Filesystem

This article describes the filesystem of Mario Kart 8 (PAL release).

The Wii U uses an architecture similar to the Unix filesystem, in that there is a root directory / and all devices are mounted to subdirectories of this root. While an application is running /vol/content points to the main read-only data directory of that application. The contents of the Mario Kart 8 game disk or download data are mounted to this directory. The data contains all the courses, music, and many other files used by the game.
