https://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Retro_Rewind
>Retro Rewind is a custom track distribution created by ZPL. It features every retro track from Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 7, as well as some Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart Arcade GP tracks. As of v6.1.3, it also contains a custom track distribution with 80 original designs>The distribution also features its own Homebrew application, auto updater and custom online server.And either dolphin on your PC or a modded Wii:
>How to mod a Wii?https://wii.hacks.guide/get-started
also a great guide in general for wii modding if you're interested in homebrew and want some use out of your old console.
>How to play on PC?https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Installing_Dolphin
then follow the tutorial on the retrorewind link for dolphin
>HOW TO JOIN / MAKE ROOMS:Want to make some rooms for you and anons to play?
Go to "friends", "Register a Friend" and add the friend code of the host. Press a and then b to back out to the wifi menu, then go back to "Friends", "Find a Friend" and click them. You should now be in the lobby and should wait for others. Eazy! Btw for anyone wanting to make a open lobby in this game, just go to friends, and press the + button. read the message and select ok. just post your friend code in the thread and others can join.
(note: if it says "unable to join" the lobby is currently racing, you need to wait some minutes for the races to finish and the lobby to open again)
yesterday was a success suprisingly so i'm setting this up even though it's a little early, just so anons that want to join can prepare beforehand. if you want to add me my friend code is 1638-1104-8607, i will probably be around 21 CEST and host some rooms if needed (but anyone can host too whenever you want, or you can join random which is always open)
Listen we're trying to make sure everyone accepts intermissions in Mario Kart World. Can you take your illegal races elsewhere?
Well shit, I might dust off my Wii and check this out.
I've been watching MKWii videos after a decade of not playing, is Dolphin the better choice or should I just go with my ancient Wii? It has homebrew and at least CTGP installed
>>713879847i'm using my wii and it's flawless, but i also use it for other nice homebrew stuff and games. i'd say probably just use what you're most comfortable with (i.e. if you want upscaling or stuff like that). we had both wii and dolphin users last night
are any of the karts worth using in this version
>>713879847also keep in mind this is not CTGP but a mod with more players and less stupid shit, see
>>713865425>>713880412the karts have been bumped and everything in general is more balanced. everyone was using different characters with different vehicles yesterday
>>713877674 (OP)I'll try this out tonight op, so I just need dolphin and retro rewind? what is wheel wizard and the iso builder?
Oh shit this thread is up again! I'll try to hop on after work today. Even though I sucked at it yesterdays races were fun.
Friend code: 3693-6726-8856
>>713880358I only have an xbox one controller right now so I'll probably have to use Dolphin then, thanks
>>713877674 (OP)Here's a guide for people who want to play RetroRewind 6 on Dolphin but faced bugs when following the steps in the OP. This assumes you have a working version of Dolphin. (as in, you can launch the vanilla MKWii ISO without issues)
>1. Get the modhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nJp8g1F5YtTIABirO3wXjgzwkEd6qygZ
>2. Download WheelWizardhttps://github.com/TeamWheelWizard/WheelWizard
>3.Point WheelWizard to the Dolphin executable location, Mario Kart Wii ISO location and Dolphin User data location in the settings>4.Create your Mii and setup your profile in WheelWizard (if you don't want to be a nameless Player) >5.Add the zip file of the RetroRewind 6 mod into "My Stuff" and install the mod with WheelWizard (the mod will be installed in appdata by default) >6.???>7.Launch RetroRewind via WheelWizard, play online and have fun with Mario Kart WiiThis worked for me yesterday but I skipped the mii creating option.
How to create/join anon rooms is explained in the OP
It's too late for me, OP. pls
>>713878280It feels cool when you put it like that. Like Mario Kart Wii is some street racing corner
>>713881024either dolphin or a modded wii / wii U. i use a wii personally so i can't really help, but read
>>713881464>>713881341>>713881934don't worry, i put this up early so that new anons can set it up but i think peak hours are going to be EU and US night like yesterday, it's still pretty early now
>>713877674 (OP)ill set it up today but probably wont join until tomorrow. ive been thinking about modding my wii all week for mario kart ever since worlds nose dived.
Any of you ever made a character mod?
>no hype
get fucked WiiSnoys
Is there a room up? I feel like racing.
>>713888150anon the game is 20 years old
the custom tracks are pretty weird
Too early for me op. Have a bump and ill be on the track in a few hours
Do you need the Mario Kart Wii ISO if you download retro rewind?
>>713889253You can always make your own room anon.
Really, is that easy, you can check the previous thread just in case. Remember to share your ID
>>713891476>>713877674 (OP)is there a general or other forums for this
>>713889748i want to keep it bumped until the peak hours, i'm experimenting to see if it's best to keep a thread alive troughout the weekend or just make one every night
>>713889253>>713891476this and also there are public rooms you can join without any code just from the retro WFC menu
>>713878280Then why bother with veekend lobbies where we can choose any courses we want?
WII WOULD LIKE TO PLAY:
Hosting a room, add friend code 1079-7663-8884
I don't have to add anyone back due to how openhost works
>>713892419>I don't have to add anyone back due to how openhost workscorrect
>>713892419I'll get on in a bit. Retro Rewind menu's been crashing a ton so going to try Riivolution.
>>713892785I've had a couple crashes too on wii but it usually boots up on the 2nd or 3rd try for me
waithow do you start a race as host
>>713892920"close room", then it shows options like VS race or battle
>>713892948thanks! we're playin now
>testing single player of this RR mod
>500cc mode
>"meh, how bad can it be, probably a typo"

>>713893009kek i'm going to try it before we open rooms tonight
>>713892419Tried to join bro but just got cannot connect error
>>713893278its cause we're in races at the moment 2/4

๐
>>713893278The room's started right now, we're on Race 3, so it should be open again in a bit.
A tip for future hosts, remember to let people know when you're going to start the room in threads. The chatroom in MKWii proper has a "Let's wait 3 minutes" message, so I usually default to waiting 3 minutes before starting.
>>713893489I'll keep that in mind thanks. I didnt think more people would be joining yet. We're on the last race so it will be open again soon
>>713892419its open again right now for those who want to hop in
>>713881464WheelWizard crashes upon installing, forcing me to wait all over again. If that happens to you, install it manually using Dolphin's Riivolution patch feature.
Also make sure you have RetroAchievements turned off (or at least Hardcore mode), that was causing the fuck ups I had yesterday.

>>713894031>>713881464Another possible issue is that Wheel Wizard installs itself and the RR mod correctly, but still sends an error message. A possible fix for that is to ensure you have the latest stable build of the emulator

hope to see you tonight anons, i just found my wii wheel. fear me
>>713894112nice mii you got there
>>713880412yes, and you can also give every vehicle inside drift if you wish to.
>>713894645Wanted to populate my Dolphin Mii Plaza a bit, none of the King Harkinian Miis on MiiCharacters.com looked good to me, so I made it myself.
Keep getting DC'd. I'll try again in a bit.
>>713895205Sorry you couldn'tmake it. We just started the nextset of races. 8/12 players at the moment
I miss the MKWii Mii voices.
damn I'm really not used to inwards drift
The next set will will be my last, but someone can make their own room as openhost after
I really exposed how long itโs been since I played this game with that last match, lol.
I haven't played in a fucking decade and back then I played with the Wii Wheel
but boy if this menu theme doesn't send me back
>>713896296I'm pulling a Smash Bros and using the Gamecube Controller. I still have my Wii Wheel from when I first got the game though, probably could bring it out for a couple games if I want to.
whoever placed those fake item boxes is devilish
>>713896573that gets me thinking, are there any smash bros / smash bros brawl mods like this mario kart one? smash bros /v/ tournaments on either dolphin or modded wiis would be fucking awesome
Thanks for joining lads, was fun
I'll host the new room if we need.
3693-6726-8807
>>713896891Melee has Akaneia and Brawl has Project Plus, but the process of hopping online is less streamlined compared to MKWii Retro Rewind if I remember right because the former needs Netplay (I don't think Slippi supports mods like that) while the latter also needs Netplay because it uses Wiimmfi for WFC, which requires a NAND dump to login.
>bumped the wall at the end
fugggggg
>>713897289eh, i'm going to look into it regardless
btw i'm going to play tonight too but i guess i'll play a couple now too so i'm joining next room
All of you should lop your dicks off.
DC'd again. I was gonna get myself some food so it's not that big of a deal.
Room's open again. Will start in 3 minutes.
That Rainbow Road match was intense.
3693-6726-8807
>custom music works for all the retro CTs
>doesn't for the original CTs
odd.
Why did I love MK Wii but not find that same level of joy when playing MK8D? Will I like World if I liked Wii but don't like 8D?
>>713877674 (OP)Im back. Last night was fun
>>713899727We just got done with a round so the room's open again. Will start in 3 minutes.
3693-6726-8807
dead flopped forced sharted shilled seethe thread
Holy FUCK downloading Retro Rewind from Wheel Wizard takes forever. The remaining time is counting up instead of down.
>>713900010worked fine for me just an hour ago
>>713877674 (OP)is this easy to get working as a few clicks or is it forward your ports shit?
I had to leave, on a sad note. Fucking WYPIPO keeping a nigga down...
Good games, I might come back in a few hours
>>713900176No port forwarding needed for this. It uses custom Wi-Fi servers.
>>713900337it's revenge for yersterday placement of red blocks lol
Room's open again, will start in 3. This will be the last room I host for now, going to grab something to eat after.
3693-6726-8807
man I have no muscle memory for the controller, can't manage to throw items backwards, hold them properly or dodge pows lmao
>unauthorized device has been detected
What do?
i think i have to let go of my beloved bubble akira bike...
>>713901324dodge pows by whatever you have binded for tricks
Another bump, will be on the track in ~2hrs. Pls keep this kino thread alive until then
>>713901419i'll have to try that, i tried to whack the controller upwards like a wiimote out of muscle memory
also wtf was that thundercloud+mega mushroom combo item all of a sudden
Ggs for now, thank you for hosting
>playing games for little kids
Groomer thread.
>>713901540Thundercloud was replaced with a Mega Thundercloud in this mod. It makes smaller rooms much better since 2nd and 3rd in a 3 person room don't get immediately screwed over, and also changes the balance by making it so people actively aim for the person with the Mega cloud to get the reward.
>>713901360Update: Most likely has to do with my old version of dolphin. Looks like you need at least windows 10 to join.
So I tried in both Dolphin and using Wheel Wizard, but when I try to go to Multiplayer or Wiimmfi, it just tries to connect to the Nintendo WFC bullshit. Did I miss something in the config?
Good games, everyone.
Reminder for future room hosts to enable Openhost by pressing + in the main friend menu. By doing this, other people are able to join you without needing to add them back.
>>713902860see you later! i'll play tonight in ~3 hours
>>713902676>WiimmfiDon't use Wiimmfi to play online. Retro Rewind uses Wiilink servers instead which is already patched into the mod.
ggs, i'll be back later probably if the thread's still up
Imagine World making you seethe so hard that you make this thread.
Switch 2 Derangement Syndrome is something else.
>>713902860Ggs, thanks for hosting anon
>>713903112>/v/ when you actually play a game
>>713903192This thread is just seething snoys trying to drown World threads for a game that is no longer profitable. You do the same shit with Melee when a new Smash releases.
don't reply to obvious bait guys.
schizophrenics should be banned
>>713903192it's literal bots or brownsnoys who think they're making a statement against nintendo
>>713903327>You do the same shit with Melee when a new Smash releasesand that's bad because...?
I don't know who's worse between 8snoys or Wiisnoys
>>713903697Worldsnoys by far
>>713903002As I said, I downloaded the mod manually, loaded the Riivolution xml and started the game. Wiimmfi is there by default. I then tried Wheel Wizard with the same results. I'm at a loss, as this is all from a clean install.
>>713903948But Mario Kart World makes you seethe, Eric.
>>713903992i'm playing on wii, but have you tried this
>>713881464 ?
>>713903992Try using Wheel Wizard to install the mod. I didn't have to load anything, I just added the MKWii .iso to Dolphin and pressed install Retro Rewind through Wheel Wizard, didn't have to load any riivolution xmls or anything
mentally ill gpt bot wiisnoy thread
stop samefagging
>>713904147>>713904215Got it working. Thanks. I don't know if loading the mod did it or if having hardcore mode enable for retroachievements did it, but all good.
>>713904642hope to see you later!
>>713881464what is in this drive folder?
>>713905292you can join random, otherwise try adding the codes all around the thread and see if they are hosting. most will probably be back later we just finished a room
>>713905292Seems like people are heading off for now, a few are saying they'll join in about 2-3 hours.

>>713905292>>713905490>>713905504>if I bump the thread and reply to myself it makes it sound like Mario kart Wii is more popular than world and wiisnoys are playing the gameThat's not how it works, eric
>>713905292Someone will post a friend-code when they get back and feel like hosting
>>713905580do i have to send photos of the lobbies too later?

SAARS WE HAVE TO MAKE MORE MARIO KART WII AND DOUBLE DASH THREADS TO BTFO NINTENDO AND WORLD
>>713907559>assuming indians can use computerslmao
Ugh I hate this shit. So what is wheel wizard and what is retro rewind? Which one is the one I need? I use dolphin on pc (linux) I have no idea what these things do or where they go. Tutorial is 10 minutes nasely voice, installing on wii, just meandering not even explaining what any shit is in simple terms.
>>713907559This but unironically
>>713877674 (OP)How do I download a custom mii and transfer to it to dolphin ?
>>713908067>download wheel wizard>run wheel wizard>set up the file paths for dolphin exe, dolphin user file and your mario kart iso in wheelwizard>download retro rewind through wheelwizard>setup your mii>click play on wheelwizard after retro rewind is done downloadingI'm on windows but this is basically what I did.
>Nintendo when they can't make money off of the sudden rise in popularity of SMK, MK64, MKSC, MKDD, MKW, MK7, and MK8 (Wii U)
>>713881341Finally home, are there any races happening right now or should I wait until later?
>>713909657i don't think there's any from this thread right now, i'll join an hour from now, night is approaching in euroland
hey schizo come back and bump the thread
This game is so much harder compared to the Switch titles.

What to do next? I hope I don't have to assemble it or some shit, in that case I'm out.

bye for now, thanks for playing! remember to press + to do open host before hosting a room. i might come back later or i'll see you tomorrow
Thanks for the games, I sure do love getting third then getting item spammed until I get to last place haha
See you guys later, I might play in like 10-12 hours if I remember.
>1st place in the last race.
Finally!

>>713935827Any requests for the next GP? 1/4 races done on this GP.
>>713937535you have to wait for the room to finish 4 races. It tells you on the friend list
>>713937560If you haven't already, I think I'd change the item box settings to fast in case people are used to how quick the timer is for 8DX and World.
inside drift on a kart feels really weird.
>>713937801I like using the default hybrid settings (inside turning without drift, outside when you drift. The sharp driftless turns remind me a lot of classic pre-Wii Mario Kart games.
Last GP for me this one, someone will have to host.

Also thanks to whoever recommended that Eurobeat music pack last thread. Races feel a lot more intense now.
whatever just happened crashed my game lol
so far not really liking what they did to the controls
What does Chud mean by this?
>>713940206Manual drifting uses the classic control scheme, if the Hybrid/multi-drift style is the issue.
>>713940335tried manual on DK Jungle, using the dpad for items is fucked
>>713940997>using the dpad for items is fuckedWhat controller are you using? The only time D-Pad is ever used for items is if you're using the Wii Wheel normally.

starting in 2 mins
>>713941101didn't have my gamecube controller set up, pretty clear this wasn't really designed with wiimote users in mind lol
ggs, gotta get some sleep for work. Will be on tomorrow for sure
>>713877674 (OP)I wish this mod has more tracks. There's mods out there has like 700+ custom tracks. I wonder why this one got popular
>>713944413From my experience with CTGP-R, most of those tracks are complete garbage.
>>713944413The retro course gimmick makes it a lot more palatable to casual/non-tryhard players put off by the iffy quality of OC custom tracks. It also helps that Retro Rewind uses Wiilink WFC to connect online instead of Wiimmfi, since the latter needs a NAND dump to access on Dolphin.
This isn't even getting into the can of worms regarding how badly CTGP-R dropped the ball.
>>713944889>>713944713This mod looks interesting. It has new gamemodes, options etc
https://youtu.be/eaMplFPkqN8?si=UxAzl6RPcIC1gZ5P
>>713944713There are some really good custom custom tracks that are on par with official tracks. Mr. Bean for some reason has an autistic boner for keeping objectively shit tracks like Mushroom Peaks and Six King Labyrinth in CTGP-R for legacy purposes, leaving a bad first impression for newcomers.
I actually have this mod. How do I set up Dolphin for online?
>>713945237Just use WheelWizard, nothing else is needed
>>713941421>maybe finali missed it can you do this again tomorrow
or through the night if anyone else stays up til 4am like me
>>713944413>>713944889>>713944975imo, Retro Rewind is the ideal mod for this type of thing. If you want like a shitton of CTs there's always Insane Kart Wii but there's a TOOOON of dogshit in there.
I do find it a little interesting how Bean had it all with CTGP-R at first, but his petty decisions led to the MKWii playerbase splintering off.
>>713945364I'm still on, but I don't think a 2-man room's all that exciting unless you're fine with that.
>>713945332I keep clicking the install retro rewind button and it keeps crashing
i already have the mod, where do i move the folders for wheelwizard to recognize it
>>713945843Other than keeping Mushroom Peaks in the game (which I'm ambivalent to, it's a bad track but it's kind of funny as a meme) what did he do?
>>713946431A few things.
>excessive anticheat DRM mentality that still forces you to use a disc, even though the Wii is 17 years old so Nintendo doesn't profit off the game anyway and disc drives (and in the Wii U's case, entire NANDs) are dying, so the barrier of entry is much higher.>course lineup is bad, Mushroom Peaks is notable but a lot of high quality new courses don't make the cut while low quality "historical" courses are still in. Modern modpacks have much better course lineups than what CTGP continues to keep in>constant need to update the game every time it's booted makes playing a hassle for casualsApparently everyone in his staff team wants Dolphin support but he put his foot down on this one for anticheat/"integrity" and antipiracy. This one's the biggest hurdle for CTGP that led to the playerbase dying, because as the Wii gets older less and less people are willing to boot up their old system or buy a new one alongside the disc just to play one mod. There's also some drama regarding Bean himself dating an underageb& and Chadderz going trans or something, but I don't care too much about internet drama, the mod itself stagnated.
>>713945843>>713947094What are some other mods the playerbase is splintering to? I'm guessing RR is the most popular for Dolphin players at this point.
>>713947775Retro Rewind is the one that actually has players for random WWs, but other mods like CTGP-Classic (a fork of CTGP that allows Dolphin players to play using Retro Rewind's servers), Insane Kart Wii (has a ton of courses and options, but uses Wiimmfi so you need a NAND dump to play online on Dolphin), and novelty gimmick mods like Formula Kart Wii (which makes every track 50 laps) are also popular enough.
I wouldn't really bank on finding other players for non-Retro Rewind mods, the other choices tend to be for offline casual, or for more serious players to mess around with in friend rooms.
>>713946375I'm not sure if this is the only place it installed but this was my path
C:\ users \ me \ documents \ dolphin emulator \ load \ riivolution \ wheelwizard
>>713945332Huh, that's easier than expected
Why aren't more people playing this
>>713948363Where does deluxe fit into this? I only learned about it (and played) since like a month or two ago before I found these threads. Im going to guess it's on the smaller side of modpacks in terms of population, definitely in comparison to RR.
>>713950062Forgot to mention Deluxe. That one feels the closest to CTGP in terms of what it sets out to do. It has 700 or so CTs and the quality is still kind of iffy, but having more courses means more opportunities to get good ones, and it supports other things like built-in custom skins for characters. It's probably the second most active after Retro Rewind since it uses an AltWFC fork that makes it easily accessible.
In terms of other Mario Kart mods, Double Dash has MKDD Plus, which is a course expansion hack. Nothing else seems to be changed for the most part, however.
7 has CTGP-7 which adds a bunch of new courses into the game just like the other mods, but also includes item balance changes (the readdition of fake item box and Mega Mushroom) alongside alt characters that actually show up in multiplayer. It's got a niche and also works on Citra (and its forks) but 7's nowhere near as big as Wii so usually it's just one active WW room.
Fun Mario kart games today.
Anyone up for some races today?
>>713959339If someone can make a lobby I'll play in 30-45 mins from now.
Time to make a character mod pack for myself in the meantime.
I tried setting this shit up for dolphin but it appears that I'm too retarded how to set this shit up, I tried using wheel wizard but it just closes as soon as it finishes extracting retro rewind, when I open it back up it acts like it did nothing and prompts me to install retro rewind, I'm using Dolphin 2506a if that matters
>>713961887have you picked the folders?
>>713961887It might ask you to download a Microsoft C++ redistributable and its hidden behind the other folders. It hung up on me until I saw the popup and then the rest worked fine.
Also what
>>713962094 said, select your Dolphin folder and .iso file
>>713961887is your retro rewind updated
Would the 24 player mod work online ever? I remember seeing videos about it years ago.
My emulator crashes as soon as I try to join online via this button
>>713962851I manually installed it because the wheel wizard installer kills itself just as the installer finishes
MKW stands for Mario Kart World or Wii? Who will win?
>>713877674 (OP)Where would I get a MKWII rom after Nintendo's crusade? And would the emulator already be configured to simulate motion controls or do I need to fuck around in the settings for like an hour to get it to work?
>>713962695lol you have it working! you're picking the wrong option on the menu go to retro WFC. that button isn't crashing it, it does exactly what it says
>>713963051wii came first
>>713963383But he who laughs first laughs last.
>>713962695Have you never played Mario Kart Wii before?
the thread is still up? nice!
>>713963254try r-roms(dot)github(dot)io and look up who's up / who's available for your IP.
>>713960875Is there a way to have every custom character use one folder? I can see the characters ingame but it doesn't load the icons for custom characters (eg. character select, minimap).
>>713963254got mine from vimm's lair
>>713962094>>713962131>>713962151figured it out, I just used an older version of wheel wizard and it worked, I thought I'd leave this reply here in case other anons in the future struggle
>>713923278Bro I play on dolphin on an xbox controller. You don't need the wheel.
You can emulate a Wii controller (the one with sticks and buttons, not the wii remote with laser pointing) and you can play as normal
>>713932317You can pirate it all. Im running an emulator with an xbox controller.
>>713969057Already got it working, even got custom characters working.
Is it normal for the game to crash when you get to the award ceremony if I play Grand Prix with custom characters on?
what websites do you guys use for mario kart mods and general wii mods?
>>713967582What version did you use?
>>713970452Wheel wizard 2.3.0
>>713970576this is the one that crashes when extracting rr
>>7139704522.2.0 works for installing RR then you can just switch back to 2.3.0
Would it be possible to play CTGP with this? Not saying I prefer that over Retro Rewind as I only played it once or twice years and years ago, rather it would give us more course variety.
Then I looked on the online status page and nobody's playing. Is it really that dead?
>>713970958it's way too early, last night there were 80-100 players besides our room
>CTGPsee
>>713947094
>>713971158Shame, would CTGP-Classic like
>>713948363 mentioned be an option in the future if it works with Dolphin?
>>713971774i'm not sure, i chose retro rewind because it's full open source and some anon showed it to me, but mostly for player count. there are quite a lot of courses too, every mk kart to some of 8 plus 80 custom tracks and it's also rebalanced, so i don't think it's that much of a problem desu. we're having fun so far
>>713972267Fair enough. It's more a suggestion if anything incase interest goes down, otherwise I'm totally fine with the Retro Rewind tracks for the sake of learning how to play even if some of the custom tracks are a little stale at times.
>>713972519i'm open to anything you anons like really. if interest goes to ctgp-classic in the future then sure!
>>713972775Let's try to play this for a couple weeks then mix things around and play CTGP-Classic once to see what the /v/erdict is. Just write a tutorial and we're good
>>713877674 (OP)MK World room doko?

>>713978813yeah, still pretty early imo. i'm going to host some rooms at 17-18 cest maybe and then 21 cest as usual.
by the way, it's ok to use tripcodes in here right?
>>713979157If you are hosting then go for it, but the odds you'll be impersonated by somebody else are really low.
I finally got 3rd place after coming last in every single race! Feels good to not be last after years of not playing.

>>713974304>cool character is metaMixed feelings. On one hand he gets overused, on the other hand it's better than the meta being an ugly clown combo.
>>713981471This is how your average RR lobby plays out. I'm not that skilled at this but I like to play with other characters and karts too but then half of the lobby is just Funky + Flame Runner. Atleast the /v/ lobbies are better, yesterday I didn't see anyone play as him and every character is selectable from the start.
>>713981778I just don't care about metafagging. I also don't like using bikes and I don't like inward drifting so I simply don't.
>>713981778The character difference is fairly minimal outside of time trials though
>>713981778I usually pick random characters and karts. It does suck that RR is full of metafags, especially since the playerbase is pretty small
>>713974304How you get rob ? Can other people see mods ?
What's the new room number ?
>>713877674 (OP)Finally got Wheel Wizard to install. Doing it with Riivolution patches would ultimately end up crashing on some courses (and might've been a reason why I kept disconnecting), so I had to do it sooner or later.
I did end up getting a new friend code out of it, so if you registered my old code (
>>713924715), get rid of it.
>>713981778>>713982323For what it's worth, it's still not too hard to keep up with meta players with non-meta picks both due to the character stats barely mattering and because of how heavily buffed karts are.
Also see quite a bit of Daisy love on /v/ lobbies even though she's also "meta", but I think she's become a lot more niche lately since heavies dominate most courses and most people here are picking out of genuine love anyway.
>>713984458Fair points anon. It definitely doesn't stop me from picking offmeta and having a good time
>>713982920none at the moment, i'll host in about an hour if there's people
>>713984458i'm still picking dry bones + jet bubble purely for fun even though i get launched into space by heavies lol.
i also saw takumi being pretty insane with rosalina i think.
>>713877674 (OP)Can I play online randoms on retro rewind? Is it active?
>>713984972How active is it compared to wiimmfi? I like the idea of unwinding after work and playing MKWii on my Deck.
>>713985391That I have no idea. Maybe another anon knows. I haven't had a problem getting into full or near-full lobbies in RR so far but I'm relatively new to it
>>713985391Much more popular than Wiimmfi due to the ease of access thanks to Dolphin support since it uses a Wiilink WFC fork. It's also one of the only custom track packs to actually get players in for randoms now. Worth mentioning however that the Kart balance changes, Mega Thunder Cloud and the VR system update (now goes into 5 digits instead of capping at 9999) are applied.
For comparison this is the state of CTGP right now
>>713932974, everyone else using Wiimmfi servers is playing standard 32.

Drift-heavy courses like Neo Bowser City really showcase just how stacked the new karts are. Guess people in WWs are just too used to inside drift bikes to give them a go, which I don't blame them for.

Reminder to press the wheelie button (D-Pad Up for Classic and GC, waggle upward for Nunchuck and Wheel) when a POW block shows up, since it negates the damage dealt when getting hit by it. Even if you're using a kart you can negate damage that way.

I should try to make a character pack later. A simple one but better than nothing
>>713998452Just out of curiosity, do you get custom voice clips in your mods? I tried a Kirby over Baby Peach Mod and while it loaded in game, Baby Peach's voice clips were still used.
What lobbies are open right now? I just got home and I'm looking forward to racing. Maybe in a full lobby we can do baby park for pure chaos or just do every rainbow road.
>>713998452How come I have a cute anime girl spinning for the loading circle?
Thanks to whoever that Rosalina was that boosted me.
>>713999040I still need to figure that out. Right now every character is its own mod so I need to stitch them all together into a single mod. I can only hear Gex's voicelines that were changed
>>713999262nta but i had that too, but she disappeared once i added my own mods

I'm already having more fun with this than Mario Kart World. If only they made something like this in MKDS....
>>714000650They'd have to find a way to make DS Download Play netplay work. The problem with DS is that the online service only supports 4 players, locks out a lot of courses, changes the item balance and forces 100cc. With Local Play rules there are no restrictions.
