To use CTGP-R, you'll need:
If this is the first time you've ever used CTGP-R or a homebrew application you'll need to download an exploit (see below).
Download CTGP-R v1.03 and extract it to your SD card. Say 'Replace All' or 'Merge' if you are prompted to overwrite any files.
CTGP-R is a free fan-made project. You can help support our server costs by donating!
If you have an old version of CTGP-R and need to save space on your SD card for the extraction you can delete everything in the folder sd:/mkwii, except sd:/mkwii/My Stuff. After installing, the channel will delete old files from previous CTGP-R versions.
To help prevent online cheating, the source code for version 1.03 is kept secret, but the source code for the previous version is available on Github.
An exploit is a mistake in the Wii or one of its games that allows you to run unofficial code on a Wii. Using an exploit voids your Wii's warranty. The exploit you need to download depends on what Wii version you have. Find the most appropriate exploit below.
