Is there a tool or method to apply Riivolution patches to dumped games and then build them as standalone WBFS files?

SSBB Infinite? :)
So far not possible I've looked into it you need to extract and place all files and repack the game becomes way over sized and even dolphin Gives up However there use to be a revolution version of project M Which may of been possible

Anyway heres the tools i use

RiivolutionIsoBuilder
WII ISO Renamer V3
WiiBaFu-1.1-Win32

Use WiiBaFu to extract the game copy over textures audio files etc... repack to iso with WiiBaFu then Use Wii Iso Renamer to rename the game and Game ID example SB4E01 is SMG2 rename it something not in use I opted with SB4E12 etc.. I need to redo because i didn't really check gametdb.

then once it's packed as a Iso Use Riivolution Iso Builder choose the iso you made and then choose the mods xml then choose name and save location. Once done test in dolphin.

No problem, take your time! The kids are always first :D
it's folder layout is extremely weird But should have it patched soon Either later today or tomorrow hopefully Will keep you's updated certain things may not work probably no work around I was allowed 1 option for certain things like texture randomizer

is this normal for texture randomizer?
I may need to speak with a dev and see if folders etc... can be improved and maybe a way to have all features

Once I do something different and it works for me, first I use RiivolutionIsoBuilder, then I use WIT and Wii ISO Renamer, and that's fine, I did that for the Super Mario 3D Galaxy mod, I even edited the internal opening.bnr and it stays there, and it is fully functional on the USB Loader GX, which is where the probe is from, I have the files updated to version 11-beta1.
Thanks anyway, your advice helped me.

I tried this with MK Midnight a while back and it also didn’t work for me. I think it might have something to do with the extra track slots, but I’m not too sure

Has anyone tried with FriiDump rips (disc ISOs), or do all games have to be fully complete with original boot sectors ?
Just trying to avoid headaches ;)

It's prob another thing, MK Wii Deluxe has 800 tracks and has a wbfs version. In CTGP-R the problem is the DRM, but in MK Midnight I have no idea either

    Bitcoin on the other hand, requires a very powerful mining rig and is more costly.

    Technically, cryptocurrencies aren't illegal, as long as you don't use it for criminal activity. If you sign up with an exchange, and that they get a tip from law enforcement, they have the right to freeze your assets.

    @SylverReZ, Yea I heard law is vastly different there

    Nigeria's central bank did make crypto illegal before, until last year they lifted the ban. Always make sure to check before you exchange. ;)

    @SylverReZ, speaking of crypto i remember reading about a guy who spend like 10 grand bitcoin on a couple pizzas (when bitcoin wasnt as worthy as nowadays)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's mental. If he had saved up when Bitcoin sky-rocketed in price, then he might've become the next Jeff Bezos for all I know.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, he couldnt know the price was gonna skyrocket anyway
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Then it dropped sometime in 2022, 2021 was when it really went up in price.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, I also recall watching a video of some failed games with their own crypto currency or smth like that, lemme link it to you (it's in spanish tho)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, I remember that. Didn't Steam ban games with NFTs before somehow devs managed to circumvent it? Think EA tried to dabble in NFTs too.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Glad to hear people realise that NFTs aren't worth it these days. They realise that they're JPEGs hosted on a file-hosting site like AWS or Google Drive.

    Atleast it has captions

    @Xdqwerty, Meta also tried to create their own crypto, but that fell through.

    Was called Libra, they had around 100 employees and wanted to hire more near to end of the year.
