Hacking [RELEASE] Mario Kart 8 Music (replacement) Tool

[nastys]

Mario Kart 8 Music Tool

This is a fork of BRSTM/BCSTM/BFSTM Conversion Tool. It allows you to change most songs in Mario Kart 8 with just a click. It supports all formats supported by SoX and BRSTM/BFSTM files, so you can use songs downloaded from http://brawlcustommusic.com/.

This is currently in BETA. This means that some things may be broken. Also, Windows (and thus OS X) support is currently broken due to some bugs. It only works on GNU/Linux at the moment.

​

Use this with Cafiine.

Not working on Windows/OS X at the moment due to some bugs.

How to install the BETA:

Amazing! I was going to do some custom music for MK8 so this comes in handy. But Windows is not supported yet :/
I'll just do it the "old" way.

I'll tag you when it's supported

@nastys, @Mr. Mysterio: Would this be possible to merge with UWizard?

@Mr. Mysterio ?
It's possible, but hard.

Yeah, thanks, I tried XD

Uwizard is opensource now

I know, but it's still written in C#...
And MK8MT has a lot of buttons. It's definitely not easy to port.

Everyone keep in mind, that the 3rd and 4th channels in a course song are always used for the frontrunning beats.

That explains why sometimes there's no music... I'll fix it soon

Anyway, I added you to the credits

There are specific channel settings for each song that vary. The first pair of channels can mute while the 3rd or 4th pair will take its place. It's not really consistent aside from frontrunning placement.

Cool app, nastys!
If I have enough free time, I could certainly try to add this to Uwizard.
Is the kernel exploit public yet? I need it to test this right?

It's a LOT of work... You might as well port Uwizard into this program

Is the kernel exploit public yet? I need it to test this right?

Yes, but only for firmware 5.3.2.

Oooh, yeah! Now I can FINALLY blast my Uncle with infinite items in MK8!!!!!! I've been waiting SOOOOO long to do that!

I haven't looked at the source yet. Maybe I'll just port some parts of it.

Lol I see you've been out of the loop about as long as I have! I can catch you up in PM if you need me to

If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate that. Thanks.
I have been pretty busy... Today, I actually have enough time to use my laptop for a few hours! (I haven't even opened it for the past week. )

FINALLY A LINUX APPS!!

thanks nastys!

does this only work by replacing music on the fly via network to the actual console or can it be used for emulators (such as Cemu) as well?

 

[The Real Jdbye]

This is the first thing I've ever seen that requires Wine but doesn't work on Windows
Nice work though. I like the interface (though it could probably use being separated into multiple tabs or something for lower resolution screens)

I know, but it's still written in C#...
And MK8MT has a lot of buttons. It's definitely not easy to port.

I don't think the number of buttons is an accurate way to measure how hard something would be to port.
What matters more is how many lines of code there are.

It was meant to be used with Cafiine, I don't think it can be used for emulators...

Nice work though. I like the interface (though it could probably use being separated into multiple tabs or something for lower resolution screens)

It uses some Windows-only programs but the tool itself is broken on Windows And since it's been over a year, I don't think I'll ever fix it... (it's open source, though)
If you have a low-res screen, just drag the window while pressing Alt

I don't think the number of buttons is an accurate way to measure how hard something would be to port.
What matters more is how many lines of code there are.

Each button requires at least 3 lines of code (just look at the source code...)
