After downloading and extracting the ZIP archive of your desired region (NTSC, PAL, or JAP), merge all the files in the <code>files</code> and <code>sys</code> directories onto the directories of an ISO file previously extracted via 🐬 '''Dolphin'''.
First, an original ISO of the game needs to be extracted via 🐬 '''Dolphin''':


<small><small>'''Note:''' For details on extracting a GameCube ISO file see [[Breaking open an ISO]].</small></small>
* Launch Dolphin.
* Make sure that the game that you wish to extract appears in the game list.
* Right-click on the game, and select '''Properties'''.
* In the '''Properties''' dialog, go to the '''Filesystem''' tab.
* Right-click on the root item, and select '''Extract Entire Disc...''':


Once the directories have been merged, add the path to the <code>sys/main.dol</code> file into the '''Config > Paths > Game Folders''' setting in 🐬 '''Dolphin'''. A new entry should now appear in the game list (if file names are visible, it will show <code>main.dol</code>). The new entry can be used to launch the extended '''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''' with the reverse courses.

Then, download and extract the MKDD Reverse archive for your desired region (NTSC, PAL, or JAP), and merge all the files in the <code>files</code> and <code>sys</code> directories onto the directories of the ISO file previously extracted.
 
Once the directories have been merged, add the path to the <code>sys/main.dol</code> file into the '''Config > Paths > Game Folders''' setting in 🐬 '''Dolphin'''. A new entry should now appear in the game list (if file names are visible, it will show the <code>main.dol</code> name). The new entry can be used to launch the extended Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with the reverse courses.


In the game, use <code>Z + D-pad Left</code> and <code>Z + D-pad Right</code> in the '''SELECT CUP''' or '''SELECT COURSE''' screens to switch between the reverse courses and the retail courses.
