Riivolution is an on-the-fly game patching method for use with retail discs. As of Dolphin {{Revision|5.0-15407}}, the emulator now has an HLE implementation of Riivolution that supports most mods. Unlike Riivolution on Wii, Dolphin's HLE Riivolution will work for GameCube Games as well. | Riivolution is an on-the-fly game patching method for use with retail discs.

== Usage == | |||
Riivolution can be used for all kinds of game mods within the context of the GameCube/Wii's limitations. While it can be used for custom textures, because these textures are loaded into the (emulated) console instead of through Dolphin's Custom Texture features, this means that the textures must remain compatible with a real console's limitations. But because of how Riivolution works of being able to patch/replace files and memory on the fly, it can be used for anything from quick and dirty fixes and translations, to more elaborate custom levels and even total conversion mods! | Riivolution can be used for all kinds of game mods within the context of the GameCube/Wii's limitations.

Due to restrictions with Android's Storage Access Framework, unfortunately most applications will not be able to access the "Load" directory for Riivolution mods. On most devices, you can connect your Phone/Tablet to a Desktop Computer and use it to copy things into App Specific directories. | Due to restrictions with Android's Storage Access Framework, unfortunately most applications will not be able to access the "Load" directory for Riivolution mods.

=== My Riivolution Mod Won't Start! === | |||
Some Riivolution Mods specifically designed for Dolphin may take advantage of some of Dolphin's ability to extend the base hardware. They may need "Emulated Clock" or "Emulated RAM" modifications. Please refer to your the mod's instructions to make sure that you've configured Dolphin correctly. <b>Do not change these settings unless the mod instructions specifically say to do so!</b> | Some Riivolution Mods specifically designed for Dolphin may take advantage of some of Dolphin's ability to extend the base hardware.

Please make sure the load path is setup correctly. Some of the folder structure might seem a bit weird. Your "Load/Riivolution" folder will end up with a "riivolution" folder inside of it and that is completely normal. | Please make sure the load path is setup correctly.

=== Sometimes My Riivolution Mod Stutters While Loading Files === | |||
Due to limitations with how Dolphin detects what files are patched and not, Dolphin currently enabled "Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate" when a Riivolution Mod is used. This means if the game is loading a lot of files, they may load too fast and put extra strain on your device or cause other minor issues. | Due to limitations with how Dolphin detects what files are patched and not, Dolphin currently enabled "Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate" when a Riivolution Mod is used.
