Mario Kart Wii Gecko Codes, Cheats, & Hacks

Guide is designed for use in Linux. Guide assumes you are somewhat familiar with WIT & SZS Tools. NOTE: This also works for WBFS files.

1. Go to http://maschell.de/ghostdatabase/ to choose a ghost to download. You can use a different site but be sure the ghost has it's correct name for MKWii. If you aren't sure download a ghost from the site above matching the track of the ghost you are using and see what the name is for the ghost you downloaded.
2. Download the ghost.
3. Make a copy of your ISO, rename it whatever helps you know its a copy ready for editing.
4. Open a terminal: cd to the location of your copied ISO
5. wit extract ExampleTest.iso /home/yourusername/Test (do not create Test folder beforehand or else WIT will show an error, the wit command will create the folder for you)
6. Navigate to the /home/yourusername/Test/DATA/files/race/TimeAttack/ghost2 folder (you will not have a DATA folder if your ISO/WBFS is fully scrubbed)
7. Remove any ghost(s) you want and then add in the replacement ghost(s).
8. cd /home/yourusername
9. wit copy ./Test /home/yourusername/ExampleDone.iso
10. add ISO to USB stick, congratz!

Riivo way:

<folder disc="/Race/TimeAttack/ghost2" external="/WRs/" />

(lol i actually updated this)

Better yet, use wildcard searching (*) to cut down on the name, use x (short for extract), and simply type the desired name of the folder and it will extract the game into the desired folder in the current working directory:

5. wit x *Test.iso TEST (Do not create TEST folder beforehand or else WIT will show an error, the wit command will create the folder for you)

You can also use (./) to help specify extra depth to you file path in the current working directory

5. wit x *Test.iso ./extracted/TEST (Do not create TEST folder beforehand or else WIT will show an error, the wit command will create the folder for you)

You might want to update 6. 8. and 9. to reflect the changes
