| Hi
Has anybody out there continued to hack Mario kart DS? So far I have been able to hack new tracks that I dont think anyone has played before: 
MY next project is gettin shyguy as main character. Any one else done anything to the Rom? |

| Yes but only 1 track has been hacked and played on and that was Mario circit GC.
This course was displayed as pure white as it had no textures. I have added the textures and got the other tracks workin as well. I have created a demo if anyone wants to try it out. |

| Ah yes Test circle. That simple 1 lap track, what was the point in that.
What you do it extract the textures fromt the kiosk version and intergate it into the texture file. Doin this will allow the game to access the textures and display them fully. You can use Hex-editor to do this which can be quite very long. Oh and about shyguy. He is in the files MainKartA and MainkartB. His name is heyho in the games memory. Wow didnt know others have been findin this out so thanks for tellin me. But can you play them on WiFi tho. I know you can select them but it stalls as soon as you try. |

| You are half right about shyguy there. The problem with having shyguy as a main character is that if you were to add him into the main character select screen. You will see shyguy and you can be played as shyguy. But if you were on multiplayer and you were shyguy. The other person will see you as the character you replaced. I.e. if I replaced daisy with shyguy, i can see shyguy opn my DS but you will see me as daisy. But to get around this is simple. If you had the same Rom that I have with shyguy. We both can see each other.
Oh yes about the beta tracks. Played them too and they are awsome. The Waluigi pinball beta is much better than what we have now. Jus havin a little problem with addin it to the Normal Rom tho. |

| I only know of these track files:
Unused courses - Dokan, Donkey, MiniBlocks, test circle, Mario GC and testing. Beta tracks - Waluigi Pinball, bowser castle, cheep cheep beach, Delfino square, tick tock clock, wario stadium and airship fortess. All the tracks are complete (you can race on them) just was not totally finnished as in detail to surroundings. Would you like some pictures? |

| Well the best example I can give is that if I changed Block fort and swaped it with MiniBlocks. I have found that the difficulty rises. Its on of the most violent battle grounds I have seen. Maybe they did this for fun as they knew it wasnt goin to be added.
I have uploaded some pictures for you lot to see: Dokan -  
Donkey -  
Mario GC -   |

This is great work! I wonder if there are unused tracks in the MK64 memory as well. Can you provide a link for us to try out  when its ready that it. |

| The best devices that I have found to run Roms on the Nintendo DS is the Supercard and the M3. You can buy them on ebay and such. For the software needed to play the Roms you can go to the offical sites and they will give you updates. But to play NDS Roms you will have to have another device to redirect the NDS port to the GBA port, trickin the DS to thinkin the GBA port is for NDS games. They are known as Passme and passkey. You can also install flashme/firmware as well if you dont want to use these hardwares.
Oh and there is no patch. Im re-programming the Rom itself so that they are a fixed feature. Once I have created MKDS2, Everyone would then be able to download it. But there is a problem. If you tried to play against someone with the normal game it will crash. They dont have those levels activated on their games carts. So you can only play against someone else with the same Rom. I would like some of you to try out the Demo tho. Just to know your thoughts about it. |

| I have to agree. Bein able to see the levels in this way gives you the kinda understanding of how the game works. How they planned the levels out and such. You have basically recreated thier own programs and thats pretty hard to do. So congrats |

| Erm I dont see how. The Roms are the actual games. So there are no diffrence between them . So im not sure how Nintendo can tell if they are extracted Roms or not. But lets say that waz tru. Jus get a new .sav file and get a new friends code. They wont know its the same Rom without lookin. | |||

| That can be really annoyin. Havin to use the gba slot and the NDS slot at the same time to load the offline tracks. Just need to figure out how to make a single Rom to have those abilities without the help of the original DS cart. Does anyone have any theories on how this could be done? | |||

| Ok thanx for that. And yes im doin this blind but this is how we learn. I shall map out the arm9.bin file. I knew of the players stats being in this file but I didnt know how much information it really contained. So thanx for the info. | |||

Hmmm unlimited bullet bills. That would be cool but then again that would be cheating  . So I dont think that would be a gd idea. But I will look into it. It would also be cool if the chain chomp was found in the kiosk version. That would be the best wepon of all! |

| Ok jus found a new MKDS Demo! Its from E3 and it has all the shyguys that you can select. You all can play against each other as shyguy and can play single player as mario against all the shyguy's. I think that we can take out these shyguys and add them to the original game. It seems that shyguy will become a single player! | |||

| To juga juga: Yes of course its possible to play the tracks on wifi. We have done that test only days ago. But they stay as pure white. We have two theories to how it can be changed so that you can have textures on the normal Rom:
1. Is do decompress the .carc track files and then take the textures out from the kiosk version. Then dump them into the tex.carc of the normal Rom and it should load the textures. 2. Is to replace most of the tracks on the normal rom with the kiosk tracks. And reprogram the arm9.bin file to load the textures that are alread inside the kiosk track files. That will give them thier textures. But I dont know of any prograam that allows me to read the commands in the arm9.bin file. If anyone does know how to then please state in this thread on how to do it. To maple - Yes its the 2005 - 2006 demo. Its not the kiosk 2004 demo. This demo jus has shyguys in it and two race tracks. I would hope to get the shyguys to work in the normal game. To do it, I would need to objdump the files from the arm9.bin to even get close to them. Im currently trying this out now. |

| Well I can race you on the beta tracks but remember they will be pure white. And very hard to play.
The textures can only be accessed either you knowing how to use hex editor (which is long and boring). Or you can extract them from the tracks.carc files. Doing this will give you their textures in seperate files. They dont work on the normal game because they are named diffrently. So they dont match up, leaving them white. |

| Erm ok but there is one thing I need to know. Did you use the wifi patch from the Gcentral forum? Or did you do the renaming of tracks? If its the patch then it wont work. But if you did the renamings then it will work, but I would then need to know whats the names of the tracks that you had replaced.
Also you cant play test1 course or luigi course. They simply dont work yet. They are not compatable in any of the swapping of names of any other race track. |

| Yeah sure go to this site: (ROM Link Deleted)
This should downloaad the Rom to your computer. It works with M3 and Supercard. Do let me know what ya think about it  (edited by Imajin on 07-31-06 06:04 PM) |

| Yeah there are many things linked to my name. The old country im sure you got from wiki. But it is my actual name. Oh and about the Rom, I wasnt sure if I should have posted the link but will take it off if one of the mods ask me too. | |||

| There is no need realy to create action replay card codes to play them as im creating a new MKDS game that you will be able to play them on normally. Done some wifi test and have been able to play the beta courses against other people. Its going to take a while for me to complete due to texture problems and such. |
