Overview

Riivolution is an on-the-fly game patcher 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 courses without a patched 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.

Related

Riivolution Generator is a tool, that can create files needed by Riivolution using other files as source. The algorithm is simple.

  • Extract the original ISO image
  • 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.
