To be clear, it's compatible with real hardware if using a USB loader—it's only running it from an actual disc + Riivolution that is untested.This mod is not compatible with real hardware? That's a real bummer.
On my end, the only "ZIP" that shows up on the right is this here which contains the moviesYou click on the "ZIP" word when you enter the website, it's on a box at the right.
Downloading that should give you a zip which includes all the folders, and then inside the "Other M Redux" folder a bunch of other folders and one "movie.zip" file. This one is included as a zip because for some reason Archive doesn't allow me to upload the .sfd files alone, so I have to upload them as a zip instead.
Read the instructions on the Archive page, it should tell you everything regarding this.

By the way, there's someone that left an inquiry for help in the review section on the Archive page that is in fact trying to use it on a real Wii (which, last I checked, is not something we ever were able to try)
The problem with auto-patchers is that they're usually platform-dependent. What if you want to run this on a Steam Deck? That's Linux, not Windows.
(That being said, Wii Backup Fusion is a Windows program, but it's an existing program from over a decade ago—a time when using Linux for gaming tasks was much less of a thing)
The only thing I'd say is that the instructions on the archive.org page could probably use a bit clearer organization since, for real hardware, all you need to care about is the text beginning with CREATE A NEW ISO.
EDIT:
...though I'm now realizing even the bullet points could probably be streamlined a bit. Another easy way to streamline things would be to have the file names of the redux version actually match the original folders, thereby not requiring manual renaming. This would of course also require tweaking the riivolution xml file but that's easy enough.
And even if the file names need to be kept different between use with Riivolution and making a new ISO, there is the trick of using a 7z archive with a large enough dictionary size so that it simply compresses the total file size down to the same as if you only had one copy of the file rather than two.
Are you not able to just click the "319 Files" or "186 Original" links located to the right of the "SHOW ALL" in order to download the files the old fashioned way?Oh I see, then yeah the one you need to get is the torrent file and download it all as a torrent, then you should get the full files.
Part of what I was saying was related to the file names, i.e. if they matched the source then it's be easier to explain while the other part is regarding how the "CREATE A NEW ISO" is kind of buried under the Riivolution method making it look like they go together.What would you suggest towards streamlining the bullet points better?
Since I have 24GB of RAM which lets me make 7z archives with a 2048 dictionary size, I might humor myself and see if I can put together a sort of "proof of concept" regarding that 7z archive idea.The way I handled the folders and files are so that people more or less know that the extension-less files are models themselves, unlike the other files which all do have extensions.

The idea is that you can have multiple copies of a single file with different files names (i.e. for different folder organization structures) without taking up any more size archive-wise.What would be the end goal for that?
I did give it a little more search, it seems like there's some cutscene data in some of the the extensionless files, starting around file 380 (405 I believe it to be dm57, which is just right after the one for the Sector Zero cutscene, which is dm56). In those there seems to be some animation data, and some other calls to models, but I couldn't find a way to make it call the model for the gravity suit instead of the Varia one, that still remains unknown, but at least I got closer.Hello again; it's been a while. Just catching up on what's been discussed.
Amazing that the original Power Suit is now in all cutscenes! I did see that something to do with model cutscene data being found after Sector Zero (when you get the Gravity Suit) could be where the game determines what suit model is called into use.
Has any additional findings or work gone into this? I'd say that's the last thing that really needs doing. Surely it's as simple as "load Gravity Suit model" instead of Varia, but then again it would need to be specifically a cutscene-specific model.
Couldn't duplicating the current Varia cutscene model and changing the copy's textures to what the Gravity Suit uses work? Same data, different color.
I could be over-simplifying things when in reality it's more complicated, but if the game just needs a compatible model to load; why not copy what's there, point to the copy and change the copy's model textures?
I'm just spit-balling an idea.
The Riivolution file is something I still need to rework so it properly works for most people.Two quick protips that could be improved regarding the Riivolution method instructions.
1. The easiest way to find the correct folder in Linux is, within Dolphin, go to File ▶ Open User Folder. From there, you just open "load" and the "Riivolution" folder is right there.
2. For real Wii homebrew, the Riivolution files really should similarly "just work" as-is as Dolphin's implementation is directly intended to be used with the exact same files designed for real hardware. That being said, I haven't used Riivolution on real hardware for over a decade, so I don't 100% remember where exactly exactly one puts the files on their SD card (or USB drive if it even supports that?) assuming it even matters considering that the wiibrew article for Riivolution isn't even really specifying that...

I never got 3rd person missiles to work either.Thank you

Got everything to work accept the 3rd person missles i have the gecko code inputed and everything but still no 3rd person missles
Try with only the Redux dol file included in the package, that already has the 3rd person missiles patched in without needing any Gecko codesThank you
