Please reframe from asking people to provide or directly link to you warez or copyright material. See GBAtemp Terms & Rules.

Also, edit out your post.
I was asking about a 10 year old mod that was available for public download until this site closed. I just want to clarify, does that fall under copyrightable content in the rules? If so, I apologise for taking your time.

Thank you

Was this Mario Kart 7 mod you were referring to (before the edit) a romhack that you download in CIA form?

It's a Mario Kart Wii mod that my brother had on his Wii circa 2013. (Unfortunately that Wii is long gone) I never installed it myself, but I figured it would be its own file, not a modified ISO. Of course now that I can't find it, I have no way of knowing.

Was the mod called CTGP Revolution? Without being too specific since I can't verify the contents, that chad site and that banana site.

It definitely isn't that. I just installed and played CTGP today, which got me thinking about the Mario Kart Wii mod I'd played years ago.

It had a lot of dumb custom stuff. Dubstep music, coca-cola tracks, "broken cup" cup, and I specifically remember a pic of Mario smoking weed on the initial Wii strap screen. I can link to videos of it and the original reddit post the creator made, just not on this site. (of course the download links are dead, or I wouldn't be writing this)

If it was made recently then I would assume the mod would only contain its own files, judging by the mario kart wii mods I've found. But it was made 9 years ago according to the reddit post, and I don't know how mario kart wii mods were distributed back then.

[reddiit, r/wii] Mario Kart Black Mod (calling all Mario Kart Wii fans)
[GameTDB] CKBE88 - Mario Kart Wii Black

All the leak sources I've seen, none of which were active, seem to imply this romhack takes the full ripped version of the base Mario Kart Wii game.

Edit - I think I've hit the limits of GBAtemp's ToS. My parting advice to you @wiimaster9000 is to ask around at a different related wii gaming / romhack forum or medium (discord?) that's more flexible about these things. Just not this one. Good luck with your search!

Nintendos sales musta hit rock bottom if this is how they attempting to make money.

Not a chance Switch has sold 52 million. You don't have to be desperate for money to try to stop someone from pirating your own material. The movies that get torrented and you get a notice for them are often the ones who made the most money.

With some these sites being open for 15 years. im not exactly impressed by their lazy ass actions now. perhaps within the first few months may of shown they truely cared of their content. not 15 years later.

  • 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.

  • 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

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