v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.8

Wheel Wizard for Linux / Steam Deck

Prebuilt manager for this fork. Mario Kart Wii is not included.

If you already compiled with an earlier build, replace the binary and press Update once. You do not need to edit Config.toml or run Distrobox yourself.

Downloads

• WheelWizard-linux-x64.zip — app, launcher script, and an optional desktop-shortcut helper
• WheelWizard_Linux — single executable

Run it

1. Replace the old WheelWizard / WheelWizard_Linux with this one.
2. chmod +x WheelWizard (or WheelWizard_Linux)
3. Press Update if the home screen offers it, then Play

This build

• Treats a new Retro Rewind Code.pul as out of date even when version.txt already matches the server, so in-game online and Wheel Wizard stay in sync
• On SteamOS, compiles inside the Ubuntu container with podman exec instead of distrobox enter (that path crashed on host bash / readline)
• Distros that already have GCC still compile on the host first

This is not the official Flatpak. That build is still Windows-only for WiiCompiled.

Based on TeamWheelWizard/WheelWizard v2.5.4 (GPL-3.0).

v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.7

Wheel Wizard for Linux / Steam Deck

Prebuilt manager for this fork. Mario Kart Wii is not included.

If you already compiled with .5 or .6, replace the binary and press Play. You do not need to edit Config.toml or compile again.

Downloads

• WheelWizard-linux-x64.zip — app, launcher script, and an optional desktop-shortcut helper
• WheelWizard_Linux — single executable

Run it

1. Replace the old WheelWizard / WheelWizard_Linux with this one.
2. chmod +x WheelWizard (or WheelWizard_Linux)
3. Press Play

This build

• Writes retro_rewind_root to the RetroRewind6 pack (the folder with Binaries/ConfigCT.pul), not the parent RetroRewind folder
• Fixes the Invalid Pulsar Config crash after a successful compile
• Still writes dvd_root when portable.txt is next to the app

This is not the official Flatpak. That build is still Windows-only for WiiCompiled.

Based on TeamWheelWizard/WheelWizard v2.5.4 (GPL-3.0).

v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.6

Wheel Wizard for Linux / Steam Deck

Prebuilt manager for this fork. Mario Kart Wii is not included.

Put the app anywhere you like. In Wheel Wizard, set Settings → Location → Mario Kart Wii Game File to your legal dump. WiiCompiled needs a clean PAL RMCP01 dump (ISO, WBFS, RVZ, WIA, or GCZ).

If you already compiled with .5, replace the binary and press Play. You do not need to edit Config.toml.

Downloads

• WheelWizard-linux-x64.zip — app, launcher script, and an optional desktop-shortcut helper
• WheelWizard_Linux — single executable

Run it

1. Unzip (or copy the single binary) wherever you want.
2. chmod +x WheelWizard launch-wheel-wizard.sh
3. Run ./launch-wheel-wizard.sh or ./WheelWizard
4. Point Mario Kart Wii Game File at your dump
5. Press Install if you do not already have a play binary, otherwise press Play

This build

• Writes dvd_root and retro_rewind_root into the Config.toml the play binary actually reads
• Fixes the missing DVD root when portable.txt is next to the app (Klebby-style folders) but the disc was extracted under ~/.local/share/WiiCompiled
• On normal Linux, Install still compiles on the host first
• Distrobox is still used on SteamOS / other read-only systems

This is not the official Flatpak. That build is still Windows-only for WiiCompiled.

Based on TeamWheelWizard/WheelWizard v2.5.4 (GPL-3.0).

v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.5

Wheel Wizard for Linux / Steam Deck

Prebuilt manager for this fork. Mario Kart Wii is not included.

Put the app anywhere you like. In Wheel Wizard, set Settings → Location → Mario Kart Wii Game File to your legal dump, wherever it already lives. WiiCompiled needs a clean PAL RMCP01 dump (ISO, WBFS, RVZ, WIA, or GCZ). If a Dolphin GCZ fails, convert that same dump to ISO or RVZ.

Home Install then downloads Retro Rewind and the WiiCompiled AppImage and compiles the native game in-app. Replace the old binary with this one and press Install — you do not need extra packages or terminal commands.

Downloads

• WheelWizard-linux-x64.zip — app, launcher script, and an optional desktop-shortcut helper
• WheelWizard_Linux — single executable, same idea as official Wheel Wizard Linux builds

Run it

1. Unzip (or copy the single binary) wherever you want.
2. chmod +x WheelWizard launch-wheel-wizard.sh
3. Run ./launch-wheel-wizard.sh or ./WheelWizard
4. Point Mario Kart Wii Game File at your dump
5. Press Install
6. Optional: run ./install-desktop-shortcut.sh

The first compile can take a long time. Leave it running.

This build

• On normal Linux (openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, …) Install compiles on the host first. Docker and Distrobox are not required there
• Unpacks linker libraries with bsdtar, or ar + tar if bsdtar is missing
• Clears a leftover CMake cache from a failed Distrobox attempt so Install can continue
• Shows a real disc error if the dump cannot be read
• Distrobox is still used on SteamOS / other read-only systems, and extra /mnt paths are mounted when the container is created
• My Profiles still reads the WiiCompiled Retro Rewind save

This is not the official Flatpak. That build is still Windows-only for WiiCompiled.

Based on TeamWheelWizard/WheelWizard v2.5.4 (GPL-3.0).

v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.4

Wheel Wizard for Linux / Steam Deck

Prebuilt manager for this fork. Mario Kart Wii is not included.

Put the app anywhere you like. In Wheel Wizard, set Settings → Location → Mario Kart Wii Game File to your legal dump, wherever it already lives. You do not have to copy the ROM into a special folder. WiiCompiled needs a clean PAL RMCP01 dump.

Home Install then downloads Retro Rewind and the WiiCompiled AppImage and compiles the native game in-app.

On SteamOS and other read-only Linux systems, Install uses Distrobox. If Distrobox or Podman is missing, Wheel Wizard installs them (userspace first; a terminal password prompt on SteamOS if the OS packages are required) and compiles inside the container.

Downloads

• WheelWizard-linux-x64.zip — app, launcher script, and an optional desktop-shortcut helper
• WheelWizard_Linux — single executable, same idea as official Wheel Wizard Linux builds

Run it

1. Unzip (or copy the single binary) wherever you want.
2. chmod +x WheelWizard launch-wheel-wizard.sh
3. Run ./launch-wheel-wizard.sh or ./WheelWizard
4. In the app, point Mario Kart Wii Game File at your dump
5. Press Install if you do not already have WiiCompiled
6. Optional: run ./install-desktop-shortcut.sh to add a Steam Deck / desktop launcher for that folder

This build

• My Profiles reads the WiiCompiled Retro Rewind save, so licenses show after you play
• Distrobox is required on SteamOS / immutable Linux, and Install sets it up
• Downloads Distrobox and a userspace Podman when they are missing
• Opens a SteamOS terminal for pacman if a password is needed
• One-click compile on other Linux distros still works on the host when Distrobox is not needed
• Mod Browser labels WiiCompiled + Dolphin vs Dolphin only
• Convert to patches writes loose Pulsar files the game can load

This is not the official Flatpak. That build is still Windows-only for WiiCompiled.
