RVT-H Reader Quick Start Guide

January 5, 2011 version

Setting Up the RVT-H Reader

The setup steps for an RVT-H Reader (such as connecting it to a TV) are the same as for the

retail Wii. Therefore, please follow the published setup instructions for the Wii.

For customers in the Americas, please visit the Nintendo customer service page:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/index.jsp. Click the System and Accessory Set Up link.

Follow the Basic Setup Steps.

For customers in Europe, please visit http://www.nintendo-europe.com. Choose your

language. Click the Support link. Click the Setup & Connect link for the Wii system. Follow the

Setup & Connect instructions.

Note 1: Do not use the Wii Remote to place the RVT-H Reader in standby. Use the power

button on the RVT-H Reader instead.

Note 2: The published instructions to synchronize your Wii Remote to the Wii also work for the

RVT-H Reader, but you must be running the Wii Menu or a game that is expecting input from

the Wii Remote.

Downloading the Writing Software and Instruction Manuals

Please download the RVL_WritingSoftware-20100203.zip package from WarioWorld.

Instruction documents are contained in this package as well as the software you will need to

transfer disc images to the RVT-H Reader. The manual that describes how to use the front

panel on the RVT-H Reader is RVT-H_manual.pdf. For more information about how to transfer

disc images to the RVT-H Reader please consult RVT_RH_SWUG2.pdf.

Downloading the RVL SDK

The RVL SDK contains the firmware updates for the RVT-H Reader. Download and unzip the

latest RVL SDK from WarioWorld. For specific instructions please see the Development

Environment Quick Start Guide.

Note that sometimes you need to download two packages: the package containing the base

SDK and a separate package containing the latest patches. Unzip the base SDK package first,

and then unzip the patch package over the folder that contains the base SDK.

Downloading makeUpdateDisc

Please download the makeUpdateDisc.zip package from WarioWorld. This will enable you to

convert .gcm disc images to files to .rvm disc images. An image must be in .rvm format to

transfer it to the RVT-H Reader.

Page 3: Updating The Firmware
There are actually two separate firmware types inside an RVT-H Reader. One firmware deals with the buttons on the front of the RVT-H Reader and can be updated via the “H Reader Update” button in the rvtwriter.exe program. We have not released an update for this firmware yet.
