This is an experimental channel for Wii, Wii U and Dolphin to launch and manage the Retro Rewind Mario Kart Wii distribution. It is still heavily a work in progress. All contributions are welcome; however, the current codebase is fast-moving and it will be easier to contribute once the foundations are laid.
This channel is set to replace the existing Riivolution-based launcher. It solves a number of issues with that launcher:
- It is very overengineered and contains many unused features,
- It takes a long time to initially load,
- It is diffiult and time consuming to maintain,
- It doesn't work with Dolphin.
In addition, a new channel would allow us to add novel features such as a quick launch to skip menus and get right into playing.
The best way to understand this channel on a technical level is to read the source code, as a lot of it is documented. Wiibrew is also a fantastic resource regarding all things Wii homebrew: https://wiibrew.org/
