Downloads

If you need help installing CTGP Revolution, see the install guide.

To use CTGP-R, you'll need:

  • A Wii or a Wii U
  • A Mario Kart Wii game disk
  • An SD card of at least 768MB

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.

 
 

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.

Exploits
