Textures/texture packs in Dolphin

[shaymcn02]

I am trying to add different textures to my MKWii ISO on dolphin but I want to be able to still use gecko codes on my ISO, how do I go about changing textures while still being able to implement gecko codes to my ISO?

You can still apply gecko codes on an ISO via the conventional method (Place codes on GCT, GCT in SD, Ocarina ON in USB Loader). By the way, MKWii.com has its own GCT creator (credits to WhatIsLoaf) - https://mkwii.com/gct/

If you instead want the GCT "edited" onto the ISO itself, you need Wiimm's SZS tools. Once installed, you need to extract the ISO, patch the main.dol, then rebuild it. Command to edit the main.dol is this...
wstrt patch main.dol --add-section nameofgct.gct

If that's the method you want, I have a whole subforum explain Wiimm's tools and how to use them - https://mariokartwii.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=17

Finally, (I HIGHLY doubt this is what you want), you can literally hex edit codes onto the ISO. https://mariokartwii.com/showthread.php?tid=419

Sorry for bothering you again, but is it possible for me to make another version of the game (MKWii Deluxe, Formula Kart Wii etc) an individual ISO in dolphin where I can use the conventional method for applying dolphin codes or is another method required to make gecko code work in these versions?

thanks
