​

The days of Wii modding brought forth a big number of diverse entries, from New Super Mario Bros. mods and its recreations of past titles or entirely new maps and gameplay, to Super Smash Bros. Brawl and its still strong mod scene with new fighters, maps, music and almost everything in the game, to also Mario Kart Wii mods, which prompted the inception of the now widely known "CTGP" named hacks for anything Mario Kart.

Since then, CTGP mods for Mario Kart titles have been available for each entry of the series since, with Wii being the first one, then Mario Kart 7 (CTGP-7) and now for Mario Kart 8, which is based on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for this mod, titled "CTGP Deluxe".

This new CTGP entry adds entirely new tracks to the original Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which range from past Mario Kart tracks from the SNES, GBA, 3DS and other older entries, to tracks from other racing franchises, like Diddy Kong Racing, new tracks inspired by levels from other non-racing games, like Sonic Unleashed, to entirely new custom maps made exclusively for this CTGP DX release.

CTGP Deluxe adds 14 new cups, with 56 additional custom tracks and an all-new soundtrack with brand new features, and is available for download right now for those interested in trying it out in either their own hacked Switch, or through an emulator, at the CTGP Deluxe website, with install instructions available on the site as well.

seems cool, too bad I dunno how to hack my switch
(Impeeza, what are you angry about)

Yes, it's a good one. Some of these tracks almost put the Nintendo devs to shame. I hope in the next version we can work on 3-starring every GP (and save the results to show off).

Yes I noticed that as well. You cant see the trophies for the GP's with this mod installed. A very minor grype on an otherwise outstanding piece of work. I do hope they can rectify that in a future release.

I was thinking that was some wrong on my setup. but good to know is not just me wanting to brag about the 3 star on all tracks!

I can't seem to get the new tracks to show up in-game on Ryujinx with this. I have the new title screen and character select, but pressing X on the track select screen does nothing and I can't see the purple pages of new GPs

Its L & R to select the new GP's

I figured it out; for some reason I think the download either corrupted on its way to me or 7-zip didn't unarchive it fully. I redownloaded it fresh from the site and replaced the mod folder in the Ryujinx directory and now all is well.

There's a new MK8D update. If you wanna keep playing CTGP Deluxe, obviously you shouldn't update.

Thanks for the heads-up! What does this update bring? Stability?

Edit:

Well, to answer my own question:

Several issues have been addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

V1.0.1 released yesterday, compatible with the new MK8D update. They are quick to fix!

Well the 3.0.3 update is not on my «store» yet, and based on the patch description:

Dataminer 'OatmealDome' has shed some light on what exactly is going on behind the scenes in this latest update. It seems it's tied to "a security flaw in the game's netcode":

"The version 3.0.3 update fixes a security flaw in the game's netcode. Only a few lines of the code were modified (appears to be a fix for a buffer overflow). There were no changes to the graphics, sounds, game balance, etc."

No need to upgrade on the time being.

Oh man, finally an update after all these weeks and STILL no wireless multiplayer re-enabled.
