Wiimms Mario Kart Fun is a series of custom track distributions created by Wiimm. It was first released in 2010.

The main goal of these distributions is to play custom tracks online. To accomplish this, all players must play the same distribution. Wiimm has developed an ISO Patcher that can turn a copy of an original Mario Kart Wii ISO into a custom track distribution.

Every new release of the series will include new custom tracks made by the community that can be played online together. The best tracks stay in the distribution.

Installation

The following guide can be found on Custom Mario Kart Wiki.

Patcher scripts

The script files create-image.bat and create-image.sh are used to convert an original Mario Kart Wii ISO (PAL or NTSC) into a new one named "Wiimms Mario Kart Fun YYYY-DD".

The .bat files are for Windows users, while the .sh files are for Unix users. This conversion process only works on file systems that support hardlinks such as NTFS or modern Unix file systems, FAT does not.

Read more about how the MKW patcher works.

Requirements

  • Original Mario Kart Wii ISO (PAL or NTSC) in ISO, CISO, WBFS, WDF, or WIA format.
  • Wii with cIOS or IOS with Trucha Bug enabled.
  • 12 GB of free space (+3.1 GB for each additional ISO).

Conversion steps

  • Download a distribution of your choice and unpack the TAR archive inside the TXZ archive.
  • Copy the Mario Kart Wii ISO into the root directory of the previously created directory structure.
  • Unix users should execute chmod a+x *.sh to make the shell scripts executable.
  • Windows users should start the batch file named create-image.bat. All other users can start the file named create-image.sh.
  • After starting the script, it asks for some conversion details.
    • Enter the preferred conversation language.
      • de for German.
      • en for English.
      • es for Spanish.
      • kr for Korean.
  • Enter the preferred game language.
  • Enter the preferred track names.
  • Enter the preferred ISO output.
    • The newer versions of this patcher supports a Riivolution template. Type riiv and continue at the next section.
  • Enter the preferred savegame setting.
    • no The game will use the original savegame.
    • yes The game will use a newly generated savegame, which doesn't interfere with the original one whatsoever.
  • The new images will be created in the sub directory named "new-image/" with a size of about 3.1 GB. The following options are:
    • Copy the new ISO image into your game folder.
    • Add the new image with a WBFS Manager to your WBFS drive.
    • Burn the new image with a burning tool.
  • After all is done, the setup can be removed.

Riivolution template

The Riivolution template is stored in the "riiv-sd-card/" directory.

Copy all files in that directory to your SD Card and let it replace everything on there.

Diagnostic scripts

The ISO Patcher contains 2 diagnostic scripts. "view-images.bat" and "view-images.sh" will print a table with all the current directory detected ISO images.

verify-images.bat and verify-images.sh verify all detected ISO images in the current directory. The content of each image will be decrypted to verify the stored SHA1 checksums. This process takes some time.
