Some formatting fixes. Gave proper credit to the "No Filtering" code, also removed FOV code as it doesn't fall under any of the types of AR/Gecko codes currently allowed on the wiki (refer to Project:Wiki_Conventions#Enhancements)

The Mario Kart Channel is not installed properly, even though the game indicates the install completed successfully. Partly fixed by {{revision|5.0-1837}}, which added initial title import support, but breaks the NAND when actually installing the channel. {{revision|5.0-2706}} fixes the issue.

=== No Filtering ===

Another way to work around the bloom effect issue is using "No Filtering". This gecko code will disable bloom effects for the NTSC-U version. See reference [https://www.reddit.com/r/DolphinEmulator/comments/rqxq64/mario_kart_wii_ghostingbloom_effect_fix/  1]and reference [https://mariokartwii.com/printthread.php?tid=174 2].

=== Memory Size Override ===
=== Memory Size Override ===
You can increase the memory size available to the game in the Dolphin settings ("Memory Override" under "Advanced"), however increasing the MEM1 size to more than 32 MB can cause issues and crashes when connecting to [[Wiimmfi]]. Increasing the MEM2 size has no such ill effects, and can help loading game mods (custom textures, tracks, ...) that would normally be too large to work correctly.
