Why do people assume if a game doesn't have a massive file size its rushed/bad? It has very little to do with how good or bad the game will be or even how long it is.


Very true. Some of the best games ever are less than 10mb.

Personally, the game feels pretty tired. Kinda like same shit, different tracks. But I'll need to wait till I kick up some local multiplayer.

NTSC Wii, 3.1U firmware
Wiikey clone 1.9s
Memorex DVD-Rs

Burned with BrickBlocker, didn't have to update, game played perfectly...well, almost. I played a couple of tracks and then it game me a cannot read media error. HOWEVER, originals have done this on my machine before, so I don't think it's because it's a PAL or a copy or anything like that. Anyway, anyone with console specs like mine, burn and play, you're safe and it's a FANTASTIC game.

Hey, so I had 3.1U before loading Mario Kart Wii. Updated without using brick blocker (stupid decision) and semi-bricked my wii (settings menu inaccessible). Here is my question:

When Mario Kart Wii USA comes out will I be able to update from 3.2E to 3.2U?

I sure hope so

I wanna play online but now that I can't access my settings I can't configure my internet properly.

Also, there's no chance of being able to downgrade using an older wii game, right?

Game sucks, slow, crappy, mediocre graphics. Items that were useless before are still useless (I'm looking at you blooper). 150cc feels like 50cc or slower on GCN or NDS or N64 or hell SNES.

Can't say much about the maps, cause I don't know why the hell they made it where you can't unlock stuff with 2-4 players, which is lame cause everyone came over to play and then there's only 16 maps to play and we can only take turns trying to unlock stuff, which I'm sure is tedious.

Snaking is still there, it's just going to be hard to pull off, but with enough time those who cry about snaking will be in tears again.

Online mode is done well, you can pretty much play all day/night/day/night and only connect to someone one time. You can see Mii's and names of people, which is awesome for Nintendo, but crappy for online gaming as an expanding venture.

What the hell happened to Nintendo? They want to make your Grandma play these games, but I'm sorry, Grandma's not into this stuff. Leave the pro franchises alone, and make new ones for old and stupid people. Wii Sports is great for Grandma, Smash Bros. isn't something she's going to get into, so don't dumb it down. Don't make Mario Kart slow as shit and get rid of the god damn friend codes.

Um, I have a PAL Wii with Wiikey 1.9g, firmware 3.1E. Do I need to apply any patch to the ISO before I burn? I mean, what do I have to do exactly for this to work?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if there is split screen online multiplayer or split screen lan multiplayer? I want to set up a 8 player tournament this weekend. Cheers.

By the way, I'm getting error 20100 when trying to connect to mario kart wii online. Does that happen with all semi-bricked wiis or is this a normal error and I should just keep on retrying?
Well I don't know from experience but it's probably, like you said, that you don't have your internet configured right.

2-player Online, and no LAN (on any wii game that I'm aware of)

Just burn it, pop it in, update to 3.2E and play.

I'd prolly update that Wiikey to 1.9s first though.

Yeah, but generally bad games have low files sizes.. I didnt say a game with a small file size cant be good.

QUOTE(MC DUI @ Apr 8 2008, 03:21 PM) So does this have 4 player multiplayer on one Wii system?
It damn well better!!!

The multiplayer split screen wifi option is a nice addition too

Can anyone with a PAL Wii and a Chip, which isn't WiiKey, confirm, that Trucha-Signed Discs still work, AFTER playing MK:Wii Online?
Because some say, that MK:Wii updates IOS37 through Online-Mode.

    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow

    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
