The '''Revolution SDK''' was the SDK used to develop Wii games. In short, it is known as the RVL_SDK; this was the usual identifier applied to it after early versions of the SDK where it was identified as the Revolution SDK. It is an extension of the [[Dolphin SDK|Dolphin]] (GameCube) SDK. It is no longer available from official sources, since WarioWorld is closed. However, Nintendo's Software Development Support Group (SDSG) still has access to it. [[Prototype Revolution SDK|Early versions]] of the SDK consisted of only the WPAD and KPAD libraries, and some early documentation; they were used as extensions/patches for the GameCube SDK.
