 +===== Riivolution patches =====

 +<WRAP center round todo>
 +Untested, there may be some additional steps required, such as renaming the patch file to include the extension ".json".
 +</WRAP>
 +
 +Some popular game hacks such as Newer Super Mario Bros. can be played by applying the Riivolution patch over the top of the original game's file. On a real Wii, this would be accomplished by launching the game with the correct parameters. A similar feat can be accomplished within Batocera **v35 and above** using Dolphin's patch profile saver:
 +
 +  - First, extract the Riivolution patch you want to play and ensure that you have the correct "base" game for it in your ''/userdata/roms/<wii or gamecube>'' folder.
 +  - Go to Applications (''[F1]'' on the system list) and open ''dolphin-config''.
 +  - Right-click the base game (for example, New Super Mario Bros.) and select **Run with Riivolution patches**.
 +  - Specify the patch you'd like to run it with in the dialogue box that appears by selecting the appropriate XML file from the patch. <WRAP center round info>
 +If you'd like to test that the patch is working first, click **Start** and the game will begin. Once you've confirmed that everything is running, repeat the steps back up to this point and continue on.
 +</WRAP>
 +  - Click **Save**.
 +
 +That's it. The live patch will now appear the next time you go to EmulationStation, and can be launched just like any other ordinary Wii/GameCube game. Of course, you'll still need the base game's files to be present in addition to the patch's files.
 +
 +--> Example JSON file#
 +
 +In case you'd like to see what a JSON patch file ordinarily should look like:
 +
 +<file json NewerSMBW130.json>
 +{
 +  "base-file": "/userdata/roms/wii/NewSuperMarioBrosWii.wbfs",
 +  "display-name": "NewerSMBW130",
 +  "riivolution": {
 +    "patches": [
 +      {
 +        "options": [
 +          {
 +            "choice": 1,
 +            "option-id": "newercore",
 +            "section-name": "Newer SMBW"
 +          }
 +        ],
 +        "root": "/userdata/roms/wii/riivolution",
 +        "xml": "/userdata/roms/wii/riivolution/riivolution/NewerSMBW.xml"
 +      }
 +    ]
 +  },
 +  "type": "dolphin-game-mod-descriptor",
 +  "version": 1
 +}
 +</file>
