This would be a good idea on a custom updater. All you have to do it put the RomFS or CXI file in a folder in the root of the SD card. Next, open up the updater to check for updates and check the current version of the game installed, then if there is an update it will download the files and will rebuild the RomFS in the 3DS. When it is done it should replace the rebuilt RomFS with the current RomFS. Well, you can make this if you want to or if you have the time for it. This would just help save some time.

I would made that if I knew how to code.

, and if it was evrn posible

LOL, it is possible because they use C++ or c# to code and you can also use the internet to download files through the 3DS. There is even a updater for gridlauncher that uses the internet to download the files and it tells you the version of the current gridlauncher you have. I would make this if either one of the 2 of these happen: Either 1.I learn c++ and learn how to work around with the 3DS with it 2. They make a API where you could use the internet to both find versions and download them through some lua scripting (Love Potion API or Lua Player Plus). I would help you with it if either of those two happen.

Wait, I just checked in Lua Player Plus(LPP) that you actually can download files via HTTP protocol and we can check for version files through string! But the only two problems are that.

1. It can't extract from zip files(Possibly)
2. It can't build the RomFS file(This is the main problem)

If this gets fixed we might be able to create a downloader that can build the RomFS, and extract files to build the RomFS via Lua Script (Through wither Lua Player Plus or Love Potion API. Preferably Lua Player Plus).

Good news! We can actually extract files from zip!
Bad news it that we still cant build the RomFS file...

Shadd · Feb 3, 2016

More bad news!
I can't code with this until I manage to find how it works. This is a lot more different than what I have learned from the same code... And even worse, more errors... (I was just trying to test out the code until I realized it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be. The API is just too different so then I have to learn it before I make anything out of it. And I am actually good with lua and do know lua, but it is just that the API is very different and/or just missing some things...)

I already used lua to make the course manager, and I don't think the 3ds is powerful enough to rebuild a 600MB romfs in a reasonable time. Maybe CFW users can do it with course manager, but in the furure.

Shadd · Feb 3, 2016

Hmm... Ok that is fine, I will try to find a way to fix that (Mostly because I can't get CFW). Anyway I am just trying to learn how to use lua in the API by looking into other completed apps used with lua.

I just can't find a tutorial on how to use the API for it... Anyway would you be able to insert a Mr.L texture for Luigi? BTW don't ask me for the Mr.L texture because I am having trouble finding it. If I do find the texture. I'll just send you the link to the guy who posted it.

Can we use the course manager to change the tracks in a GP cup to other official tracks? Kinda like the custom GPs you can send to other people, only you can race on them yourself. If so, that will be a good substitute for the lack of a VS mode.

For now, it only can enable/disable CTs.

I'm the guy who posted it xP. I'm adding it to next release.

Shadd · Feb 5, 2016

Oh lol, I forgot about that you were the guy who's name was ylshi or something like that.

Anyway that sounds amazing! I'm not sure if you changed this part or not, but it would be cool to add Mr.L's small mad-like confident face (as in the eyebrows go down and the eye lids go down with it making a mad-like face and making also making the mouth smile a little giving it a confidently mad-like face)

Oops, not ylshi, but something else. I just forgot the name.

Could you please make a version that runs/installs on Mac?

There's no installation on mac... It does not even need to be installed. It just runs through windows or mac(But there isin't a mac version).

All the programs used are windows based, I cannot be ported.

You can't be ported, but also the programs cant be ported either.

(You'll understand when you re-read what you wrote wrong and also I did this because I am bored)

Shadd · Feb 7, 2016

Well, i'm still waiting for the update... XD

Shadd · Feb 7, 2016

Any hints for when is the next update coming???

Shadd · Feb 10, 2016

Too bad I can't put homebrew on my friends O3DS and put CTGP-7 because
1. Browserhax does not support his system firm
2. He does not own any game that could be hacked with
3. He only has a 2 GB SD (that I let him borrow)
4. His system does not have enough space to put CTGP-7 in it

How would I install a custom track if I own a digital copy of mk7

The same way you normally would, using homebrew (HANS)
