v2.5.4-linux.wiicompiled.2

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.

Home Install then downloads Retro Rewind and the WiiCompiled AppImage and compiles the native game in-app. You do not need Distrobox, Podman, or a compiler.

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

• One-click WiiCompiled compile on SteamOS and other Linux distros
• Downloads the Ubuntu linker libraries SteamOS is missing (libxml2.so.2)
• Uses Distrobox automatically when Podman or Docker is already there; otherwise compiles on the host
• If Distrobox setup fails, Install keeps going and compiles on the host
• 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.
