#2270 Wiimmfi Patch is incomplete
Originally created by: Bach.Flo...@gmail.com
Please give here as much information as you can.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start Mario Kart Wii with the "Custom Server"-Option set to "Wiimmfi.de"
2. Go to the Mario Kart Wii Channel and try to view the rankings
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Game connects to "mariokartwii.race.gs.wiimmfi.de"
Instead: Game connects to "mariokartwii.race.gs.nintendowifi.net"
What revision of USB Loader GX are you using? [r1228]
Please provide any additional information below.
The current Wiimmfi patch only patches the "main.dol" file. Some games (including Mario Kart Wii) do have a file with the file extension ".rel". Those are exported main.dol data sections which also have to be patched.
Simple solution: The USB-Loader also has to search for any *.rel file on the disc and patch URLs inside those files, too.

I can't patch other files.
The main.dol is loaded in memory before the game is launched, so it can be edited and patched easily.
Other files are accessed directly from the discs and can't be patched on the fly.
I know not everything is patched (ranking, match making algo, etc.), but it's enough to play online.
Sorry that I can't patch more files on the fly like riivolution. If someone know how to do it, I'll include it.
