Before i begin, thank you for creating this thread @JuanMena, and for the links @Larsenv .

I had no idea a universal iso patcher existed for Riivolution builds, especially for MKW. I have 2 genuine MKW copies, one i bought when released and another i picked up through trade. Both are in very good condition, so using Riivolution is not a problem for me since i have 3 Wii's and 1 WiiU with capable disc drives. However, the Wii i used years ago, i soldered for homebrew and played my discs on failed. First the disc drive, then the SD, before the console burnt out completely.

I post this for 2 reasons...

#1
For Wii/U owners using legitimate copies of MKW to play through Riivolution, the disc drive will fail at some point, the Wii is nearly 20 years old and the WiiU 12 years old. This is my #1 problem, using SD/USB wbfs solves the disc drive issue but a 16 year old game is a piracy issue?

#2
As i mentioned, the mod scene is not slowing down and i think most users (NOW) are not using either a Wii/WiiU console to play the mods, but using Dolphin to play online. This is where the problem exists!

So i have patched many other distributions and tested, i also include my experiences from other previous distributions. I only include what works for me (many distributions do not work with the iso patcher) and worth mentioning.

CTGP Dolphin - Beautiful!!! - Basically the current CTGP working with no issues and just got updated.

CTGP Revolution Classic - Beautiful!!! - More tracks included from Dolphin release. No issues other than being a few months older than Dolphin.

Retro Mix - Beautiful!!! - All Retro tracks SNES-Wii U available with GOOD custom tracks included.

Revo Kart 8 Deluxe - I have only played/tested 8-10 races but this is Professional work.

Infinite - Just started testing, it is huge with tracks, missing a few of my favorites, but covers most. No issues so far.

-----


Shuffle - Love this release but occasionally i get Le-Code dump after completing Grand Prix.

Deluxe 8.1 - Beautiful code dump will occur at any moment. Le-Code.

Fusion Diamond - Maybe the best custom pack made riddled by Le-Code error.

Wiimms History - Le-Code error hits every play. This is an issue with both his 22 and 23 releases as well.

Good news. The latest MKW Retro Rewind 01/22/2025 release has been fixed, no more code dumps.

After completing multiple single player GP, all 3DS, Wii U and tracks beyond are now fully playable. I did not test this release online but here are some covers if you are interested...

did anybody else using this method with the mod CTGP Dolphin have an issue where grand prix trophies wouldn't save?
