Meet Mario Kart 8's first ever Hack Pack, it's Mario Kart 8 Hack Pack. Boring name, I know.
Features
  • 2 Completely Custom Tracks, 8 Edited Tracks, 22 Skybox Edited Tracks
  • Custom Skins/Imports for almost every character
  • Custom music for 7 tracks (I'll probably do a cup a day)
  • 6 Custom Karts
  • Fidget Spinner Water Propeller
  • Edited Text to match with the mods
Screenshots

Sorry for potato quality, no capture card.
Planned Updates
  • More custom music
  • Sm4sh Villager (Just waiting for CorBond to let me)
  • Add edited text for other regions.
How to Install
  1. Copy the SDCafiine and WiiU folders from "MK8HP v1.0.2 by Trainiax.7z" to the root of your SD Card.
  2. In the SDCafiine, replace the "titleid" folder name with the correct title id from your region (see "README.txt")
  3. Insert your SD Card into your Wii U.
  4. Enter Internet Browser and go to Loadiine.ovh
  5. Click on "Homebrew Launcher 1.3 (5.5.0 - 5.5.1)"
  6. Click on Mocha.elf
  7. Go back into Internet Browser and start Homebrew Launcher again.
  8. Select SDCafiine.
  9. Boot up Mario Kart 8
  10. ...
  11. Profit
Everything should work regardless of region, except for edited text. I only have the American version of the game, and I only speak English, so American English is the only region/language edited text will work on.
Is this WiFi Safe?
NO! This is not safe to use in Worldwide and Regionals. This will work with friends if they have this modpack installed. If you don't have friends and want to play with people on MK8HP, I have created a Mario Kart 8 Tournament that you can enter the code and race. No guaranties that anyone will join, however. The code is: 9883-4891-3599

So... That's, nice?

But, since it is still under planifications, why make an announcement? That will make people impatient now.

But anyway, good luck for this, and hopefully more people will join! :grog:

Would it ever be possible to include a course editor?
Anything is possible. However, it is impossible to do at this moment, and highly unlikely to ever include a course editor in game. If you are talking about out of game, I'd wait for Wexos Toolbox to be released.

Nah, you got it right: in-game, or at least on the Wii-U. Thanks for the info!

Sorry, we don't accept "project announcement" threads without at least a little Proof of Concept (screenshots, videos, etc) that work is being done. Too many fake projects out there, welp.

Feel free to edit the first post with some stuff and then report it and we'll reopen it.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
