Looking to download CTGP here soon, just want to make sure from someone who has it already, is this method safe for your computer and Wii? I assume it is, but I just want to make sure before I download

[@EthanSweat]

FOR EVERYONE WHO DOESN"T KNOW WHY IT SAYS "The file you want to download is no longer available." It is because there is TWO CTGP folders. One is in the apps folder the other is on the main page. Put the one in the apps folder in the apps folder and then put the on with the other files at the root of the sd card. That should fix it!

Hey everyone, just so you all know, that isn’t my MAC address, infact I just borrowed that clip from Mr.Bean35000vr’s video, so I didn’t have to show my own. Its from his own unused console. Also the most you can do with that MAC address is just impersonate the CTGP-R account on the unused console. Hope that clears stuff up! Thx.

Do you need to have a disk of MKWii to have CTGP-R? Because I don’t and I followed your steps, but in the homebrew channel I don’t see CTGP standing anywhere

[@The_Yellow_Luma]

You gotta have a disk, cause it's like an extension to mkw. But to use an extension you have to have the original game.

[@The_Yellow_Luma]

@@TheRealBoloci update : you can actually play CTGP on emulator but first it's complicated to setup and second it will be consuming a stupid amount of power on your pc, so unless you have a really good PC you'll be playing on a slow game

[@user-zu8ru4sx3w]

I had the same error, so what I noticed while looking over my files in the SD card was that there were 2 boot.elf files. The first one came from the Homebrew Launcher download files and the 2nd came from the CTGP-R files. After installing the Homebrew Channel on your Wii, you won't need the files anymore as all you will need would be the apps folder. So deleting the Homebrew files should solve your problem.
