MH3 Server Project patcher

The goal of this repository is to provide different ways to patch the game. The users will pick the one they prefer. Currently, this repository provides:

Riivolution patcher (for emulator and disc users)
ISO patcher (for USB loader users)

This repository only provides patching mechanisms, not the servers you have to run to play online. So you still have to run the servers on your machine and setup the proper redirection.

ISO patcher

The ISO patcher is a set of scripts to patch disc images directly. Just put the game image in the iso-patcher folder and run the patch-images script to generate a patched image under the mh3sp-images directory.

Manual patching

A really rough alternative is to patch your game manually, as explained in the MH3SP wiki:

Patch the game's main.dol certificate.
Patch the game to use Wiimmfi or AltWFC.

Licensing

This project is licensed under the AGPLv3. The iso-patcher is licensed under GPLv2 or any later version since it is based on Wiimm's ISO Tools and Wiimmfi ISO Patcher.
