The Revolution SDK was the SDK used to develop Wii games. In short, it is known as the RVL_SDK; this was the usual identifier applied to it after early versions of the SDK where it was identified as the Revolution SDK. It is an extension of the Dolphin (GameCube) SDK. It is no longer available from official sources, since WarioWorld is closed. However, Nintendo's Software Development Support Group (SDSG) still has access to it. Early versions of the SDK consisted of only the WPAD and KPAD libraries, and some early documentation; they were used as extensions/patches for the GameCube SDK.

Versions (TODO):

  • Late 2005 Wii Remote prototype versions
  • 1.0
  • 1.0 patch 1
  • 1.0 patch 2
