Wiimms ISO Patcher

Wiimm has written a generic Wii Image Patcher based on his Wiimms ISO Tools. It was written for his Mario Kart distributions but can also used to patch any other game. The patcher works on file level in the following steps:

1. Extract all files of the original game DVD.
2. Replace and or modify files.
3. Create a new image.

Wiimms ISO Patcher uses GNU-Tools and runs under Linux, Max and Windows. For Windows some Cygwin tools are used.

The great advantage is that the user have a complete independent DVD and that the game can be loaded by any USB loader. The disadvantage is that the Wii must be hacked and the trucha bug (fake sign bug) must be enabled.
