Riivolution is a powerful game patcher that allows users to make real-time changes to their retail discs. It utilizes an SD or USB device to store and read custom content during gameplay.
This feature makes it possible for users to enjoy a wide range of modifications including custom textures, music, levels, memory patches, game translations, and much more. With Riivolution, users have the freedom to tailor their gaming experience to their liking, making it a must-have tool for any Nintendo Wii enthusiast.
Install
To set up Riivolution, unzip the apps folder from the downloaded file and place it on an SD card. Then, launch Riivolution through the Homebrew Channel Wii, or by using other game exploit methods like Bannerbomb Wii or Letterbomb Wii.
Once installed, you'll need to acquire patches to begin customizing your gameplay. Visit the Patch Templates page or consult the FAQ for more information on how to get started.

FAQ
- Does Riivolution work with my "backups" or USB loaders?
No. And that's not a bug.
- Does Riivolution work with my PAL/NTSC/JAP Wii/game?
Yes.
- What IOS does it need installed?
Riivolution requires an updated IOS37; if you're on System Menu 4.2 you should be good. If it's not installed or the proper version, it will be installed the first time Riivolution is run.
Alternatively, you can also use NUSD or DOP-IOS to install it - with all patches disabled.
- Does Riivolution work with Game X?
I probably haven't played it, but yes, it should; try it. If it doesn't work, report it - some games known to reload IOS will require specific patches to work.
Games that have specifically been tested include Fatal Frame 4, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Rock Band, among others.
- What does the "Install" button do?
It will install a Riivolution channel onto your System Menu for easy access. This can always be uninstalled.
- Can I use Ocarina / Gecko codes with it?
Normally, Riivolution just supports direct memory patches. However, Riivolution supports a patching method that can be used with the Gecko OS code handler.
Read more about that here.
- Can I add new files to a disc with Riivolution?
Not yet.
- Uhh, how do I use this?
As a user, you need to either download patch packages made by someone else or make your own.
A basic template and packages for common games can be found at the Patch Templates section. For a more detailed explanation about Riivolution's patch XML files, check out the instructions.
