua Striker 3 anyway :)

Sorry for sounding like a total noob, i understand that we lose GC compatibility once quadforce is installed, and that you can get it back by reinstalling DIOS MIOS. Will everything be the same again, meaning, will I still be able to use my GC disks properly on the console once reinstalling MIOS, exactly like before, or do i have to keep a certain backup of a certain file (like the unique keys in xbox for example). It sounds a little messy too, is there a quick tutorial on how to quickly and safely change between GC and Triforce modes, sort to speak... If i can have just Virtua Striker 3 and 4 on a machine, i'd be really happy.
