I'm Leseratte ([ˈleːzəˌʁatə]), a German MKWii player. The following MKWii game patches were created by me:

Wiimmfi-Server (together with Wiimm)
Region patch (update of XeR's version, supporting battle and friend list joining)
VS point modifcation
A patch to permanently put cheat codes into an ISO for custom track distributions (theoretically for all games, but at the moment only for Mario Kart)
A cheat code to remove that annoying bug that you only get mushrooms online after 18 items
A cheat code to put multiple tracks onto one "track" slot (online only) - like the four "Animal Crossing"-variants in Mario Kart 8 (not released yet).
A patch / modification for Mario Kart Fun to allow the friend room host to set specific settings (kart-only, bike-only GP, GP with a specific race amount, host wins track selection)
The Wiimmfi competition service
A few bugfixes for the broken ct-code menu system
The LE-CODE

Cheats to ISO

On September 18th, 2015 I developed a patch which allows creators of a Custom Track Distribution to support ISO Patchers even when they need to use cheat codes. It permanently patches cheat codes into an ISO and has good use, for example the usage of the lap count modifier in Wiimms Mario Kart Fun.

This patch can be applied with wstrt (only for Mario Kart): http://szs.wiimm.de/info/add-section.html

Cheats

These cheat codes were developed by me. Unfortunately I don't have an account on geckocodes.org (and I don't know how to make one) so I can't upload them there. If anyone can tell me how to get one, please write on my talk page.

Fix the mushroom-only-bug online

There is a weird "bug" in the game causing everyone to only get mushrooms after the 18th item online. I've set "bug" into quotes because this is actually the way intended by Nintendo so its a feature and not a bug. Anyways, this behaviour isn't quite good for custom tracks which have a lot of item boxes or for tracks which are short and might be played for more than three laps.

So, I have developed a cheat code to fix this "feature". This code removes the item limit and the bug doesn't appear any more, even if you collect > 40 items online.

PAL:

C27BA434 00000004
907F001C 807F0030
2C03000F 4180000C

60000000 00000000

Only the PAL version of that cheat is tested, I don't know if the others work. If you have tested one of the others, please write on my talk page and tell me whether they work.

KCL-dependant activator

NTSC-U: 289BF0BC 0000XXXX (untested)
NTSC-J: 289C293C 0000XXXX (untested)

Insert a 2-byte-KCL-value for XXXX and the following code will only be executed if the player's vehicle is currently on that KCL type. Insert an "end if" line (E0000000 80008000) after the code you want to be executed.

Optimized region patch cheat code

This cheat code patches any region between 0 and 65535 into the game - both for battle and versus - and works for all regions:

Region Changer regionfree [Leseratte]
F6000002 80648066
38A0FFFF 48000010
3C608038 80636000
14000010 38A0XXXX
1400007C 38C0XXXX
14005BD8 38E0XXXX
14005C2C 38E0XXXX
140060F0 38E0XXXX
14006144 38E0XXXX
14006A00 388000YY
14006A4C 388000YY
E0000000 80008000

XXXX is the region value, YY is the last (lowest) byte of the region.

480p graphics fix

The developer Extrems has claimed to have found a bug in the original Nintendo SDK, making Wii games look worse when using 480p due to a bug. More information about this bug can be found here: more info

A patch for libogc in order to fix this issue in homebrew is pending and I believe it will be added to libogc in the near future: libogc pull request

I decided to implement this patch for Mario Kart Wii as well. It causes a very slight improvement in graphics quality / sharpness, which can be seen here.

On the WiiU and on newer Wiis Nintendo worked around this in hardware. On older Wiis the following cheat code can be used:
