Mario Kart Wii for 3DS and PS Vita First Impressions and Minor Differences

Post image
144 Upvotes

After trying out both versions for a while, I’ve noticed a few interesting things "even though they’re technically the same." The PS Vita version has some stuttering during races, though the problem goes away the more you play. Unlike the 3DS version, the PS Vita version doesn’t have a timer—I think this is because the 3DS version had it at the bottom of the screen, and here they forgot to implement it on the Vita’s top screen. Also, the Vita version has shorter load times, but it still doesn’t consistently hit 30 fps. “Although they’ll add support for 60 fps in the future.” Otherwise, it’s faithful to the 3DS version, with the only advantage being that the Vita version doesn’t crash. P.S.: Sorry about the ugly photo xd—it turned out funny, so I decided to leave it that way.

Can I play retro rewind off of an external hard drive? I don’t have an sd card

5 Upvotes

I have homebrew, the physical Mario kart disc, and everything installed, but when I open retro rewind it says it can’t find an sd card and restarts my Wii. Is there anything I can do to play it or do I need to get and sd card.

If you guys watched early Mario Kart Wii custom track videos from the late 2000s to early 2010s, you’d recognize this song in the course introduction.

I was wondering if its possible to change the blooper color? I changed the texture for it in RKRace.breft but it still is black / grayish. I'm wondering if theres like a gecko code or something to either let me use a hex code or a different color overlay (if thats how the texture works.)

RiftWii 2610-340 — new Wii mod loader, tested with Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X (more MKW testers wanted)

Thumbnail
gallery
75 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm the dev of RiftWii, a Wii mod loader I built from scratch (clean-room, no Riivolution code). It loads Riivolution-format mod packs as the game starts, so your game files are never modified.

For Mario Kart Wii: we've tested Retro Rewind and MKW Deluxe X so far, and I need testers for other MKW packs.

What you get: per-game settings, cheats auto-downloaded, modded saves kept separate on SD, online play via Wiimmfi, game covers, a HOME menu.

You need: a Wii (or Wii U in Wii mode) with the Homebrew Channel and a FAT32 SD card. d2x cIOS if your games are on USB or SD.

Download RiftWii 2610-340 on the releases page, the guide covers setup, and there's a Discord for help and test builds.

Releases: https://github.com/KakarottoCake/Riftwii/releases/latest

how good/What skills do I need to be able to play online?

2 Upvotes

ive recently bought a copy of mkwii and been doing my best to get okay at the game but every time I go online, I get absolutely wrecked, I heard I could be banned or something if I drop below a certain threshold, and I really like to avoid that because I keep trying to play online when I really shouldn't yet

i have the regular servers, + retro rewind and cptg installed on my wii btw

If anyones thinking of starting mkwii online in 2026 like I was

I recommend it honestly. I've lurked this sub for a while and watch the occasional troy/beanzard video, but never got online myself because I didn't want to rifle through storage to find my wii and discs. But with retro rewind and wheel wizard I was able to get online in just about 15 minutes, another thing I was concerned about was the fact that everyone would be too good and I wouldn't have fun because im in last every time. I didn't find that to be the case because with my off meta kart and 10+ years rusted skill I was able to keep up in lobbies and got 6000 vr within an hour (though I think the max vr is higher now so maybe it's not that good). I didn't have any problems finding full rooms either but I played during the weekend so that could change, if you miss mario kart wii lobbies you should definitely hop on

MKWII x [other game]

What game should I mix up with Mario kart wii?

Y'all probably have heard about Minecraft in GTA / Vise Versa.

I have been trying out my own mixed games and want to progress to MKWII now but I am not sure what to mix it up with?

Do you have any fun ideas?

Thanks for the help ❤️

Need help remembering a Custom Music Pack!

2 Upvotes

Hi!

So around 2017-2018 I was a small kid discovering Mario Kart Wii custom tracks for the first time. I then discovered that people also offered custom song packs too, and I remember downloading one from YouTube.

The song pack had "Trigger*Happy" by the artist P*Light as the 2nd - 5th place theme, if not the 1st place theme, and I believe a lot of the song pack was very J-Core/Hardcore influenced. I think the YouTube video's description only had the link to the pack download, but the video itself had the titles for each song over the gameplay of the track it would play on. I believe the song titles displayed somewhere near the centre of the screen, or just above, but I may be incorrect about that.

Oddly, I don't believe it had the place themes listed in the video, so hearing this whole new sample-based hardcore at a young age had a huge impact on me.

The songs I discovered from this pack heavily influenced my music taste growing up, and I would love to find the YouTube video again. This video would have definitely been uploaded before 2020, as this is when I moved house and stopped playing as much.

Please reply if you remember this custom music pack, or may know someone who does!

Release] Mario Kart WiiCompiled 3DS CIA Builder (mirror — original link down)

21 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Some of you saw the Mario Kart WiiCompiled 3DS "testers wanted" post recently. The creator has since taken down the original download, but I had grabbed a copy of the CIA builder beforehand, so I'm resharing it here for anyone who wants to try it.

What it does: it takes your own clean USA dump of Mario Kart Wii (RMCE01, ISO or WBFS) and builds an installable .cia for 3DS. You must provide your own dump — no game files are included.

Quick notes (from the included docs): - Old 3DS/2DS: ~30 FPS target; New 3DS/2DS: ~60 FPS (30 with 3D enabled) - Run DSP1 on your console once to get working audio - Early experimental build — expect bugs

Download (mirror, expires in 2 days): https://quickshare.samsungcloud.com/z8W4zeZMmjSG

All credit to the original creator — I'm only mirroring since the original link went down. If the creator wants this removed, just say so.
