| could this be the greatest hack ever created? anyway, it's amazing what you did. the themes are incredible. how long did you spend? good luck to everyone else in super mario kart creations, especially impala. it's good to know there are people still interested in this game besides time trials--http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=SMK i guess the main problem i had was the courses were too dark. i know this project has been retired completely, but the themes fit well although my eyes couldn't adjust much. i noticed you couldn't alter the courses with trackdes, heh. thanks for all the rom info again. btw, could you change the code through ASM instead of hex? and did you find out how the items were distributed. we took a random sample of about 200 items in battle and came up with the probabilities. race seems to be governed by lap, when you released your last item, and the place you're in. ser found the hex driving data, but i guess he took down the text file.

Top Speed > 0x018200 - 9003 9003 B003 7003 B003 6003 6003 7003 if you edit the top speeds, you have to reverse the order (dont ask me why) so 9003 is actually 0390 in hex. so gettin Match at 150cc speed is easy for 200cc you also may have to mess with the last values of the accel. curve or else some chars wont ever reach their max speed |

| yeah, did you have to change the graphics bit by bit? i guess it could be faster if you were to edit code instead of change the graphics and sound. the shrinking clouds was a unique effect. i thought those spiky thwomps were like the ones on rainbow road at first. some courses had cheap lapskips cause of the shortcuts. maybe it would have played into the shortcuts more if you added more question marks. are you completely done with all mario kart projects? i'd eventually hope to make/see a 4-player version in a few years at least, but i wonder if it would max out the rom space. i know smk is smaller compared to the other ones. i know i can get a few people initallly from the french smk board and some from the english one, but i don't know how many of them want to spend a couple months on learning and programming. a lot of times people lose interest in games after spending way too much time on them. i think my friend emailed you a couple months ago about the AI checkpoints. nico_neufneuf at yahoo dot fr well, if you check sufamiheinz, you'll find them somewhere. if you ever want the hardest battle mode challenge or want to learn about some long boost techniques and shortcuts, we can play online. duffrageous@hotmail.com thanks. |

| ok, here you go. i don't think you want to mess with turning unless you want to give koopa's handling to dk, or yoshi's acceleration to dk. http://www.gdward.plus.com/site/gaming/docs/smk.txt | |||

| hi. choose the course you want to edit. edit your course. choose save to rom. confirm yes. close. click no to save track. load the rom. if the rom is already loaded, you have to change courses to see any changes. there are a few hacked track versions floating around. there is a new one that will be released this week. | |||

| i'm guessing you use the pal rom (E). the track designer does not work with that. | |||

| guys, when you say a place has water, make sure you specify if it is ice, as is the case with europa. titan might have lakes and rivers of ethane. below the cold surface of these moons may have the right temperature for liquid water, but we would have a hard time probing for geothermal/subsurface life there. | |||

| yeah, you're right. it would be ridiculous to assume the same species of complex organisms are present in other places in the universe given the randomness of mutations and natural selection. but, it's believed silicon based lifeforms are a possibility because of the similar chemical properties of silicon and carbon. | |||

| wow, nice work documenting everything. this will definitely be of help along with the speed locations. i never looked at this before i grew interested in my own. | |||

| why don't you use your money that you would normally spend for internet and cable service each month and donate that? there's nothing intelligent on here anyway. then encourage all your neighbors to do the same, and notify the government of your actions. the government is funded through taxes, which are supposed to be used on programs that benefit its people. nobody wants a paycheck that says 10% monrovia fund tax. president bush cut the nasa budget tremendously already, not to allocate more funds to poor countries, though. everyone's churning out money for this tsunami relief fund, but no one has the time of day for any other charity. the world is full of suffering, and it won't be fixed until education and family planning programs are widespread; women, men, and all races have equal rights; technological advances occur there, etc. in other words, people look out for themselves first, family or friends after, and strangers once a decade. that is why we have a space program. |

| if we simply relocated impoverished people to the moon, mars, etc, why would we even have to worry about feeding them? | |||

Originally posted by HyperHacker no, we do all kinds of animal testing, especially on rats. it's true we share large amounts of genes with dogs and rats, but if you imagine genes like computer programs and animals like operating systems, you can see the problems. here is an interesting article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3703935.stm time is the key ingredient to curing anything. science and technology improve exponentially, but the human life span seems to be the limiting factor. perhaps, years in the future, we will have other diseses that take exponentially as long to cure. |
