This forum is lacking in a guide for Riivolution, so here yah go.

1. The Setup
(Note: This is uneeded if your loading BBrawl, Brawl+, Brawl -, etc.)
Setting up Riivolution is fairly easy. First, download Riivolution and extract the apps folder to the root of the SD Card, or merge it if you have other apps. Then create another folder in the root of your SD card and name it Riivolution. Next, download this .xml and put it in x:\Riivolution. Riivolution uses .xml's to tell it where the files it needs patch are and what there are called. There are a few .xml's, but the one I provided is one that uses the same directories and file names as the File Patch Code, only the files that save with an _en at the end need the _en. Now, make a folder, name it config, and put this .xml in it. Your files should look something like this...
x:\riivolution\ssbbfiles.xml
x:\apps\riivolution\(all the app files)
You should be all set up for loading all you files for Riivolution.
1.1 Using Brawl+, Brawl-, BBrawl, Project M, etc.
To load mods like Brawl+, download this .xml, place it in Riivolution folder and name it modlauncher.xml and dowload codehandler.bin and place it in x:\Riivolution. Now, this .xml does not have File Patch Code support, so the files go in a different location, but the benefit is that you can also toggle between Brawl+, Brawl-, and Project M.
File Locations
=========== Where do I place my mods? ===================
X:/brawlmods/bbrawl/ - Balanced Brawl. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.
X:/brawlmods/brawlminus/ - Brawl Minus. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.
X:/brawlmods/brawlplus/ - Brawl Plus. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.
X:/brawlmods/custom1/ - Custom Set #1. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.
X:/brawlmods/custom2/ - Custom Set #2. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.
X:/brawlmods/projectm/ - Project: M. RSBE01.gct goes in this folder, as well as all of the other "pf" files.
X:/brawlmods/vbrawl/ - Regular Brawl. RSBE01.gct goes in the root of this folder. Contains "fighter",
"info", "info2", "menu", "menu2", "module", "stage" and "system" folders as well.
=========== Where do I place my music? ===================
X:/brawlmods/music/ - Where you place "info.pac", and optionally, "smashbros_sound.brsar".
X:/brawlmods/music/strm/ - Where you place all of your BRSTM files to be used in game.
=========== Where do I place my textures? ================
X:/brawlmods/textures/fighter/ - All of the character textures go here, e.g. X:/brawlmods/textures/fighter/captain/FitCaptain00.pac
X:/brawlmods/textures/info/ - Anything that belongs in "info" goes in here.
X:/brawlmods/textures/menu/ - Anythin that belongs in "menu" goes in here.
X:/brawlmods/textures/menu2/ - Anything that belongs in "menu2" or "pfmenu2" goes in here.
X:/brawlmods/stages/ - All stage textures (pac) + any module files (rel) go here.
=========== How about my movies (THP files)? =============
X:/brawlmods/movies/ - Place any THP files you have in here.
Quoted from the modlauncher.xml instructions.
1.2 The Riivolution Channel
When your at the screen for Riivolution, you'll notice an install button. Basically, what this will do is install a channel to launch Riivolution.
2. Using Ocarina Codes
(Unneeded if loading Brawl+, Brawl-, BBrawl, Project M, etc.)
Ocarina codes are sometimes necessary for loading things like a CSS. But loading Ocarina codes, you need a separate .xml for it. Just download codehandler.bin (download above) and ocarina.xml, put them in the x:\Riivolution, put your RSBE01.gct in the codes folder like normal, and there, your codes are loaded.
NOTE: Do NOT use the File Patch Code when using Riivolution!
3. F.A.Q
Q. Why won't it let me save replays or snapshots to my SD Card?
A. Riivolution ends up locking the SD Card to load the files. For a solution to the snapshot problem, just take the snapshot, save it to your Wii, start up brawl normally, and copy the snapshot to your SD card.
Q. Does Riivolution work with Back-Up's?
A. No it does not, and it never will
4. Things to Note

A. No it does not, and it never will
4. Things to Note
- There's no file size limit on any file to my knowledge, so go crazy.
- When using Riivolution, .pac files that overpower another when using the FPC are reversed and, in my experience, cause freezing. To fix this, just put the file that is overpowered in the overpowering file (i.e replacing your custom sc_selmap.pac with the one in common5_en.pac)
