Overview
An SD card or USB drive; Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher Wii; Wii U (vWii) Instructions (for Wii) Extract Mario Kart Wii Competition Patcher and put it in the apps folder on your SD Card. Insert your SD card or USB drive into the Wii. Launch the original Mario Kart Wii game (not Wiimmfi patched). I was just wondering if it is possible to download CTGP on a Wii without using an SD card. I assume the answer is no but I don’t have an SD card slot in my pc and would really like to play on 200cc and play some custom tracks.
Riivolution is an on-the-fly game patcher for use with retail discs. It allows users to place content on their SD or USB devices, which will be read by the game during regular play. It is used by several Custom Track Distributions in order to run modified courses without a patched ISO.
Usage
Riivolution uses XML files to load custom content from an SD Card. To use this, have your XML point to a folder with all the custom content inside and place the XML in the 'riivolution' folder.

Getting Started
In order to proceed, update your Wii to version 4.3. If you don't want to update, follow THIS guide instead.
Note down which letter appears after 4.3 - where the hand is pointing to in the picture - as you'll need it for LetterBomb!
If your console is fully updated, go into your 'Internet' settings, and then to 'Console Information'. Write down the MAC Address.
Next, go HERE. Input your MAC Address, select the System Menu version and fill in the Captcha. Make sure 'Bundle the hackmii installer for me' is checked. Cut the red wire.
A zip file will begin downloading. Save it.
Plug in your SD card and locate a folder named 'private'. If it exists, rename it to 'private_old'. Then, unpack* the zip file onto the root** of your SD Card. Delete the .txt files, they're not needed.
(Make sure that the SD is formatted to FAT)
* - To unpack a zip file, download a program like 7-Zip.
** - Look HERE for an explanation what 'root' of an SD card is. Descargar grabatron hack apk.
Installing the Homebrew Channel
Insert the SD card into your Wii. Open the Wii Message Board, and scroll back a few pages. On one, you should see the Letterbomb letter.
Click on it, and confirm.
The ① button will take a while to appear, but be patient, and then press it.
Here, press 'Install the Homebrew Channel'. After it finishes, click on 'exit'.
The Homebrew Channel should be installed and ready!
Setting up Riivolution and Newer
You can return your 'private_old' folder back to 'private' now, and delete the Letterbomb 'private' and 'boot.elf'.
Create an 'apps' folder on your SD card. Put the contents of the download ('riivolution' folder) into it.
Download the Newer Super Mario Bros. package from HERE and locate* 'NewerSMBW' and 'riivolution' folders, then put them onto the root** of the SD card. Here is a sample picture of what this will look like.
The SD card will look like this.
'NewerSMBW', 'riivolution' and 'apps' folders on the root (optionally also, 'private'), 'riivolution' folder in 'apps'.
Insert the SD card into your Wii and launch the Homebrew Channel.
Insert a retail New Super Mario Bros. disc. Make sure the option is set to 'Enabled' and click 'Launch' on this screen when it loads.
Make sure other hacks aren't enabled as well!
