[Help Wanted] "Mario Kart 8 Downgrade" Homebrew MK8 for DS

[Yeniaul]

Guys, I'm using several hundred files, all decompressed. A ds rom is basically a zip file, but the files inside are also compressed, drastically reducing space needed. And also, I'm just removing files, and injecting custom code with a Python wrapper.

I knew you were doing it. Also, you may want to use 7z lzz encoding with aes encryption for better compatibility and lower filesize.

Good idea, but it's slower, and I need fast speeds. Maybe if they can make it faster.

try the option "fast compression"

 

[Yeniaul]

It tested all right, but it won't save, and some tracks crash immediately. It'll need some tweaks and strain testing before I release a public beta.

will you upload a video for grewing hype? also will the patch be a ips file?

 

[Yeniaul]

I'll probably make my own algorithm, a basic but fast one. Thanks for the suggestion though!

 

[VinsCool]

due to high file size. you probably want to use bankswitching rom for better space optimisation.

I think I'll make a few different versions of IPS and built ones, so you can build it if you want or just download and go.
As for a video... meh... It's unclean and not really an "alpha" yet, more of a bad modding job.

Already taken care of.

 

[VinsCool]

Maybe the patch will walk on my r4?
I know it has some issues with pokemon heartgold.

 

[Yeniaul]

I've got finals soon, so I doubt i'll get much more work done than I already have. I'll probably make a form for suggestions, but I need to study for my degree.

I have my OFFICIAL r4i Gold pro from the link in my signature, and it runs absolutely EVERYTHING flawlessly!

Meh, close enough.

Meh, close enough.

Your card is a clone of a clone. It is a clone of a R4i SDHC (r4i-sdhc.com) which is a clone of a DSTT.

It doesn't really matter. As long as it works and you like it.
