Overview

Riivolution is an on-the-fly game patcher created by AerialX 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 tracks without a patched ISO. Riivolution is supported on console and Dolphin since version 5.0-15407. For older versions of Dolphin, you will need to patch your 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.

  • Set the modified time to a date in the past (2008-01-01).
  • Run the patching process.
  • Copy the modified files into the SD card folder.
  • Create a XML based on the list of modified files.
