Recorders Wanted
If anyone is reading this and can record the MKW Character Pack, even if it's with a camera, Huili wants to give you a list of characters he wants you to record, instead of you figuring out what to record. Please send any inquiries to either the discussion page on top of this page or Huili's skype - pjtheevangelizer, and he will make the list for you. Please report any issues you may have to Huili and he will see what he can do for you in the meantime.
To avoid confusion
For those of you who DO NOT have the MKW Hack Pack on your sd card, please make a folder on the sd root and call it MKW Hack Pack and put the characters folder inside of it, and put the riivolution folder in the sd root. Merge folders if necessary.

Overview

This is Huili's first character Distribution which will also be used in the MKW Hack Pack. A few things to keep in mind are the following:

  • Full sets of character hacks come first for all the characters in the Riivolution XML, followed by single or double characters. Both come alphabetically according to character.
  • Huili suggests that you DO NOT enable all or a lot of characters. Why? Because if all 12 are selected, for example, your Wii might very well freeze. How can that be? Talking from experience, Huili knows that some of the file sizes of these characters in this character pack are larger than the original files, and that is why it will sometimes not load. So please be mindful of that as you select your characters for use online and on offline VS matches. Another reason is that the Wii is like a computer, which only has so much memory in it, it can only handle so much.
  • If you're going to be using this character pack for time trials, however, you can enable all of them, because you're only using one character at a time.
  • Keep in mind that if you want to enable anything from the Complete Character Sets option, they will each have their own set of vehicles. So if another character is enabled that is NOT from the Complete Character Sets, make sure it IS NOT the same vehicles, otherwise it will freeze. The best thing to do is to have everything else disabled when that is enabled to avoid confusion. Another suggesting is to look at each folder on your sd card so you know what to select, which will take more time but if you really want to use a certain character please use caution.

Issues

v2 Delete
If none of these issues get resolved by the v2 release, some of these will get deleted, depending on the severity of the issue. Please reply on the talk page if interested on resolving these issues or contact Huili on skype - pjtheevangelizer

Unresolved Issues

  • King Dedede's texture breaks on certain tracks.
  • Link on Epona, one of the Mario options, causes a black screen, probably because of it's size.
  • Black Mage, over Luigi may cause a blackscreen depending on what vehicle you choose. Mach Bike is definitely one of the options. You will hear the starting music though, but that's it. It is unknown why. Other vehicles have not been tested because of this.
  • Clown Car, a Bowser model hack, blackscreens when loaded, probably because of it's size.
  • Emerl the Gizoid, over Mario all vehicles, gave out a black screen when on the Standard Kart, but was fine when played on the mach bike. Other vehicles have not been tested because of this.

Resolved Issues for V2

  • Purple Baby Daisy which is supposed to be over Baby Daisy, when loaded, loaded a regular baby daisy, it is actually over Baby Peach.
  • Code dump appeared when trying to load Black Mage on Wii Remote, because the patch id's didn't match.
  • Green Shy Guy, forgot to make a matching patch ID for it.
  • Nitro Funky Kong, on the xml, the patch said Nitro Funky, but the folder on the sd says Nitro funky Kong, had to make a change there because it woudn't load in-game.
  • The following riivolution options have nothing inside their folders: Mii Outfit C, Baby Rosalina, and Omega Alpha Funky Kong.
  • More characters were for some reason missing, might want to check your folders for the following: Negative Baby Peach, Spike on Bullet Bike, Kingdom Hearts Funky on Flame Runner. and Super Sonic.
  • After looking carefully in the xml, Huili found out that Black, Blue, Red, and Cyan Yoshi had 2 patch id's each in the xml. For that reason, Black Yoshi could not load, or so Huili assumes. Red Yoshi, when enabled, will load nothing, because the characters are in a separate folder.
