I set to work first to figure out how to get it to USB load. Well, I managed to find solutions to both how to USB load it, and how to run Gecko codes alongside the LAN mod, making it much easier to set up a LAN party without nearly as much fuss.
The reasons I hadn't used it then were pretty simple: I couldn't USB Load with it (big deal breaker, this game is like $40 a pop!), I couldn't run any Gecko codes with it (I need my 150cc), and it doesn't work in Dolphin (which is through no fault of the mod as far as I know, its an issue with Dolphin, sadly). So, I wanted to find a better solution that wasn't 'Fuck it, I'mma just use Wiimmfi', so I turned my attention back to the MKW LAN mod made by Chadderz and MrBean35000vr. So, I had a MKW LAN party late last year using DWC emulator, and while it went great, I don't think I'll ever bother to set up (or maintain/keep around) DWC emulator again, since its honestly kind of a pain in the ass, and it doesn't seem to have been maintained in a few years now, so it'll only continue to be more and more of a pain in the ass as time goes on.
