Instructions:
Use a bps patcher program and apply the .bps file on a "Mario Kart 64 (U) [!].z64" ROM.
You can use the Web-based N64 ROM byteswapper to convert a Mario Kart 64 (U).n64 rom file into .z64.
This game needs an Expansion Pak. Your emulator also needs to be set to support the memory extension.
Set it to 8 MB memory. The way to do this varies for each emulator, so please look it up online, if you are unsure how to.
I can confirm the romhack to be compatible with the latest not64 version.
How to play custom courses:
1. Choose any gameplay mode you want, except "Battle"
2. Proceed to the "Course Select" screen
3. On the "Course Select" screen, press the R button. The header image will now change to "Custom Set 1"
4. Choose the course or cup you want to play and start the race
How to toggle "Coin Mode"
1. On the title screens options menu, you can find the setting called "N64 Coin Mode"
2. Press left or right on it, to toggle it on and off
Known issues:
-Not every course runs perfectly or even may run at all on real hardware. (I don't have the possibility to develop and playtest on console)
-The trophy ceremony sequence doesn't work right and softlocks the game. You will need to reset the console/emulator in this case.
-Coins can be collected by every racer, even CPU and ghost racers.
-In "Grand Prix Mode" when finishing a race, some visual properties from the next course may be applied for the duration of the results sequence.
-Some settings on the title screens menu may not work in every gamemode and some may not do anything. Play around with them at your own risk.
