well this game is just amazing!
I just finished playing through 2 cups and it is superb!
Graphics are a lot better than mk:dd, you can tell if you have a bigger tv.
More detail, more polished, it just rocks. It wont make you think you are playing 360 or a ps3 of course
but compared to other wii games (zak & wiki comes to mind) it very clean & with almost no alias at all.

Controls are more accurate than excite truck (not that excite truck was bad) but as a veteran of mk:dd
i settled for remote+nunchuck gameplay.

in the next days i will be playing online too (i ll buy it of course, 50Eu is just too small of a sum to pay for what i am getting)
so... we ll see each other online!

for the record: pal wii, dont remember when i last updated, it didnt ask for an update, everything works fine!

It's been a while, so I am not up to the lingo like I used to be...just quickly (maybe we can sticky this)...I have an NTSC-U Wii. What do I need to do after I get the .iso in order to run this game without negative effects on my Wii? Am I risking anything after running the patched DVD? Also, what will I be missing once the .iso is patched for the NTSC-U Wii? Thanks!

does trucha signed stuff still work after installing this games update?
Yes. But it will still result in dual channels/semibrick. Just don't run the update at all.

Cool. I'll just wait for the NTSC release.
Or you could use Brickblocker.

Can anyone give me an MD5 for the ISO? I don't have a blank DVD, although I suspect a fake, file size is correct. Thanks!

Works perfectly on Cyclowiz 3.6b after being patched by WIU. No duplicate channels, Wii is latest version NTSC 3.2U.
Nevermind, I found out the channel doesn't even work on a NTSC Wii, oh well. I'll just wait for the U.S. release for that channel, for now I'll enjoy everything else in MKwii

Might as well add another report:

US Console at 3.2U (latest), Wiikey at 1.9s with Update Blocking on. Unmodified Mario Kart Wii ISO.

Results: Update Requested and Performed. Dual Channels with PAL but as far as I can tell there is no "semi-brick".

And I'd also like to say that Nintendo FINALLY got online right!

Is there any advantage in installing the mario kart channel apart from you not having to put the disk in to check the scorecard, etc, and do you get the same options to see everything on the channel when u do have the disk in but you don't install the channel?

Also can it be deleted once it has been installed?

Scrubbed it only comes to 2968mb? Sounds like a rush job to me.

It does sound a bit rushed doesn't it? I too was expecting a file size of around 4GB minimum.

Oh well I haven't played it yet so I will reserve my judgement, most people here seem to be enjoying it so far.

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.

Yep, working fine. Brick Blocker not necessary, the update doesn't hurt anything for me. I had 3.2U (WiiWare, not Trucha) update on it beforehand. The channel cannot be used, error message. Online works. Everything works but the channel.

  • 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

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
