Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums - Custom Tracks in Mario Kart Wii!

Pages: 1 2 3

Since 2010, Mario Kart Wii has been modified through riivolution, adding custom tracks, characters, music... The problem, is that Riivolution is still not supported by dolphin, so we were unable to try all these awesome tracks.

UNTIL... NOW!

In this tutorial i will teach you how to install custom tracks into MKW.

Important Note: This is not the game and is only a patch. The download links i will provide here is only to patch the game and the game itself is not provided. You should get it by yourself.

Note 2: This patch is made by Wiimm, i am not related in any way with the Wiimms Mario Kart Fun project. Also, some of this content came from the Custom Mario Kart Wiiki.

Features.

216 Custom Tracks + 32 Default Tracks.

Thundercloud Effect lasts only 5 seconds.

Wiimmfi Patched.

May or may not share savedata, i recommend to have both games, play GP, TT and battle with default MKW and VS with MKF. So you will have everything unlocked with MKF.

Available Languages: German, English (Europe/Australia), English (US), Spanish (Latin America), Spanish (Spain), French (Canada), French (France), Italian, Japanese, Korean.

Prerequisites.

A computer with Windows, Linux or MacOS X. No Android, iOS, or AmigaOS Sad

.An ISO or WBFS of Mario Kart Wii and 2-5 GB of free Hard Disk Space.

Procedments.

First, download the patch. http://wiimm.de/r/d/fun-2018-12

Extract the ZIP inside a folder, and move your MKW ISO/WBFS inside it.

Linux and Mac users should execute chmod a+x *.sh to make the shell scripts executable.

If using Windows, open create-image.bat, if using Linux or MacOS, open create-image.sh.

You'll get a window like this and please, DON'T RESIZE IT, you can select the language for the installer, write "en" for English, "de" for German or "es" for Spanish and press enter.

Then, you will be prompt to force the game language, press the letter corresponding to the language you want or - if you don't want to force and press enter.

Then, you will be prompt for the track languages, if you want any of these languages and the game did not support it, select the corresponding language for the tracks and press enter, otherwise press x and then enter if you will use the same language of the game. Not all tracks will be translated.

You'll also be prompt if you want to translate custom tracks and if you want to reorder, select yes or no and press enter.

Now, you will have to select the output format, select wbfs if you want to save disc space or iso if you prefer the traditional one and press enter.

And then it will ask you if you want to have separate savedata with your default MKW, note that if you select "yes" you won't be able to unlock almost anything and if you select "no", you will be at risk if you misuse MKF and lose savedata but you can unlock everything through standard MKW. Choose yes or no wisely. And press enter.

Confirm yes or no and press enter.

And then you'll have to wait around 5 - 45 minutes.

After converting, the wbfs or iso will be at the new-image folder. Move the MKF archive and your MKW game archive to your usual game folder.

Execute patch-dir.bat in Windows and then delete the folder.

Done!

UPDATE: BE SURE TO CHECK CUSTOM MARIO KART WIIKI TO GET UPDATES! Updates are released every 3-5 months.

Can you make a tutorial video or explain these steps?

My pc is bad so i will explain you.

Inside the folder you extracted the rar, when the wbfs/iso is converted, there will appear a new folder called "new-image", the modified iso will be inside that folder.

After you completed everything, and you copied/moved the modified iso/wbfs to the folder you save your games, if using windows, you should double click (execute) the "patch-dir.bat" archive.

With delete folder, i mean the folder where you extracted everything.

The reason you should execute that program is because there is a folder that Windows itself cannot delete in any way.

Sorry for not replying, i had some internet connection problems lately but now it seems to work well. Smile

I'm on mac and the .sh file fails to run CORRECTLY. Farthest I could get was this screen https://imgur.com/a/hyilQ before the shell script would exit. I gave permissions to every .sh file within the folder and ran it from inside the folder. Any ideas?

More like since many years ago when Wiimm created his patching tools but still, it's nice that you've made people aware of it and provided some tips.
Wiimm has instructions as well in the Custom Mario Kart website.

I can't run this for some reason. i'm fairly new to the mac shell and how it runs things. can you or anyone help me? maybe a visual step by step of how to enable the files? because it doesnt pick it up as a directory, plus i get a permission denied on the commands. I'm admin. screenshot file is too large to post here.

Does that mean you are on a Mac? If so, I'm afraid I won't be much help as I've never even used one.
Any chance you can do this on a Windows PC and then simply copy the patched ISO to your Mac?

the only windows PC i have access to i don't have admin rights. when i tried running it i got halfway through before something caught and it failed. I'll try today and tell you the exact error i got if you want. (UNRELATED) also, why is CTGP 1.02v broken for my dolphin? i get the arrows but i cant view or play the custom tracks. instead i get arrows. i heard it's a JTL error or something, how do i change that?
