At long last!! No more having to use specially made Mario Kart Wii ISOs and wasting all that space

No longer do I need to have a physical copy at all times which go for lots of money or follow a tacky workaround by constructing a custom ISO for the purpose of using CTGP Revolution. This sounds excellent, I should try it out sometime.

OMG I've been waiting for something like this for so long! My Wii's disc drive is practically ready for retirement
Thank you so much for this~!

This is great stuff! Mods are finally more accessible. Really didn't like having to patch ROMs for every single mod and blow up the storage with all that unnecessary data.

Don't think so... At least not the latest mainline releases. CTGP-R has its own launcher nowadays and uses the disc requirement as an anti-cheat/DRM measure. If someone were to bypass that (it wouldn't be trivial, AFAIK the launcher isn't open source), it would probably be a game of whack-a-mole with mandatory updates.

Thanks, DRM! We always loved you.
