Load from backups/ISOs
To use custom levels/textures with backups or custom ISOs, go here. Riivolution doesn't work with backups, only retail discs.
Load with Riivolution (v4.3)
If you've updated your Wii to system menu v4.3, you'll need to use the old hacks Indiana Pwns (which works with Lego Indiana Jones) or Smash Stack (which works with NTSC Super Smash Bros. Brawl), and an updated version of Riivolution. For more information on Wii update 4.3, check out Aaron and Omega's topic at the RVLution.net forums.
Load with Riivolution (v4.2)
To use Riivolution with 4.2 you need a retail copy of New Super Mario Bros. wii, Riivolution (launchable from HBC, SD or via the programs installable channel), and a working XML (like this).
This video tells you the basics of Riivolution, XML and folder structure.
To run Riivolution and use custom NSMBwii hacks from an SD card, without installing anything, download this file. Extract the contents of the ZIP and put them on your SD card. the file contains Riivolution and bannerbomb (which loads programs from the SD card menu).
On your SD card, in the extracted files, you'll find folders for seperate patches. All you need to do is drop your files in the folders for the patches you want to use, and turn on each folder at the Riivolution options menu. View folder structures here.
To load Riivolution, click on the SD card menu icon from the Wii main menu and choose 'Yes' to load Riivolution. Once you've loaded it, you can install it as a channel (which I'd recommend if you're gonna be using a lot of hacks).
Note: You can also download NSMB Packs, which include all hacks up until a specific date, Riivolution (launchable from SD or HBC) and XML with patch options. You can check out my personal XML here to see the XML I'm currently using.
Troubleshooting
Some SD cards must be formatted before your Wii will allow you to use it this way. Download formatting software here: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html . Note also I am not responsible if you delete or overwrite data on your SD card, or for anything you do to your computer, Wii, or anything else. Use this at your own discretion. If memory serves, you only need to do a quick format.
Sometimes your Wii will freeze at the SD card menu. If this happens, the version of bannerbomb supplied with RiivolutionTutorial.zip may not work for you. Go to http://bannerbomb.qoid.us/abds/ and download abdb6b.zip or abd69_v200.zip, then locate 'content.bin' on your SD card (private\ wii\ title\ aktn) and replace is with the content.bin in the ZIP files you just downloaded. Check bannerbomb.qoid.us for updated versions (last updated at time of writing: 1st Oct '09).
Notes & Extras
The video above is slightly incorrect: For ease of use, the folder structure referred to is inside the folder is called 'nsmb_mods', and is not in another ZIP. The example folders are already set up in the nsmb_mods folder, ready to be used. The XML file is in the 'riivolution' folder.

To download texture hacks and mod packs, go to the downloads page.
To download levels, go to the NSMBw File Depot.

You need to use a retail disc to use Riivolution, it won't work with copies. Sorry bro.
ReplyDelete:S and there is no other way i can hack my textures??? plx
ReplyDeleteYea there is. You need to modify a game ISO, then either burn the modified game version, or load the modded ISO with an ISO loader (or emulator on your computer).
ReplyDeleteThere's more details here.
ok the only problem is that im new on this and i am noob and xD i don´t understand how to modify a game iso and load the modded iso with an iso loader xD
ReplyDeletesorry for the inconvenience
WiiScrubber need to use the iso of new super mario bros wii ????? because it removed from my computer because I thought no more would need
ReplyDeletenote: i am the Same guy xD
Yea, you need the ISO again. I use retail discs, so I can't tell you how to use USB loaders. It's easier to use a loader than burn a modded ISO, but that's still an option. -darkly77
