Please make any questions, comments, suggestions, or concerns about my Mario Kart DS Tournament in this thread.

Link to sign-up thread:

http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=55819

The IRC channel for this tournament will be #MKDS_Tournament on IRCHighway

EDIT: There seems to be some confusion about this tournament. Snaking is allowed in this tournament. Hope this clears some things up.

Its impossible to do an acurate non snaking tournament. You can either have a tourny with MT's, or without... you cant have a bit of both. For example, in a non-snaking match, who can say how many MT's your alloud to use? in F8C, coming out of the first corner, who can say exatly where your last MT can be before your on that straight way where its considered 'snaking'. or when it comes to the striaght, and instead of MTing left, right, left, right, and you just repetativly let rip right facing MT's on the straight section the whole time? That is not considered snaking, but for some it would seem against the rules still. What im saying is, unless you say 'you can only do a certain number of MT's per lap' or 'no MT's at all' a non snaking match would be incredibly inacurate. Having a snaking match is a great idea, it solves everything, and your alloud to do whatever the hell you want. and its more fast and fun... the only problem is all the snaker haters wouldnt enter, because they know they dont stand a chance. So good luck on getting 30 -50 people that you wanted

Are you sure that you don't want to play? I myself am pretty good, and I'll probably invite some other talented people. We need all the players we can get

Oh, and would you like to race sometime? I'm just curious to see how good you are

Yeah sure, It will probably be on a Saturday. And of course any sort of hacking/cheating will be strictly prohibited. I want the winners of this tournament to win by skill, not whoever can find the best AR codes online.

I'm interested, but some questions.

how will results be recorded?

no snaking is fine, but can you still use skid turns (slide without powerup)?

Oh, and is it US only or will you ship to other countries?

Yes, snaking will be allowed. And results will be recorded by posts in a special topic made for them. One person from each round will post the results of the match in the topic. And if the poster is lying, then the other participants will post the real ones.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    i dont have an sd card adapter but I have an usb sd card adapter

    Old people games

    its not the one that comes with the r4
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    doesnt work (my flashcard is from r4isdhc.com)
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    might install ysmenu first
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    but why choose it over ysmenu @Psionic Roshambo?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    bc im stupid?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    yea ik im stupid
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    good night
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    guys, my fuckin headphones have an out of place speaker

    Did you try wearing them?
