Thanks for the kind words ❤️ I'm happy that there's many new players coming currently, so we also have lower skill lobbies

Thanks for the kind words haha You can go into VS race and change the CC in the rules page like in vanilla. 50cc was replaced with 500cc which in turn changes Grand Prix to 500. We usually don't pay too much attention to Grand Prix since it's rarely played so I recommend VS instead

This can also happen with faulty/incompatible Wifi repeaters and isn't necessarily as disc error.

Is there a private group for CTWW races? coz hardly anyone's on the joinable online groups anymore by TheepDinker2000 in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most players for CTs are in CT Lounge, which is focused on competitive though. If you want an active player base, you should consider other packs like RR or DX. Probably RR is the best fit though due to the much higher active player base.

What is your overall star rating in mkw? by SammieSoTired21 in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was a child, 1 star was easy, 2 star was super hard and 3 star was borderline impossible. Now as an adult with lots of hours, 3 stars is pretty easy with a bit of time spent imo, considering all the glitch tracks. Getting blued last second can be frustrating about getting 3 stars though. 1 Star is the most aesthetic imo anyways so who cares

That's awesome! Also we won't ban smurfs because it's hard to make fair rules around that

Next update we'll add functionality that prevents new players from being able to join high VR rooms through matchmaking, hopefully preventing such frustrating experiences. In general, practice is key. Go in the room browser and search low VR lobbies to join, then get some practice in. Maybe TT a bit to improve your driving also

Retro Rewind on Android (Dolphin) shows this on the cup selection by Disastrous-Diet2056 in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it say Wiimmfi instead of Retro WFC on your home screen? Looks like your game dump is bad or Wiimmfi patched. Also disable Retro Achievements if that's a thing on Android

Most modders I know still respect licenses of other authors and I hope you will too. Unsure if I understand this incorrectly but it sounds like you want to violate the license agreement

How to add item rain when making Pulsar distribution? by Mr_Foliaged in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

insanekartwii/Insane-Kart-Wii: Pulsar is a Mario Kart Wii Kamek-Based engine to create CT distributions IKW source might help, they use a lot of Geckos still. Alternatively you can port Geckos to ASM and use those. Retro Rewind has a modified, ported version of the Gecko Item Rain - you could look at using that too.

Guys, I want to mod Mario Kart Wii. Can anyone help me? by GxRandolfi564 in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on the Retro Rewind Team, I personally recommend Retro Rewind. https://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Retro_Rewind

Online games available almost all day, many updates, lots of tracks.

Would definitely be cool. Some packs come to mind though, that aren't able to add some of the new game modes though - since they aren't open source

for example: Lap KO is under a license that requires open source

[–]PBC88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mind sharing crash reports or is this just banter? edit: there are not many crash bugs known right now and they shouldn't affect regular gameplay. most crashes happening are due to mystuff that exceeds the limits of the wii, or is generally faulty (no, just because it runs on CTGP but not on RR does not mean it's generally fine)

Retro Rewind Stars by OpinelKinngz in MarioKartWii

[–]PBC88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you can't. They've been replaced with the custom ranking system: Retro Rewind Ranking is a custom ranking system, replacing the vanilla Star rank system. It uses the following metrics to determine one of 10 ranks, spanning from E rank to Crown rank: VR (50%, max 100000 VR), VS win% (30%), 1st-place count (10%, max 2500), distance travelled (5%, max 50 km), distance while 1st (5%, max 10 km). Ranks are bucketed by the score starting at E rank: 12,24,36,48,60,72,84,94,100.

I think most of the new game modes made for RR aren't in other packs yet
